This is a general special interest lemmy instance focusing on lovers of all things pertaining to reading and writing and all of the people that enjoy it as well as fandoms and niches that exist within reading circles. We federate with other instances, with our local communities being focused primarily on the above.

If you want to federate a new community, go to lemmyverse.net and copy a link to a community and paste it into the search bar. Be patient!

Also, consider installing instance assistant to better navigate lemmy and find communities better! Find links to download them here: firefox, chrome, edge

Threads new 'Supplemental Privacy Policy' (Instagram link) says they'll collect (from fediverse users interacting with Threads users):

  • Username
  • Profile Picture
  • IP Address
  • Name of Third Party Service
  • Posts from profile
  • Post interactions (Follow, Like, Reshare, Mentions)

From the linked article:

"Granted, these sound like basic table stakes for federation to work well within the Fediverse. Most Mastodon servers collect roughly about the same amount of data for basic features to work correctly. But again, Meta is first and foremost an advertising and data harvesting company..."
