And that they will federate with them ? (Can’t seem to find it anymore at least)
I wonder how many people we’re gonna lose over this, because I for one, spent time blocking what I wanted to, to curate my feed, and it took time. I already migrated once, I’m not gonna do it again because some people can’t realize how toxic it’s going to be when they federate with us.
I see a lot of people saying they’ll just switch instances but haven’t seen anyone say they’ll just jump ship, am I alone ? Or maybe I’m missing an option that would allow me to transfer all my settings from one instance to another ?

I have switched instances a lot. I don’t like the idea of other people curating my feed.
I made my own instance for this reason.
Is it expensive? Considering doing it myself
I had a spare computer that I installed Linux on a while back, but wasn’t using it for much at the time. If set up like that, all you would pay for is the electricity, which is very low if you’re only running Lemmy, probably only a couple of US dollars a month. You could probably run it on a raspberry pi, tbh.
Personally, I have solar panels that power my whole house. So it’s free for me.
I have considered it.

I’ll leave fediverse, so many instances in the fediverse are still federated with Threads

Threads doesn’t support federation currently, so nobody is federated with Threads at all.
What instance are you on? Voyager doesn’t even show me!
In Voyager, you can toggle showing users’ instances in Settings > Appearance.
Thank you muchly, but I actually have that on! It still doesn’t show their instance, maybe because they’re on the same one as me.
There are probably better instances out there, but I’m on lemmy.dbzer0.com at the moment.
The new 0.19.x version allows you to export and import your basic settings like subscriptions and blocks. I personally haven’t tested it though.
Otherwise, here on lemmy, activity from threads is unlikely to reach us or have too much of an impact as following lemmy communities won’t work well on their end. This presumes that they’ll be focused on implementing microblogging and mastodon compatibility, which are very fair presumptions IMO. Not saying that you shouldn’t care … just that there’s probably much more time than you think. On top of that, Threads’s implementation of federation seems to be going slowly.
I don’t think the world admins really care if users transfer away. That’s just federation in action. Good stuff.

Glad I left World, I want absolutely nothing to do with Threads.
In my unbiased opinion you chose a great instance
Lemmee has been great!
I also love that our admin sees defederation as the nuclear option which is what it is

Then it’s the perfect weapon to defend ourselves against Meta.
Exactly
Threads won’t affect Lemmy that much. Threads users will basically have to deliberately interact with Lemmy posts or communities to show up.
Can’t you block threads.net as a user?
I beleave there are tools to transfer account settings, personally, keep at least 2 lemmy accounts around (we had a DDOS scandle a while back), dont delete your world account just yet. lemm.ee is like what world is/was before filling up with users, else look at the lemmy server browser. Hope you end up somewhere happy, wherever you end up going.
I for one, spent time blocking what I wanted to, to curate my feed, and it took time.
If that is your general approach, why are you suddenly so eager to hand over that responsibility to the instance owner? Why are you pushing for that instances should curate the feeds of all their users, rather than the users themselves?
Join us on lemmy.ml! Small and chill instance. Most people are nice left leaning FOSS geeks, interactions are mostly super nice. The only thing I dislike is the Chappo Trap House community, they will basically bully anyone who’s not a chappo-bro. I blocked them and voilà ! EDIT: Lol, why am I getting downvoted ?
There’s a lot of negatives surrounding moderating on that instance and I’m sure the community you mentioned doesn’t help.
It’s possible in the latest version of Lemmy. World hasn’t upgraded yet. They are also already federated with threads.

That’s impossible because right now Threads doesn’t even support federation.
It does, just only with a few users. Been under rock?

Private pre-alpha tests with a non-public self-hosted (presumably Mastodon) instance doesn’t count. Threads doesn’t federate with the fediverse right now.
So when does it count? It’s federated when you look at Lemmy.world’s federated instances.
Let Lemmy.world die Alone and leave them.
They dont care about ideology or others, they are juste sharky and want to make for them a name on the work of others.I see it like it,
Incidentally, there’s an 8 day old post on the topic that is showing in my instance and I checked the source it wasn’t deleted when I went.
Threads federation really is a tempest in a teacup. People getting worked up over nothing.
Meta’s failed twitter clone probably won’t even federate with the threadiverse. Just look at this post. I see lemmy, I see kbin, I see lotide, I don’t see mastodon, pleroma, friendica, and so on and so forth at all. I don’t see minds (did you know that minds federates?), just a few programs of the same type.
