60% of Lemmy-instances blocks Threads.net

Based on data from https://fedipact.veganism.social/ it seems that the majority of instances blocks threads.net. I'm sure there's Lemmy instances with either approach that have slipped through the cracks as the list is a work in progress.

The percentage of users doesn't correlate to instances as the biggest instance on the Lemmyverse has roughly 3x the users of the second largest, a NSFW instance, 4x the users of the biggest "niché" instance and 5x the users of what I see as the second largest general purpose instance.

Someone posted this in another thread and the stats are genuinely misleading here. All the super large instances are federating with Meta, with like 90% of the users.

I'd be happy to update it with more correct information if you can find more accurate numbers.

From https://fedipact.veganism.social/ the largest instances in order of active users are:

  1. Lemmy.world - Federates
  2. LemmyNSFW.com - Blocks
  3. Lemmy-ml - Blocks
  4. Lemm.ee - Blocks
  5. programming.dev - Federates.

They are probably mean including mastodon, which is larger and generally federates with threads

It's interesting that Mastodon instances are trending in the opposite direction of Lemmy instances. Most are staying federated with Threads. I wonder if that's simply indicative of the strong anti-corporate culture on Lemmy, or if there's more to it.

Maybe that and the creator of Mastodon actively rolling out the red carpet for Zuck

Yep. Meta's convinced him that this is a huge victory for Mastodon -- and a good way for him to achieve his goal of getting Mastodon to 100,000,000 users.

It's also interesting that nobody's asking "how is Threads federating with Mastodon/Lemmy?" All the focus is on the underdog but shouldn't we pull our heads out of the bubble and give some attention to what the big dog is doing?

They're probably using ActivityPub?

They're just stupid.

BiggestBulb@kbin.social · 6 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Is kbin.social still going to federate?

Chozo@kbin.social · -3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I hope so. Preemptive defederation is a stupid idea.

davel@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 2y

First as tragedy, then as farce kbin.social

Amelia@transfem.space · 6 pts · 2y

And mine is one of them

With how bad Lemmy federates across other platforms, even those still federating won’t be seen on Threads lol
