And that they will federate with them ? (Can’t seem to find it anymore at least)
I wonder how many people we’re gonna lose over this, because I for one, spent time blocking what I wanted to, to curate my feed, and it took time. I already migrated once, I’m not gonna do it again because some people can’t realize how toxic it’s going to be when they federate with us.
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 ? Or maybe I’m missing an option that would allow me to transfer all my settings from one instance to another ?
You must log in or # to comment.
It’s possible in the latest version of Lemmy. World hasn’t upgraded yet. They are also already federated with threads.
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.

I have switched instances a lot. I don’t like the idea of other people curating my feed.
I made my own instance for this reason.
I have considered it.
Is it expensive? Considering doing it myself
I had a spare computer that I installed Linux on a whole back, but wasn’t using it for much at the time. If set up like that, all you would pay for is the electricity, which is very low if you’re only running Lemmy, probably only a couple of US dollars a month. You could probably run it on a raspberry pi, tbh.
Personally, I have solar panels that power my whole house. So it’s free for me.
What instance are you on? Voyager doesn’t even show me!
In Voyager, you can toggle showing users’ instances in Settings > Appearance.
There are probably better instances out there, but I’m on lemmy.dbzer0.com at the moment.
I don’t like the idea of other people curating my feed.
I’ll leave fediverse, so many instances in the fediverse are still federated with Threads
I don’t think the world admins really care if users transfer away. That’s just federation in action. Good stuff.

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?
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,
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 !
There’s a lot of negatives surrounding moderating on that instance and I’m sure the community you mentioned doesn’t help.
Mmm I didn’t know that. Seems pretty relax to me, never had an interaction with any of the mods. To me it’s a very small reddit without all the toxicity. Good enough for me. Oh, and no porn, I guess that prevents many users from joining, probably a good thing in the end.
Can’t you block threads.net as a user?
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’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.
Threads won’t affect Lemmy that much. Threads users will basically have to deliberately interact with Lemmy posts or communities to show up.
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.
In my unbiased opinion you chose a great instance
Lemmee has been great!
I also love that our admin sees defederation as the nuclear option which is what it is
Then it’s the perfect weapon to defend ourselves against Meta.
Exactly
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.
