And that they will federate with them ? (Can’t seem to find it anymore at least)

I wonder how many people we’re gonna lose over this, because I for one, spent time blocking what I wanted to, to curate my feed, and it took time. I already migrated once, I’m not gonna do it again because some people can’t realize how toxic it’s going to be when they federate with us.

I see a lot of people saying they’ll just switch instances but haven’t seen anyone say they’ll just jump ship, am I alone ? Or maybe I’m missing an option that would allow me to transfer all my settings from one instance to another ?

    It’s possible in the latest version of Lemmy. World hasn’t upgraded yet. They are also already federated with threads.

      And as OP seems to be predicting, the world has clearly ended. 😅

      (not that I don’t have plenty issues with Meta, but the way lemmings talk about it only serves to further corporate agenda by essentially making all criticism seem idiotic by association)

        To each their own reasons to care or not about being federated with Threads, it’s not what this post is about.

        My line about how toxic it’s gonna be is my opinion and admittedly might not have its place here in the context, but I’m only a human making a post, wondering if I’m alone or if I’m missing an option for an easy migration.

      That’s impossible because right now Threads doesn’t even support federation.

        It does, just only with a few users. Been under rock?

          Private pre-alpha tests with a non-public self-hosted (presumably Mastodon) instance doesn’t count. Threads doesn’t federate with the fediverse right now.

            So when does it count? It’s federated when you look at Lemmy.world’s federated instances.

                Woopty doo you can’t see a profile yet they’re raking in every thread. Yeah it’s not working properly or correctly. It’s working how they intend it to right now which is one sided.

                  Just like Google, Microsoft Bing, and many others do with all web content as well. Good luck deferating from web crawlers.
