They can also get that data without doing anything because any data they’d get from federating is already public.

Protect your children and say no to Threads

No, that’s not how it works at all. All of your public posts are already public anyway, Threads doesn’t need to be involved for literally anyone to go through all of your posts right now.

reimplementing the entire game in a new engine is economically unfeasible
This is equivalent to literally making the game from scratch and changing some art assets is no where near as complex and time-consuming as that would be.

Street Fighter 6: The arrival of Rashid with a new Fighting Pass
I appreciate you regularly posting to the community, but I really think it’s important that you include sources when you do. Otherwise it’s just you kinda saying stuff that people then have to go and look to see if it’s actually verifiable.

Nah, nearly 90% of mobile users interact with Reddit via the official app (most people use Reddit on mobile devices).

Will this instance be joining the fedipact?
I’m curious what the downside of being federated with an Instance run by Meta is? By federating with the network, Meta won’t miraculously gain some authoritarian control over the entire thing. In fact federating with Meta may well provide the largest opportunity ever to bring new users over to sites like Lemmy and Mastodon by way of exposing them to the potential perks of those sites over Thread.

[Meta] Esports content in the main League community

Definitely agree that the community is far too small and content too limited at the moment to justify maintaining two separate communities.

ysk - your account doesn't exist on other instances and communities don't overlap

You can choose to show “Subscribed” communities—only the ones you’ve chosen, “Local” communities—only the ones on Lemmy.World, or “All”—which will pull from all the communities federated with Lemmy.World.
So to answer the question, posts from outside your home instance will show up in your feed, should you choose for them to.

Diablo IV | Season of the Malignant | Announce Trailer
Reply in thread
The upcoming season is adding a new “gem” type very similar to Diablo 3 legendary gems that will (presumably) result in more robust endgame builds. They also mentioned a new boss being added, though I’m not sure what level/World Tier it will be at.

It reads like a whole new game to me, in the best of ways. It’s the first new content that feels like it’s taking into account current design sensibilities while still retaining the core values of OSRS.

The last post is Thelain saying that the forums aren’t very accessible for them and asking if Discord is an option, so I imagine they moved the conversation there.

But the nature of the federated platforms is that they will always be able to have new instance created that can still access the content of the largest, without explicitly needing that community to move over.

So the threat is Meta offering a better service that draws a user base? Is that flexibility not the entire thesis of fediverse platforms?
Further, if Meta is able to provide a service that users see as so fundamentally better, then they should get a large portion of the population. That’s the nature of a competitive market.

Will Meta scrape and crawl through all our data now?
Reply in thread
Short answer is “no.”
Slightly longer answer is: “all of your public posts on Lemmy or Mastodon or any other federated platform are the Public web. So no, it’s not different.”

Seeing as the vast, vast majority of mobile users are using the official app, it really doesn’t suck that much for them. I wish it wasn’t the case, but it is.
