There is an instance like that - lemmit.online. It’s been going for three years and it’s still a ghost town.

You can still choose one that talks to everybody else. In fact, this graphic might be a nice tool for new users who want advice beyond “Just choose any instance, it doesn’t matter” or “Just use lemmy.world”.

This is cool, thanks!

To be Fediverse it has to be from the ActivityPub region of France, otherwise it’s just sparkling federated services.

Neat! What do the different colors mean?

Thanks!

Nice!

It’s unfortunate that there’s no way to see that a community is on a dead instance - lemm.ee communities will still show up in searches, show that they have subscribers, and look exactly like any other community, including letting you create new posts.

FYI if you format the community links like !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world it will link people to the community on their own instance.

Check out !lemmy411@lemmy.ca - you can make a post asking about what kind of content or discussions you’re looking for and people may be able to point you in the right direction.

Some discussion communities I follow that aren’t about a specific topic:

!nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

!asklemmy@lemmy.world

!showerthoughts@lemmy.world

edit: I also know of !casualconversation@piefed.social although I don’t follow it.

Automatic posting from Reddit has been tried before and has been pretty unpopular for the most part. Here’s an old thread with some good discussion about it:

The image sure looks like AI.

Looks like your post didn’t make it to their server.

I wasn’t affected by this directly, but from what I saw it was all handled extremely well - lots of notice so users could choose new instances and mods could coordinate moving communities elsewhere. Makes me optimistic for the fediverse.

The term I’ve heard is Threadiverse (i.e. Fediverse with threaded discussions), but that was coined before Threads launched so it’s a little awkward now.

You could create a community for yourself & post your stuff there. I don’t think there are any rules against this

Mastodon

I’ve been wondering about that - the Misskey numbers are very weird, with MAU even lower than the number of new users that join in an average month. But this is a good explanation, thanks. It’s just too bad there’s not a good way to get MAU for them.

I dunno, I only follow capybarabot.

If you look at monthly active users instead of total users, Pixelfed is a strong 2nd place.
