In Social media, it’s #31. Sorry. My bad. But still. It’s going to get even higher once the instances stabilize in performance.

No really, it is #31. At least in my Apple App store?

Wow… I mean, I feel like creating 15 users across many instances and just using them at random. I dont want that kind of insight available. Though I probably already gave all that on Reddit. You’re welcome AI!!

#31 in App Store. That means Lemmy is going places. Holy shit! (and as I understand, this comment would be fully harvestable by admins)

This! Reuse as much as possible.

So other instances outside the instance your user exist on, has access to this? Which means everyone, as anyone can create an instance?

Could an instance be hosted inside an app? In a container locally on your own machine? Maybe the two could be synced? One instance across all your devices synced?

That would be the safest?

So is there a way to search across instances?

Seriously, this will distance google from usefulness even further. Chatbots already at the jugular of google right now.

Can the big AI companies crawl and harvest lemmy and fediverse?

They probably have a free choice to review who can join, which blocks the federated part that allows a federated user to log in?

It could be different since it’s decentralized

It also feels faster when loading, though slower when you enter a post or save a comment.

I read a bit about it here. It seems like a much better model than Reddit. It looks like each instance is controlled by the instance creator, who also supplies the hardware. But it is much more free and open. The only controllers I see are the ones hosting the instances, however it is easy to move from one instance to another, same for content.

I tried to log in to behaw and others with my lemmy.world user but the login just works for a very long time and nothing happens. I dont know.

I too am here because Reddit can eat a fat one. However I dont know who is behind this, e.g. who I am sharing my data with and how that works…

wefwef.app makes the shift extremely easy.

I plan on using Lemmy exclusively for a period of time. Especially when Reddit lists on the stock exchange mid 2023. I then also will delete my very old Reddit account.

About defederation and mitigation, if one instance was fucked by the… owner (who owns an instance? is it like, someone hosts the instance on their server?) then the subs/communities would have to be rebuilt again, the posts wouldn’t migrate etc.

I mean, on Reddit there’s just be subreddits which would be equivalent of communities. I just don’t get what instances are for then.

What is an instance? Is everything not on one server? If not, then how is it all aggregated?

Wheres the Dark mode at?
