I may post/reply/boost in:

(or close languages)
I also may boost posts I make with alts, but I’m mainly here so that should be rare.
Also I don’t think I’ve seen Pleroma devs in the wild before, and users I also don’t generally see, so going by the premise of what you said, @srasmus@slrpnk.net.
And the fediverse can be quite diverse, and so long as the software licenses are respected, there’s not much devs or external instances can interfere legitimately.
If you mean “people that use Pleroma”, it’s not the end of the world. You just need to block or avoid people that flock to a given instance, or do that for the instances themselves.
If you mean the devs, maybe keep an archived fork of the software being used, and use that if they start causing problems that damage the quality of the software, and move to that build while you refactor your instance.
In my case, as I’m mainly on Mbin, when I get to host my own instances (life got in the way when I tried…), I’d probably make, besides the new Mbin instance:
Personally, I’d pick Mbin, Friendica or PieFed.
I can observe two main types of social media style in the fediverse, microblogging-styled (e.g. Twitter-inspired), or group-styled (e.g. Reddit / BBS-inspired).
The rest’s usually variations of these two, or are interoperable to varying degrees with these main types.
And Mbin, Friendica and PieFed all explicitly try to integrate groups and microblogging, meaning they’d be the more overarching ones.
And sure, one solution always means sacrificing another, so alts may still be needed.
And on Pleroma’s case, it would seem it supports communities but only partially? I wonder if it’s like Mastodon. If so, your feed can become noisy.
Additionally, helping monetarily the instances you use should translate to more resources to service upkeep and upgrades.
Agreed. Better contact them to be sure, before escalating or even going for nuclear options. At worst, if it’s causing problems, a temporary defederation as contingency while the issue is resolved.

Never mind. I was going to test with an alt, but even pulling my test community, !test_magazine@thebrainbin.org, over at lemmy.world, results either in this error:
Or a Cloudflare error where the final point of 3 (still waiting for it to happen again to take a screenshot) is unreachable.
Could you link a post whose interactions give errors? And do these errors happen even if you remove you reaction and react again?
Reddit not being transparent and not having independent safeguards against numbers’ manipulation, I wouldn’t trust their statistics.
Besides here, might I suggest participating in other forums? Some times they get highlighted at !Forums@sh.itjust.works, but they’re still way more plentiful that what gets curated there from my experience. Also if you must still consume contents from Reddit, they still have RSS for the time being.
A bit of an exercise on futurology, but from what I skimmed on the promotional materials, this remake seems to be inspired in the recent open world Zelda games. If that’s the case indeed, I’d presume that the controls would work as well.
They don’t show the name of the poster in the feed anymore?
Bots and bot-like figures that post to communities I’ve been blocking, as well as domains that I find to not aggregate much and that are posted to communities. GTA6 noise coming to my feed then becomes minimal, and I’d suggest the same then.
If you mean “how do I monetize to keep services afloat”, open donation channels, like Patreon, Ko-fi, direct donations like the American Zelle or the Brazilian Pix, referral links explicitly identified as such, etc., and be transparent about finances and that if someone likes the service, their support helps maintaining it.
Tempted to run the RSS feeds just for each community I follow, to see how many I get in a fresh instance of my reader. But qualitative instead of quantitative, I can notice pretty much every week I have to unfollow some group because it’s too much to keep track of.
Isn’t Lemmy older than 6 years though? Dunno on the federation aspect, but sorting posts on Lemmy instances by oldest first shows a few older posts.
Still, by the time these oldest posts were made, Reddit was already some 10 years old to my knowledge, and we can’t even be sure if their active users’ numbers are real due to lack of transparency and these numbers coming from a single source instead of being a sum of several independent ones.
And at least an impression of mine, but in these ~4 years I’ve been around, engagement seems to be growing slowly but steadily. And I’d need to put on a graph the data shared about the growth of the fediverse from another community, but the numbers overall seem to be growing there too.
On taking down Reddit, I’d advise against it. Competition is what lets products and services improve. What I’d expect in an organic competition, however, is for Reddit to deflate into a shadow of its former self, keeping only a nicher usefulness, like Tumblr did and thus becoming just another forum.
Haven’t tested making posts on PieFed, but will try later.
