Just wanted to say thanks for telling me this! Solved my issue and I wouldn’t have thought of it straight away at all.

Glad you said this. People demanding large instances like this one defederate from stuff they don’t personally like are, frankly, very mislead and trying to be little dictators. That’s not their decision to make.

Threads does not really want or care about our tiny userbase. They want the normies and they want to OWN most of the marketshare of this protocol

Building history one update at a time 😎

I think I have 20k

Potentially worded a bit abrasively but…kinda yeah. They rely so heavily on fomo, gacha, and other skinner box tricks to keep you playing other than FUN. Just remember what happened to Titanfall 2: "ohhh it was SO FUN it just didn’t have the events and grinding and stuff I wanted >:( "

Ah, a shame but reasonable. Worth a test :D

I want to see them try!

Good luck doing that for 8000 subs

I really appreciate what you’re doing, but I’m worried how this instance will continue scaling. What happens when it gets to 1 million users? 10 million? We can scale vertically only somewhat, but horizontal scaling seems to be limited to “just join a new instance 4head” and that just…doesn’t have a good experience.

I am still furiously trying to upvote you but alas, the server will not let me >:(

There’s some massive UI onboarding issues, but the community here is wayyyy better than reddit imo. Without a framework of understanding, it’s hard to figure out what server to join, how subscriptions work across instances, etc. My current understanding is if I like lemmy.world the most, I am just going to search communities from other instances I like and subscribe to it on my profile here. At least, that’s what I’ve been doing.
