Liftoff

I became more active here because I don’t feel like I’m contributing to a corporation. This is an open source software run by people who are just doing it because they like doing it.

Lemmy is an open source software that anyone can run on their own computers. People can’t run their own reddit because its source code is closed. When a person runs lemmy on their server (computer), it has its own domain name (like google.com). Each domain name is a different instance, like lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works. These different instances can talk to each other and exchange posts and comments. This is called federation. This means you can create an account on lemmy.world and post comments and posts on sh.itjust.works. There are over 1000 instances. They can all talk to each other unless they choose not to. When an instance decides to block another instance, it is called defederation. Each instance is its own seperate thing and instances talk to each other in the background. Your account data is only stored on the instance you signed up on.

I ask the question, “Why do we exist?”

I don’t think so. It will have all comments including comments from Meta.

You will see all comments on “misguided.ml”

The only good move is to leave

it is, indeed!

Selfhost everything

I think it’s a combination of things. There are real users who have migrated to Lemmy because of reddit’s horrible treatment of its users and there are also bots being created but that’s normal on the internet.

Because beehaw will block sync attempts from lemmy.world. Users can’t directly connect to other instances. The instance they’re on connects with other instances and fetches data in the background.

It will also make more people aware of lemmy
