People interested in actual federation would probably never use ATProto anyway

Nice

Nice article

How applicable the concepts of decentralisation and federation are to the ATmosphere is debatable, but they are used as an approximation for the core question: how is power distributed in the network? And Bluesky and the ATmosphere make it clear that technological architecture can only help so much here: Sure, you can be completely independent of Bluesky PBC on the ATmosphere, as everything is open. But in the end, 99% of users are exclusively on infrastructure owned by Bluesky PBC. No technological architecture can compensate for that kind of the power distribution.

Nice, thanks for sharing

There’s a balance to be made. Ultimate defederation is everyone on their own 1-user community.

At the moment, there are plenty of similar communities which coexist, struggling to stay active on their own, and could join just to have more activity. Note that I’m against the current LW-centralization trend, that’s another topic: https://lemm.ee/post/30444527

Example

• [email protected] and [email protected]
• [email protected] and [email protected]

This community now seems to work for some reason, the others still don’t

Nice article. Hopefully other universities follow.

Seems quite active, they release every few weeks.

Fedia.io if you want to have a look

Good to hear!

Good news, well done @[email protected]

Sharkey allows it

can import your exported posts from Mastodon and most of its forks, Pleroma / Akkoma, Misskey / Firefish and forks, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, including attachments (threading may not work perfectly, and other people’s replies to your posts may not get imported)

Thanks for sharing. Reminds me of a few memes on [email protected] with their fake federation

@[email protected] , @[email protected] , how are you guys doing over there?

Very proactive admins, they regularly publish this kind of reports: https://lemmy.zip/post/25516571?scrollToComments=true

Good uptime: https://status.lemmy.zip/status/lemmy

Alternative front ends

• m.lemmy.zip - Our Mobile/Tablet site
• old.lemmy.zip - A familiar desktop experience!
• a.lemmy.zip - A desktop-first UI
• t.lemmy.zip - An alternative Mobile/Tablet UI with lots of features!

High number of active users (491 per month)

with lots of empty zones of nothingness.

Indeed. Trying to solve this with [email protected], but it takes time

I agree with you, but not sure if that’s what the person above meant.

But yeah, centralization should happen. We could probably close 95% of the existing communities and regroup on the last 5%

[email protected] for instance covers most of the needs for that sport

Look at the other threads in this community

Subscription list, blocking list (users, communities and instances). Could be other stuff too, but that’s the most important when migrating

Thanks, I wasn’t aware. Microblogs seems to be easier to manage than threads, so it might be more difficult for Lemmy

You can achieve that by adding a link to your old profile from the new and vice versa.

To my knowledge, this is not possible at the moment.

Indeed, and probably never going to happen. Even Mastodon do not support actual migration, they just add a redirection to your new profile from the old and vice versa.
