Always assign default language before checking if language is allowed
Nice
Lemmy follows the 90-9-1 rule, and you have to be the 1
Well put
It addresses some of the federation issues some of the PD users are experiencing.
For the communities themselves, it does not fix that indeed. I hope they can fix that at some point, but it's been a month and it seems more complex than expected
Report it on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
From the Matrix channel, @snowe@programming.dev has been sick for the last few days.
As mentioned elsewhere, you could consider opening an alt on Lemmy.zip
/r/Redditalternatives is a good place for that
Piefed took its place
It's the place we could redirect people to now that !asklemmy@lemmy.world prevents US politics discussions
I try to post regularly on /r/RedditAlternatives
A few people gave it a try
FYI, I created a similar post on !meta@lemm.ee for lemm.ee and Lemmy.ml
Post to
Consider collaboration with similar communities. !fedigrow@lemm.ee is a good place for that
Hello, FYI this community has a rule preventing questions about US politics, feel free to post on !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Yesterday was a bit of a dumpster fire for all the communities on walledgarden.xyz with some server balancing that went quite poorly if I’m honest. I’ll make a detailed post about it when I’m less annoyed and more confident things are squared away.
Sorry to hear
Thinking about this lately, especially in the context of the UD elections getting discussed a lot all over Lemmy.
If you look at the top 20 instances https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy
- Lemmy.world and feddit.nl are Dutch
- Lemm.ee is Estonian
- Feddit.org, discuss.tchncs.de are German
- SJW and lemmy.ca are Canadian
- Lemmy.blahaj.zone, aussie.zone and Reddthat are Australian
- sopuli.xyz is Finnish
- slrpnk.net is Portuguese
- lemmy.dbzer0, infosec.pub, mander.xyz, programming.dev, lemmy.sdf.org are thematic
- Beehaw is USA-based, but defederated from LW and SJW and still on 0.18.3, so not sure they're even that interested in Lemmy anymore
Out of the top 20, there is Midwest.social and Lemmy.today but they are quite small (326 and 201 monthly active users).
On the other hand, a lot of other countries have their own instances
- feddit.uk
- jlai.lu
- feddit.dk
- szmer.info
- lemmy.eco.br
- feddit.cl
- feddit.it
With the USA population and the Internet presence of the USA citizens, you would expect at least one large generalist instance based in the USA, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
Any ideas what the reasons might be? Is this just a coincidence?
Edit: for Lemmy.world:
The website and the agreement will be governed by and construed per the laws of the following countries and/or states:

Hello everyone,
There seems to be some federation delay between lemm.ee and lemmy.ml: https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/bdid38k9p0t1cf/federation-health-single-instance-overview?orgId=1&var-instance=lemm.ee&var-remote_instance=lemmy.ml
There is now a more than 5 days delay between the two instances
!politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Context: https://lemmy.world/c/politics
As a consequence, !asklemmy@lemmy.world mods got a lot of resentment from people wanting to discuss the elections on that community, when they decided to temporarily ban the topic as well: https://lemmy.world/post/21696356
As always, disclaimer that I'm not a US citizen.
You usually see quite a few people mentioning leaving the country if Trump would get elected, but how realistic are those plans?
Not to say it's not justified with the prospect of Project 2025 (see the other thread), but seems like a huge life change that is probably not possible for most of the people.
Seems like there is an appetite from a few people from aussie.zone so that you guys can be kept up-to-date.
Pinging a few other people that are usually interested in this kind of stuff.
Non-American here, heard about Project 2025 a few weeks ago.
For people unaware:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025#Policies
What is the likelihood of those policies to happen?
Opposite to the last thread, let's see where to send people now that communities like !asklemmy@lemmy.world have temporary rules preventing discussing about US politics
Sad to see them go, but all the best to the admin!
Can maybe help due to the recent events

- List of instances defederating from Threads, the Meta microblogging platform: https://fedipact.veganism.social/
- At the moment, Threads have incomplete federation with Fediverse microblogging instances: https://fediversereport.com/last-week-in-fediverse-ep-86/
- Another meme about Threads: https://feddit.uk/post/18194873
- Threads does not currently federate with link aggregators (Lemmy, Piefed)
- Threads could work with the microblogging part of Mbin
The main arguments for people to defederate are
- "Embrace, extend, and extinguish" strategy: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html
- A potential federation with Threads (should Thread decide to implement it) would overwhelm Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed with millions of users (compared to the 40k monthly current active users), transforming those platforms into a threaded version of Facebook
- Defederating preventively costs nothing

Loops has finally launched, Radio Free Fedi will shut down, and governance for Bridgy Fed.
> Loops.video, the short-form video platform has finally launched, after weeks of delays. There is now an iOS app on TestFlight available, as well as an Android APK, and it there is no waitlist anymore. In some statistics shared by Loops developed Daniel Supernault, Loops now has more than 8000 people signed up and close to a 1000 videos posted.
The whole project seems down

There were a few fantasy communities there such as !fantasy@sffa.community , sad to see them go
