I guess that’s what instances are trying to avoid by preemptively blocking Threads. If everyone else blocks it then Lemmy carries on existing as it is. And I can’t imagine big corpo wouldn’t want to create their own name.

Either they federate and all their users are exposed to the rest of the fediverse, or they don’t and they may as well be a separate thing

I think the problem is that people use “algorithm” to mean “curated social media feed”, whereas it actually refers to a kick-ass prog-metal band

I think the hard part would be keeping it up to date as instances change

Even better, you can then follow those communities as an RSS feed!
