Choosing a server is often the hardest step. That’s why you should send the signup page of your fav instance to your friends and not the official lemmy page.

ActivityPub have supports for multiple type of objects, and actions on those objects. Like liking (or upvoting) a post.
But beside that, it’s just about the same. You can absolutely build a functioning bridge that would translate emails into ActivityPub and then subscribe to it from Lemmy instance. There are a lot of bridges (XMPP, Twitter mirrors, Nostr, etc.)
@MicroWave
There is a huge bot issue right now (started 3 days ago). All the numbers are worthless.
It’s a known issue, all admins should add captcha to the subscription page, delete the bots and re-compute the actual number of users. Unless we do that, we won’t have a correct number.
We can still look at the Monthly Active Users. Bots don’t post (yet)

Enfin, c’est aussi un moyen de récupérer les 300M utilisateurs de Twitter (les 1.4M d’utilisateurs de mastodon ça les intéresse probablement pas).
@gumchain @Bilbo_Hobbit
Pour moi l’intérêt principal, c’est d’esquiver les loi anti-monopoles et de se préparer à l’EU Digital Markets Act qui impose “l’interopérabilité” aux géants du numérique. On parle surtout des chats instantannés, mais ça pourrait aussi concerner les réseaux sociaux.
L’autre intérêt c’est que les réseaux sociaux ont une date d’expiration. Facebook se fait ringardiser par insta qui se fait ringardiser par tiktok, donc c’est normal d’expérimenter de nouvelles choses

Another con: You become an admin/moderator and have to keep up to date with the latest bad servers to defederate from and you’ll have to deal with all kind of bad posts yourself instead of relying on a moderation team.
@MicroWave
Yes, when your server is getting swarmed in spam, you first fediblock (or at least limit, when limit is supported like on mastodon).
Then you ask the admin of the instance what’s going on. You can also help them clean up the bots.
Then you can federate again once you’re 100% sure the bots are gone.
When the number of bots is high compared to the number of users, that’s even more reasons to block fast
@2014MU69 @MicroWave
Lemmy’s first big bot campaign, yay.
Bots only target successful platforms and mastodon has survived many bot campaigns, so I’m not too worried by this. But let’s give a hug to our admins. When all those accounts start spamming, they’ll need to do a lot of mitigation. Especially if the bots come from many different domains. (and also because lemmy moderation tools are not great)

We can have both generic instances and instances around a particular topic.
We already have a few lemmy dedicated to a particular community like latte.isnot.coffee and startrek.website
@chocolatine
Ça dépend de ce que l’on attend de lemmy. Si l’objectif c’est de dépasser Reddit en nombre d’utilisateurs/post par minute ou n’importe quelle autre métrique. Non j’y crois pas du tout
Si l’objectif c’est de passer un cap critique qui permet au réseau d’être utilisable et utile. Alors oui c’est tout à fait possible. Mastodon l’a fait et c’est plus dur de réseauter un twitter-like qu’un reddit-like. Même une commu reddit de 10 personnes peut être cool, twitter est censé être mondial
@fediverse @Perfide @MoogleMaestro
The staff of automatic have confirmed multiple times on Twitter and Mastodon that they’re working on this for both Tumblr and wordpress. And many people offered their help, including the co-inventor of ActivityPub.
This IS happening. I don’t know when, but it’s coming.
