Threads has begun connecting to the fediverse.

    Threads federation is mostly targeted towards Mastodon than Lemmy, so I highly doubt it will make much of a difference whether any Lemmy instance federates or not, since Lemmy is purely group based and does not federate well with even Mastodon to begin with as there is a huge difference in design philosophy. (Which means I can stay under the radar a bit longer.)

    However, I don’t think Facebook will stop at Threads, they are using Threads as a preliminary test, and if it goes well, I think the next step they could do is to get Instagram itself to federate.

    So here is a thought: suppose reddit or Instagram are open to federation, would you say federating with them and getting all their content will be worth it?

        Seconded, I’ll leave the fediverse if that happens. I want nothing to do with those sociopathic corporations.

          And this is why lemmy will never overtake reddit. Literally the satanic panic, because some users might be posting on some other platform.

            It’s not a competition, quality over quantity. I don’t want anything to do with corporate social media, it’s a disease.

              Except lemmy isn’t some “high quality social media”. It’s the same thing, with users that act the same.

                It has much less corporate influence and the user base is self-selecting for people who give a shit enough to seek that out.
