For anyone wondering if Threads and Facebook at large will be a fine neighbor in the space and compatible with other apps/services in the fediverse: they’re already automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112126250737482807

Well, for non-German speaking europeans it makes sense, last time I checked .world was the only decently-sized English-speaking server in my area.

EDIT: well, apparently that’s no longer the case, good to be wrong I guess

    decently-sized

    Why does this matter? You can see everything on lemmy.world even if you come from a small instance. Size is not necessarily a benefit here.

    A small instance has a higher probability of the owner stopping maintaining it. Obviously this doesn’t apply if the instance is yours, but I’m not tech-savvy enough to do that.

    You actually raise a good point: People may not join a smaller instance if you're not confident it's going to hang around.

    I might see if I can publish a contingency/continuity plan in our next community update.

    Lots of instances are hosted in Europe, maybe even the majority. I know lemm.ee and lemmy.ml are

    Lemm.ee still shows up as “private” in the Observer, but I don’t know how I missed .ml being in France (I really doubt they somehow “ moved” the server). Checking again you’re right though, the situation got a lot better over time.
