Is Threads even a good enough product for users to be willing to endure ads?

You’re perfectly free to go on Lemmy instances that don’t have that as a rule.

I’m glad to hear

I just added it as a rule for the communities I moderate. I also set my Bluesky feeds to filter out X links.

@dessalines@lemmy.ml please consider this.

Lemmy instances should follow suit.

According to fedidb.org, Lemmy has plateaued at around 43k active users over the past year.

If you ask me, though, it doesn’t matter. The Lemmy ecosystem is active and healthy.

I don’t know. I’m just making rough estimates. Suffice it to say that that the lemmy.ml admins do not have any power over the vast majority of lemmy users.

According to lemmyverse.net,

One out of the top ten when sorting by MAU. That community is !memes@lemmy.ml.

Say what you will about the Lemmy devs and their political leanings, but they did a great job at ensuring the broader Lemmy community would not centralize onto their instance.

Yeah, actually. Of the top five four instances by MAU according to FediDB, lemmy.ml has 9% of the total user base.

I know there a pie charts that illustrate this point better, but I can’t find them right now.

Huh. I’ll do that later today then

There’s already an initiative to launch a third-party ATProto relay. Hopefully soon enough, we’ll be able to post on Bluesky without relying on Bluesky PBLLC’s infrastructure.

LGBT content on rednote is usually posted with #le and #wlw, as far as I heard.

lemmy.ml is not even a large instance compared to lemmy.world or lemm.ee

It’s still in closed beta. You can’t “just sign up.”

They recently added new translation features. I don’t think it’s going to happen.

Trump fired Lina Kahn, so we know this is bullshit.

Most of them are joking about reuniting with their Chinese spy

In all likelihood, Red Note will be banned banned, probably before the Red Note devs add a built-in translate function.
