Honestly, I don’t see how this is a threat to “small” instances. Why would Meta target defederation with some dude’s 5 user instance that barely registers on anyone’s radar?
The Spire sleeps… and so do I.
From the Act:
- "Social media company" means a person or entity that provides a social media platform that has at least five million account holders worldwide and is an interactive computer service.
So it’s a nonissue.
Also, is there formatting on here? I just defaulted to my old habit of > for quote text.
Never thought fediverse would be into day old reposts about meta beans this quick, but here we are.
There are a bunch already… Wefwef is really good
“Orgies.”
This was one of the top instances recommended on join-lemmy, and it couldn’t find top communities from lemmyverse. Out of curiosity, I poked my head back to the instance a second ago, and I see users asking the server owner about it.
Maybe my experience is rare, but if the instance you choose is going to have a material effect on what instances and communities you can interact with, that’s essential info to choosing a home.
- Low user numbers
- High uptime percentage
- Little to no blocked servers and communities
- Allows user created communities
Beyond that, I personally don’t care.
Searching for specific communities and they aren’t present on the server.
Which is a problem. The onboarding for the fediverse - especially choosing a lemmy instance if that is the direction you want - is way too obtuse right now. Instances are definitely not all equal, and the icon and description are the least useful data points to rely upon.
Yeah I’m not sure what the algorithm is taking into account in deciding “hot.” Seems it is “recent views but only because the formula fed this old stuff to the last few rounds, too.”

I mean, isn’t that good? Small instances thrive because they run faster without the overload of a bunch of users. I don’t want every asshole from Instagram on the instance I’m on.
