domination is inevitable
(lemmy.world)
EDIT: we just crossed 30K ๐ฅณ
We are now at 28.5K users (see https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list). The top 10 instances also got a decent boost in user count. With the exception of beehaw.org which defederated, the Fediverse is thriving ๐ฅ
What does it mean that beehaw.ord is defederated?
Everything on Kbin and Lemmy is "federated"
This is basically just a fancy word to say "no matter what server you're on, we can all talk to each other".
It's kind of like E-Mail where no matter if you use GMail or Outlook, you can talk to your friends and colleagues.
When a server defederates from another server, It's like a two-way block.
People on (in this case) beehaw won't see threads, magazines and replies from Lemmy.world and sh.it just.works and people from Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works won't see threads, magazines and replies from beehaw.org
Server/Instance admins usually do this when there are instances which spread unwished for content.
This is also why on my profile, there's a link (forum.fail). It's part of my identifier here on the Fediverse (@TGRush@forum.fail).
