With our growth numbers and with kbin finally with Lemmy again, things around the link aggregator fediverse feel more active than ever. Today when browsing all on Jerboa I saw so many more communities, posts, and comments than even yesterday. It’s starting to feel like we have some real traction going on here. Let me know if you agree or disagree.

Edit: fixed swypos

    I agree, but I really wish Beehaw had not defederated with the other two most popular instances. I understand why they did, but man fracturing this early sucks

      The main mastodon instance got defederated by many other instances in the early days, but when they added more mod tools they were welcomed back in and they’re going strong to this day. Here’s hoping

        My understanding is that this is the plan - the only reason for defederation is because that is the only tool available at this time, and the admins for Beehaw find it most important to continue pursuing their goal to form a community rather than replacing Reddit or growing for the sake of growth.

      Agreed. I have an account on lemmy.world, but I enjoy the community and interaction with the posts on beehaw. One user made a post saying that the defederation hurt Beehaw more than the other instances, but Beehaw has a lot of strong, active communities that the other instances don’t have.
