  • Both Iceshrimp and Sharkey should have better compatibility with Mastodon clients

  • The average user doesn’t know or care about the “perks” of non-Facebook Mastodon instances that Eugene is talking about. They will go with the service with the most name recognition every time, rather than trust an independent, small-time instance operator.

    Threads advertises itself as "interoperable with the Fediverse", which will fuel curiosity in some users. And Mastodon isn't only small-time operated instances. Creators of Vivaldi web browser created their Mastodon instance and bundle it with their browser account. Mozilla is preparing to do the same. Medium and Flipboard are another examples.

    And of course, we have official instances of Mastodon, Pixelfed or e.g. /kbin.

  • Lemmy is not able to disturb Mastodon as much as other microblogging instances.

  • Nobody on a Lemmy instance is able to follow accounts (like on Mastodon or /kbin). Thus, Lemmy will not fetch anything from Mastodon unless written specifically to a threadiverse community (and the community being CCed). Because of this, Lemmy instance are less harmful, than (potentially) any microblogging server (be it Mastodon, Pleroma, Soapbox, key, etc.)

  • Gab federates no more.

  • None of these instances are Lemmy (or anything other on threadiverse)

  • For China:

    • TikTok is called there Douyin
    • WeChat
    • microblogging is mainly done on Sina Weibo
    • Baidu Baike (by Baidu search engine) is counterpart of Reddit?
  • Not actually the region you asked about, but wykop.pl is actually larger in Poland, than Reddit.

  • Mastodon, PeerTube, Mobilizon, WriteFreely

  • An instance admin can enable login to PeerTube via specific Mastodon instance. This is all we have.

  • There can be only one per post?

    That is a magazine (like on /kbin), not a hashtag!
