• Bluesky has publicly launched (no invite required)

  The account portability is probably the biggest problem with the fediverse right now. I finally signed up for Mastodon despite reading little to nothing positive about it on hn. It was easy to use, and the signal to noise ratio was vastly improved from my Twitter experience. However, that lack of account portability means users can, have, and will continue to get cut off.

• Threads Wants to Join the Fediverse, But Some Mastodon Users Say No Way

  Would meta even care? Lemmy is like 3% of the fediverse Https://fedidb.org/. Source: 10 months ago

• Threads Is Now Live

  Any stability issues on mastodon.social are noteworthy, but it's important to recognize that it only represents 1,370,000/9,930,000 = 13% of total users, and 387,000/1,790,000 = 21% of Monthly active users. If you don't use Mastodon, it might be easy to assume that the experience would be filled with blackouts or technical issues, but that's not true, if you pick a good instance.

• Lemmy has now reached a user base of 600,000

  If you're still decided to use Lemmy to browse Lemmy or use Kbin to browse Kbin (see 1), use any of the following lists to choose a server (basically a full website): 1 (Lemmy only), 2 (both kbin and Lemmy, just take your pick), 3 (still both, but the least user-friendly). Source: 11 months ago
