In Social media, it's #31. Sorry. My bad. But still. It's going to get even higher once the instances stabilize in performance.
No really, it is #31. At least in my Apple App store?
Wow... I mean, I feel like creating 15 users across many instances and just using them at random. I dont want that kind of insight available. Though I probably already gave all that on Reddit. You're welcome AI!!
#31 in App Store. That means Lemmy is going places. Holy shit! (and as I understand, this comment would be fully harvestable by admins)
So other instances outside the instance your user exist on, has access to this? Which means everyone, as anyone can create an instance?
And how exactly do they gatekeep and what do they gatekeep?
Do you have links to proof?
Could an instance be hosted inside an app? In a container locally on your own machine? Maybe the two could be synced? One instance across all your devices synced?
That would be the safest?
So is there a way to search across instances?
Seriously, this will distance google from usefulness even further. Chatbots already at the jugular of google right now.
Can the big AI companies crawl and harvest lemmy and fediverse?
But you could join whatever server you want, and you'd have access and be able to communicate with any instance?
So what has to remain is certainty that your user credentials won't be stolen and that the uptime is good.
As I wrote in another post, maybe the better alternative is to encapsulate your own instance and sync across your devices. Encapsulate it in a device agnostic container.
Your user would be your own. It would always be up?
Maybe this would also help alleviate the traffic, since these servers (for now without commercialization) are running off of people's good will.

Reading some of the comments here and also pondering the last half day - how much does it require to host an instance yourself?
Doing that: You are almost certain not to have your user data at risk? The server would always be up.
Could an instance not be hosted across devices? Encapsulated by a container that is synced to your other devices?
Best instance to create your user on?
There's been some downtime on Lemmy.World. I think this wont be the last time, as the amount of users coming in during the next month will be ginormous. That's completely fine with me.
However, during that time, I couldn't use the Fediverse because my access to the Fediverse comtes through logging in through my Lemmy.World user. (please correct me if I'm mistaken...)
So I get that Fediverse is decentralized. Anyone can create their own instances.
Which is the most reliable? Only time will tell? Or will this be made differently in the future?
"Please clear your browser cache if you have issues logging in etc., the site was upgraded."
This what I see when I try to access Lemmy.World. I did clear my cache since forever.
When I enter my credentials and log in, user/pass fields are just cleared.
What gives?
(I'm writing this from wefwef.app in my PC browser, which worked after clicking settings\upgrade)
They probably have a free choice to review who can join, which blocks the federated part that allows a federated user to log in?
It could be different since it’s decentralized
It also feels faster when loading, though slower when you enter a post or save a comment.
The more I read about the Fediverse, the more I try to relate it to Reddit. I guess the Fediverse is like Reddit, but each subreddit is self-hosted. And you can subscribe to all the self-hosted subreddits that you want, from within the subreddit you created your user in.
