No, jerboa isn’t filtering anything. They mean they don’t have access to some beehaw communities because beehaw isn’t federating with Lemmy.world.

I don’t know why they are saying this though considering they are in the programming.dev instance

I have been on Lemmy for a couple of years and I am very happy about the influx.

I think Lemmy (and kbin) have a lot of potential and just need more attention from users, mods, developers and other organizations;

• There are a lot of private forums and comment sections for News/review/blog websites. Theoretically they could have comments on articles federated and made available on Lemmy/Mastodon.
• The markdown format seems somehow better than reddit and we are starting to see really high quality posts like this one
• hopefully some more integration with mastodon happens so that lemmy users could comment on someone’s mastodon post or something similar.

There was talk of someone populating a Lemmy instance with reddit data.

There is a lot of reddit data on a torrent somewhere aparrently.

ahhh thank you!

@derivator@feddit.de is the creator I believe.

not sure if that is the right way to @ some so here is their profile:https://feddit.de/u/derivator)

I don’t really think Lemmy.ml will have very good retention of new users. Because:

1. New users will mostly come from reddit or mastodon.
2. Most users of reddit and mastodon willing to leave are anti corporate, anti authoritarian, anti-war, pro human rights.
3. A lot of posts that you see on Lemmy (either from Lemmy.ml or lemmygrad) are pro-russia, pro china or anti-western to the point of being really annoying. Its not fun to talk to people without a hint of nuance.

So it is not surprising that new users will get turned off by this and leave (or move to beehaw).

They have decided not to contest’ this territory, it’s very simple 😂
