The idea is cool with all the apps interconnecting, but where do I go to actually see this in practice. Does the cross communication only work on platforms like Mbin/piefed, or am I not seeing something.
I keep hearing thanks to activity pub posts here can be seen and replied to from elsewhere, but I haven’t seen it.
So I know there’s some drama with lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. I’m passingly familiar with the .ml stuff (that they have a large and vocal population of tankies and red-fash types), but what’s the deal with lemmy.world?
It is in my opinion too big to join now as a new user, I think there are some issues with moderation also.
Fediverse needs to scale horizontally so it is bad idea to join the largest server.
Afaik they’re basically banning whoever and whenever they please
That is probably true for all instances
In a sense, yes. But many people disagree specifically with what and why .world is banning.
LW’s user base accounts for about 36.4% (as of writing this) of all Lemmy users (spread across approximately 570 instances according to FediDB), which is too large.
Iirc the biggest complaint has been that community mods inside .world had some affinities or apologia towards Israel’s war crimes
