I wonder how crossposting is working/going to work. Is it going to be like a copy with a different comment section for each community or like a single thread present in multiple communities with unified comment section.
If the comment sections are separated, can be de-duplicate posts and unify comment sections using something like a multireddit.

I don’t understand why you need to "convince" anyone. If you want to block Meta you can just block Meta or join an instance that blocks Meta, there is no need to collectively defederate.
If your instance’s admin has enabled SECURE_FETCH and you block Meta’s domain (even as a simple user) you are effectively isolated from meta, even boosting your posts can’t expose them to Meta (thanks to SECURE_FETCH).
This can be a personal decision it doesn’t have to be collective.

Mastodon users have the option to opt-out of search engines indexing by adding tags to their post hat are readable by web crawlers.
So you might not find everything from mastodon, but for a reddit-like it makes sense to be indexed.
Angry upvote across the fediverse
So, I was experimenting a bit with inter connectivity from different ActivityPub softwares. And turns out that emoji-reaction on calckey (a microblog software that is NOT mastodon) is converted to an upvote.
So I can literally angry upvote posts on lemmy! That’s pretty cool.
Edit: on another note, posts with multiple pictures don’t federate very well with lemmy. Edit does work though
@Eggyhead
What I love with this twitter/4chan/reddit example is that among others Wordpress, Tumblr and instagram are working on implementing ActivityPub.
There is a very real possible future where a Tumblr user will reblog a wordpress article and an instagramer will see it and reply to it.

There is a demo of an algorithmic timeline thingy for mastodon at https://fedifeed.herokuapp.com/ and I really really like how it has a bunch of sliders for fine-tuning. The time penalty in particular is very important.
Would be absolutely awesome to have the same on lemmy.
Edit: Lemmy doesn’t show my picture...

Lorsque tu postes sur lemmy, il y au moins trois dictateurs bienveillants qui peuvent te censurer.
L’admin de là où t’as créé ton compte.
Le modo de la communauté où tu as posté.
L’admin de là où se trouve ta communauté.
Je suppose que les admins de là où se trouve les lecteurs peuvent te masquer, mais ça changera pas grand chose pour 95% du reste du réseau ça n’affectera qu’un nombre réduit de lecteurs qui se trouve sur ce server en particulier.
@ValueSubtracted
Instance users are only local users.
Community users include remote users who remotely subscribed to the community.
So the community users will always be higher than the number of instance users.
And it still doesn’t count lurkers like we who reply to a thread without subscribing.

Misskey is a Japanese twitter-like. It’s actually older than mastodon and very popular in Japan specifically. They have custom emoji reactions under posts, they have animation and advanced markdown, they can have cat ears on their profile pictures, THEY HAVE QUOTE REPOST, chat, advanced search features, etc.
Misskey have been forked multiple times (foudkey, calckey, etc.) and those forks are more popular in English-speaking communities.

We can have both generic instances and instances around a particular topic.
We already have a few lemmy dedicated to a particular community like latte.isnot.coffee and startrek.website

Choosing a server is often the hardest step. That’s why you should send the signup page of your fav instance to your friends and not the official lemmy page.
