Lemmy seems less active than during the Reddit protests? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

As a major example that comes to mind, all of the technology communities

I've blocked most of them a while ago. Still seems strange that there is no AI enthusiast community somewhere, that should definitely exist

Is there any reason why there is no large generalist Lemmy instance managed from the USA? Is this just a coincidence? in c/[email protected]

In the current context, seems like [email protected] is the way to go

The instance bans seem to happen quite often https://lemmy.world/post/16211417

Lemmy admins can already see who downvotes what, I'm sure they already ban accounts who systematically downvote their communities content

It's a tool. If some admins power trip, well report them on [email protected]

Maybe that’s another reason why folks thing it’s US-based - because the magazines are clearly so US oriented. But I’m not sure how that happened.

Probably people creating the community soon after the instance creation

With a tld ending like .world you’d think it’s for the whole world, not just europe (.eu) or a specific country.

Indeed. It always surprises me that [email protected] is specifically US-only. Why not [email protected]?

Thinking about this lately, especially in the context of the UD elections getting discussed a lot all over Lemmy.

If you look at the top 20 instances https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy

  • Lemmy.world and feddit.nl are Dutch
  • Lemm.ee is Estonian
  • Feddit.org, discuss.tchncs.de are German
  • SJW and lemmy.ca are Canadian
  • Lemmy.blahaj.zone, aussie.zone and Reddthat are Australian
  • sopuli.xyz is Finnish
  • slrpnk.net is Portuguese
  • lemmy.dbzer0, infosec.pub, mander.xyz, programming.dev, lemmy.sdf.org are thematic
  • Beehaw is USA-based, but defederated from LW and SJW and still on 0.18.3, so not sure they're even that interested in Lemmy anymore

Out of the top 20, there is Midwest.social and Lemmy.today but they are quite small (326 and 201 monthly active users).

On the other hand, a lot of other countries have their own instances

  • feddit.uk
  • jlai.lu
  • feddit.dk
  • szmer.info
  • lemmy.eco.br
  • feddit.cl
  • feddit.it

With the USA population and the Internet presence of the USA citizens, you would expect at least one large generalist instance based in the USA, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Any ideas what the reasons might be? Is this just a coincidence?

Edit: for Lemmy.world:

The website and the agreement will be governed by and construed per the laws of the following countries and/or states:

  • The Netherlands
  • Republic of Finland
  • Federal Republic of Germany

Hello everyone,

There seems to be some federation delay between lemm.ee and lemmy.ml: https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/bdid38k9p0t1cf/federation-health-single-instance-overview?orgId=1&var-instance=lemm.ee&var-remote_instance=lemmy.ml

There is now a more than 5 days delay between the two instances

@[email protected] FYI

Opposite to the last thread, let's see where to send people now that communities like [email protected] have temporary rules preventing discussing about US politics

Just tried to register an account for Loops (there are 1000 videos available according to the fediverse report), no email received so far, have other people encountered the same issue? (fediversereport.com)
 

Loops.video, the short-form video platform has finally launched, after weeks of delays. There is now an iOS app on TestFlight available, as well as an Android APK, and it there is no waitlist anymore. In some statistics shared by Loops developed Daniel Supernault, Loops now has more than 8000 people signed up and close to a 1000 videos posted.
