Context

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

Its possible to convince me to move to another instance if anybody can recommend one with the following:

Anti-Tankie sentiment/rules/regulation (fuck those fake communists flooding the feed with spam 24/7)
Fairly active community
General use instance, not one with a specific agenda

But otherwise I guess I'd probably just stop using lemmy altogether when threads hits World.

PieFed.social, Mbin, or use one of Sync or Connect that can actually block tankie users - Lemmy's "block" doesn't block hardly anything at all, as you still see them, they can downvote you, generate notifications, etc. Read more here.

You may also want to block certain news and political communities in favor of better ones that are not so filled with toxicity and misinformation regardless of whether the content comes from certain instances.

So if Meta continues to share defederated without acknowledgement from the source, wouldn’t that just put lemmy and mastodan on top?

Dang it I was on lemmy.wtf and that one has been down for days now. Now you’re telling me this one will get flooded with “tweets”? Do I have to pack up my shit again? We’ll see how bad it will get.

Edit: it’s up again. It is too unreliable though.

I've been here a year and I still don't get how lemmy works. lol

Apparently I'm on the world one. No idea what impact that has, I just remember it being the easiest to join

A great reminder, that I will never understand how this site works. Isn't lemmy.world like the main page? That's what shows up on my Sync app.

[–] fjordbasa@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Lemmy.world is one of many lemmy instances. Any Lemmy instance will show posts on their “all” page from instances they’re federated with. Generally, you can subscribe to and comment in federated communities.

Depending on your viewer/app, you’ll see the instance following an @ sign. For example, username johndoe1234@sh.itjust.works means that account is on the sh.itjust.works instance. Similar for communities.

May have missed some finer points but that’s generally how it works.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

It's the biggest instance, and the one you signed* up at, so in essence, for you it is. However the content you see there will be made up of not only users and communities from Lemmy.world but also from all the instance they're federated with. I'm registered elsewhere but you'll still get this reply.

Edit: i.e. I also use Sync but it says sh.itjust.works

Wat?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.cafe 8 points 15 hours ago

I tried to provide some context in the OP, what questions do you have?
