    • The most active comm in the whole Threadiverse is !technology@lemmy.world
    • You can check !fediverse@lemmy.world and !fedimemes@feddit.uk to see what’s happening in the Fediverse.
    • For drama between people, we have this: !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
    • Same thing, but more political: !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
    • The piracy comm: !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
    • All modlogs are public (the site (instance) modlog also shows admin actions)
    • Votes are not private
    • There are other software for the Threadiverse such as mbin and piefed. Don’t assume everyone is using Lemmy
    • Currently the popular Lemmy alternative is Piefed
    • Maybe some past Threadiverse events/lore for context in a few rare discussions that might happen and have happened.
    • Most users in the Threadiverse are FOSS enthusiasts
    • A rough idea of how federation works to understand why some stuff are the way they are (e.g. fetching comms unknown to your instance, defederation, phantom comments, etc.)
    • There are some LLM bots (unidentified as such) roaming here as well. Be sure to block and report them.
    • This place might look inactive compared to Reddit. We are trying to grow organically. Bear with us.
    • If you want to help smaller communities out, try using the Scaled sort. It gives a boost to smaller comms in your feed.
