Seems to me the fear of overloading one instance over another will not happen after all.
But I do hope the Threadiverse can hit 500,000 consistent active users by the end of summer.
Give me that hopium guys! 💉

I think users are jumping over to instances that more fit their personal values. Its why I left lemmy.world and created unilem.org. An instance for no defederation. It might not be for everyone. But i prefer to be able to access everything in one place and do thr moderation/blocking on the user level.
There are many instances that have 50k+ bot accounts because they didn’t protect their sign-ups. Those instances should be defederated by everyone until they get cleaned up.
Not de-federating for political reasons is a personal preference and one that you are free to have, but if you aren’t protecting the fediverse from security risks like bot swarms, you’re doing more harm than good.
There is also defederating for legal reasons.
You may not want to risk someone on your instance subscribing to a community on some other instance that publishes content illegal in your jurisdiction and have your instance keep a copy of it.
This is honestly one of my biggest fears, as an instance owner, because it’s really hard to stay on top of this. Unless you only explicitly federate with known-good instances, the likelihood of this happening is very high.
That’s why strong moderation is so important. These wide-open instances (even lemmy.world is too lax on account and community creation) are a major risk.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !lsbsupport@lemmy.world
Nice! Good bot.
fmhy is really good on that front, they’ve only defederated Lemmygrad and Exploding-Heads.

There are tool to export and import subs and blocks but as far as I’m aware at the moment there is no account transfer utility yet.
There really needs to be some way to… “federate” logins. Associate your identity on one server with another
I suggest creating your own lemmy instance. No one can tell you what to do and you can have your own quality server umlike garbage world.

I’ll do that for a small monthly fee and an identity verification.
You pay me up for the privelege 🤣
Nothing is free
I just decided to host my own private instance. But that might fall apart as the disk space usage grows, lol.
