You are overthinking this. If you like green tea, but an instance admin prefers coffee, would you stop posting on every community on that instance? Do you only want to post where people 100% align with your views on everything? I guess not, because then you would have to host a private instance where you only talk to yourself. Therefore, stop overthinking this and keep posting there.
If the question whether somebody federates with Threads or not is THAT important to you, then you already have your answer.
Overall, I really hope we do not come to a point where thoughts like “my instance does not federate with $evilinstance, therefore it’s a good instance. But $otherinstance does, therefore $otherinstance sucks and I’ll avoid everything on $otherinstance” become the norm. Because then we get a clusterfuck.
You made me realise I asked the wrong question. It’s all about Threads. I updated the title and my question. Thank you
As seen on my other comments, I want Lemmy to grow so we can have diverse communities and diverse viewpoints. Why would Threads users join Lemmy if they can just subscribe to instances federating with them. That is why I don’t want to post on instances federating with Threads anymore
I also don’t want Threads to benefit from my posts/comments
Would you still post to lemmy.world or you would create another community on lemmy.ml where Threads is blocked, if you were in my case?

I see.

I understand your problem. It’s an interesting thought-experiment. Though I am not a fan of Meta/Threads either, it probably is not that dear to my heart as it is to you. You’ll have to decide this based upon how important the situation with Threads really is to you. If it’s a matter of principle, you probably would not continue posting to lemmy.world. That said, as it’s niche communities you are talking about, creating new ones on other instances will create a split, which is most likely not helpful for user engagement. Who knows, if Threads will bring many users, it might actually help bring life to niche communities.
Of course, you do have every right to create another community somewhere else, my gut tells me it will not be successful though. I just don’t think many will be like “Oh there is a new community for this hosted on an instance not federating with Threads, let’s move!”. Users, overall, will probably gravitate towards the community with the most activity and it’s not likely that it will be your new one. However, you may have a chance if it there is hardly any activity now.
Thanks. Yes and no. I do from time to time, but I don’t want this account to be associated with those. I do hope though that on Lemmy more communities for non-tech related content will take off eventually, for example Philosophy and Meditation etc. Civil discussions, no flame wars, no spite, no hive-minded downvote(or upvote) brigades for all your interests would be a dream, how realistic this vision is with growing users is the question. Nevertheless, we are not at the point to worry about this yet.
I switched to the Poco F5 from my Mi Mix 2S. Overall I think it’s probably the best bang for buck in the category. If you know your way around MIUI’s shennanigans, it should be pretty great. The only complaint I have (it’s really small) is that I was used to tap the power button for shortcuts, but now that becomes weird because it always unlocks the phone.
I’ve been lifting weights daily since I was 15, and I’m 33 now. I enjoy it in that it makes me feel like I’m accomplishing something more than I would be if I just sat on my ass at home. It feels good to push yourself physically and ‘feel the burn’ and work up a sweat. Humans were meant to use their bodies and if you don’t there’s a very good chance that that is the reason you feel like shit all the time.
But also no because I find weight training to be exceptionally boring. This is easily mitigated though because once you have the flow of your workout solidly built into your head, it’s simple enough that you can turn your brain off and focus on the podcast you’re listening to. 30-50 minutes will pass by in a flash.
I still have days where I dread my workout, and I have to really push myself to complete them. Generally, if I go straight home from work and sit on my couch, I will not get back up.
Huawei P30 Lite. 4 years. More or less 1:1 size of S10e, compact enjoyer with big hands. Got battery replaced for a whopping $20, officially. No security problems, keep my Firefox with uBO updated, solid firewalling and app permissions in check.
I have a whopping total of 5 closed source apps (including Whatsapp and Discord sandboxed in work profile) with internet connection, all of which are fully safe as far as security goes, if not privacy. One of the other apps is safe for privacy as well. All of my apps that are not these 5, are installed from F-Droid.
I will upgrade though, because the camera on this at night is no longer competent enough, and there are camera sensors far superior than 1/2.8" on main and 1/4.0" on ultrawide. (1/1.0" main and 1/1.5" ultrawide are peak hardware these days, amounting to atleast 2x better photos and videos which is significant and worth it.)
Yes, I feel pleasure when lifting weights. It’s good to feel powerful, and it’s good to feel like I’m getting stronger. I also get pleasure from knowing I can do it and that I’m dedicated and can keep up the routine. So I suppose it’s mostly mental pleasure, but physically having that feeling of power is great at the very least.
My first was the GameCube, the one that came with Super Mario Sunshine and I would play that game for hours. Even though the Gamecube wasn’t Nintendos best console it’s one of my favourites just for the nostalgia factor.
I have Android 7 and Jerboa {the official Lemmy app) requires Android 8 or higher. So people told me to upgrade but I wasn’t having that. It turns out there is a fork with Android 6 and 7 support that might get merged into mainline, so my phone will be cool for a while longer. But the upgrade pressure is out there.
I am not sure of the custom rom situation but I use this phone every day so I don’t want to mess with it. I can consider it if I get a new phone while the old one still works.
I had trouble with the web version but it works now so I’m using it. I’ll try Jerboa again sometime. I had to uninstall the 0.17 fork I was using after lemmy.world upgraded it’s backend.
For me it's either when I find the included RAM is too small (as apps grow over time) or when the flash memory degrades to a noticeable degree, or when the camera loading takes too long.
