Seems like world deleted the Threads discussion post

I see a lot of people saying they'll just switch instances but haven't seen anyone say they'll just jump ship, am I alone ?

I have switched instances a lot. I don't like the idea of other people curating my feed.

I don't think the world admins really care if users transfer away. That's just federation in action. Good stuff.

The new 0.19.x version allows you to export and import your basic settings like subscriptions and blocks. I personally haven't tested it though.

Otherwise, here on lemmy, activity from threads is unlikely to reach us or have too much of an impact as following lemmy communities won't work well on their end. This presumes that they'll be focused on implementing microblogging and mastodon compatibility, which are very fair presumptions IMO. Not saying that you shouldn't care ... just that there's probably much more time than you think. On top of that, Threads's implementation of federation seems to be going slowly.

It’s possible in the latest version of Lemmy. World hasn’t upgraded yet. They are also already federated with threads.

Threads federation really is a tempest in a teacup. People getting worked up over nothing.

Meta's failed twitter clone probably won't even federate with the threadiverse. Just look at this post. I see lemmy, I see kbin, I see lotide, I don't see mastodon, pleroma, friendica, and so on and so forth at all. I don't see minds (did you know that minds federates?), just a few programs of the same type.

I for one, spent time blocking what I wanted to, to curate my feed, and it took time.

If that is your general approach, why are you suddenly so eager to hand over that responsibility to the instance owner? Why are you pushing for that instances should curate the feeds of all their users, rather than the users themselves?

This one? https://lemmy.world/post/9768202

Threads won't affect Lemmy that much. Threads users will basically have to deliberately interact with Lemmy posts or communities to show up.

Or maybe I’m missing an option that would allow me to transfer all my settings from one instance to another ?

Join us on lemmy.ml! Small and chill instance. Most people are nice left leaning FOSS geeks, interactions are mostly super nice. The only thing I dislike is the Chappo Trap House community, they will basically bully anyone who's not a chappo-bro. I blocked them and voilà ! EDIT: Lol, why am I getting downvoted ?

Let Lemmy.world die Alone and leave them.
They dont care about ideology or others, they are juste sharky and want to make for them a name on the work of others.

I see it like it,

I'm having trust issues with them. I had an issue with them in their support community where they most likely deleted comments and then wouldn't own up, and now I'm at another instance. I would have left when they said they wouldn't defederate threads anyway. Leaving isn't that hard. If .19 gets figured out, you're supposed to be able to leave easily as well.

Can't you block threads.net as a user?

Incidentally, there's an 8 day old post on the topic that is showing in my instance and I checked the source it wasn't deleted when I went.

Glad I left World, I want absolutely nothing to do with Threads.

I beleave there are tools to transfer account settings, personally, keep at least 2 lemmy accounts around (we had a DDOS scandle a while back), dont delete your world account just yet. lemm.ee is like what world is/was before filling up with users, else look at the lemmy server browser. Hope you end up somewhere happy, wherever you end up going.

What's the difference between switching instances and jumping ship?
