Based on data from https://fedipact.veganism.social/ it seems that the majority of instances blocks threads.net. I’m sure there’s Lemmy instances with either approach that have slipped through the cracks as the list is a work in progress.
The percentage of users doesn’t correlate to instances as the biggest instance on the Lemmyverse has roughly 3x the users of the second largest, a NSFW instance, 4x the users of the biggest “niché” instance and 5x the users of what I see as the second largest general purpose instance.
1984 ( @1984@lemmy.today ) 16•6 months agoSomeone posted this in another thread and the stats are genuinely misleading here. All the super large instances are federating with Meta, with like 90% of the users.
I’d be happy to update it with more correct information if you can find more accurate numbers.
From https://fedipact.veganism.social/ the largest instances in order of active users are:
- Lemmy.world - Federates
- LemmyNSFW.com - Blocks
- Lemmy-ml - Blocks
- Lemm.ee - Blocks
- programming.dev - Federates.

BioDriver ( @BioDriver@beehaw.org ) English8•6 months agoOOTL - why is everyone blocking threads.net?
It’s owned by Meta, the company that runs Facebook. If you’re still unsure about the situation perhaps this can help out: https://erinkissane.com/untangling-threads
lemmyvore ( @lemmyvore@feddit.nl ) English26•6 months agoAnd the crux of the matter:
Less emotionally, I think it’s unwise to assume that an organization that has…
- demonstrably and continuously made antisocial and sometimes deadly choices on behalf of billions of human beings and
- allowed its products to be weaponized by covert state-level operations behind multiple genocides and hundreds (thousands? tens of thousands?) of smaller persecutions, all while
- ducking meaningful oversight,
- lying about what they do and know, and
- treating their core extraction machines as fait-accompli inevitabilities that mustn’t be governed except in patently ineffective ways…
…will be a good citizen after adopting a new, interoperable technical structure.
pistachio ( @pistachio@lemmy.ml ) 6•6 months agoThis is the way i see the situation:
Letting meta join the fediverse means they will captivate the general audience and the fediverse will stop growing. Realizing this, it could lead a lot of contributors to the lemmy/mastodon/activitypub projects lose interest, which will slow down development and could eventually lead to the death of the fediverse project.
This is how it goes:
People get accustomed to all the content from Meta/Threads
Meta adds extra features to their website which do not work with other fediverse instances
People switch from lemmy/mastodon to threads or join threads directly and never ever consider joining the real fediverse.
The fediverse project either dies down or remains a niche project forever.
garrett ( @garrett@infosec.pub ) English4•6 months agoWith how bad Lemmy federates across other platforms, even those still federating won’t be seen on Threads lol
BiggestBulb ( @BiggestBulb@kbin.social ) 3•6 months agoIs kbin.social still going to federate?
Chozo ( @Chozo@kbin.social ) 12•6 months agoI hope so. Preemptive defederation is a stupid idea.
