In the past they had jumpers for the same purpose.

What fediverse services are set up that way? For most projects, the flagship instance is by far the largest. For Mastodon it is something like 900k difference between the next most popular instance.
It’s unfortunate if the sh.itjust.works folks aren’t speaking, their listed rules seem pretty reasonable and the problem users appear to be breaking the rules of that instance too.
Communities have moderators too.
Yeah I think it is. If you go to settings you can change the default (under “Type”).
Not really. Usually you have to request the community vs creating it yourself. Allows the admins to curate.
There’s a good chance your account was activated. I don’t think notifications were going out for a bit.
That’s kind of the point. Reddit still benefits from that content.
Very, I think the only larger “Lemmy-like” instance is lemmy.ml.
Joining is immediate, where some Lemmy instances require manual approval even now.
The main page comes off as more approachable and familiar. They also have a ton of local communities (or “Magazines”) so people can do a lot even without the Federation. I find the Microblog stuff somewhat confusing, I think because it doesn’t have much of a UI built around it so it is less familiar than Mastodon. It is fairly centralized though, in the sense that there aren’t that many kbin instances out there.
The stats page lists users it knows about, including Federated (see also: the People tab).
Local counts can be seen at: https://kbin.social/nodeinfo/2.0 - currently about 22k.
FediDB uses the nodeinfo for its stats gathering, but has a delay.
It is reporting users it knows about, which includes federated servers. The local stats can be seen at https://fedia.io/nodeinfo/2.0, under users.
All on the homepage? Strong disagree on that one, I’d rather subscribed was the default. It doesn’t really matter since it is easy to change it.
If I want to discover new things I can click all myself.
Jerboa is developed by one of those people the mastodon post is talking about.
I don’t think it will keep it from taking off, but I am not sure that all the most popular communities should be on lemmy.ml.
I appreciate that the devs/admins for the most part do encourage dissent.
There was some discussion just before the Reddit influx, actually: https://lemmy.ml/post/1167199
Edit: Also read through the history of Lemmy for some info on the motivations.
I have no problem with the admins of their instance running it however they want, and they made a really cool project and I appreciate that for the most part they do not have a problem with people who disagree with them. I think people should think twice before re-creating all of their favorite reddit subs on that instance though.
Currently kbin is the only one I am aware of.
I doubt they will. They already added a 10 minute limit in airdrop for the “receive from everyone” setting (China first, now worldwide). From a security perspective it’s a good change but it does block the usefulness of airdrop as a tool for mass messaging.
For a while vendors tried to lock down the BIOS pretty hard. Dell might still, I remember having to call and get assistance when a password was forgotten and they had to generate a backdoor key of some sort. Maybe that is less of a thing now that Bitlocker is widely used on corporate laptops and it is sensitive to tampering.
