- Not regarding using or support for Lemmy: context, see the list of support communities and tools for finding communities below
- Not ad nauseam inducing: please make sure it is a question that would be new to most members
- An actual topic of discussion

MODERATORS
I don’t want the fediverse to be fragmented and Balkanized. Federate with everyone unless it’s a kiddy porn ring.
Give threads a chance. You can revisit if it turns out problematic
That exact argument works for most communities to defederate from. "Federate with everyone unless I take issue with the community or how it's run".
Plenty of other communities will federate with Threads, I don't have any problem with lemmy.ml opting out.
We'll get to see if defederating with Threads makes post and discussion quality higher than in communities federated with Threads, or if it only stunts the growth of this instance.
