With the BotDefense team leaving Reddit due to increasing hostility, it sure would be nice if they could find a new home in the Fediverse.

Many people have suggested that the people most likely to leave Reddit because of the recent issues are in that 10% of posters and commentators.

yes, this is my question! i feel like it is creators/participators are the most likely to see the red flags early and do something about it.

i wondered about that too, though people seem to be finding the communities and federation seems to be doing its job. it's nice seeing users from other servers actively participating. only time will tell whether it's sustainable but i think slow and steady growth is a-ok for real community building

you're doing it right now! ๐Ÿ˜€ how does it feel?

a.k.a. the 90โ€“9โ€“1 principle. Does the Fediverse follow this rule, or are there more creators here as early adopters? Are you a creator, a participator or a lurker?

you can have accounts on multiple instances, go ahead and sign up. your info is NOT transferred, so you'll need to re-subscribe to your communities, and your posts stay on the instance you wrote them from.

I started on lemmy.world but am currently writing this from discuss.online, a lemmy instance I found in the greater NYC area because that's where I'm based. It has the same access to all the communities and content that lemmy.world does and because it's nearby and has fewer users it's fast! Signing up and setting up my subscriptions only took a few minutes. I still have a lemmy.world account, but I don't need to use it all the time.

There are many lemmy instances in the world, but currently most people are using lemmy.world. This is why everything has gotten so slow.

You don't have to delete your lemmy.world account, but check out https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/map it's a geo-based map of lemmy instances -- explore stuff nearest you, pick one, sign up, search , subscribe and begin interacting with your favorite communities. It's easy, free and it will be faster. Try it!
