PSA: Alternatives for the most popular lemmy.ml communities

barsoap@lemm.ee to Fediverse@lemmy.world – 309 points –

For all your boycotting needs. I'm sure there's some mods caught in lemmy.ml's top 10 that are perfectly upstanding and reasonable people, my condolences for the cross-fire.

  1. !memes@lemmy.world and !memes@sopuli.xyz. Or of course communities that rule.
  2. !asklemmy@lemmy.world
  3. !linux@programming.dev. Quite small, plenty of more specific ones available. Also linux is inescapable on lemmy anyway :)
  4. !programmer_humor@programming.dev
  5. !world@lemmy.world
  6. !privacy@lemmy.world and maybe !privacyguides@lemmy.one, lemmy.one itself seems to be up in the air. !fedigrow@lemm.ee says !privacy@lemmy.ca. They really seem to be hiding even from another, those tinfoil hats :)
  7. !technology@lemmy.world
  8. Seems like !comicstrips@lemmy.world and !comicbooks@lemmy.world, various smaller comic-specifc communities as well as !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee
  9. !opensource@programming.dev
  10. !fuckcars@lemmy.world

Lemm.ee will not defederate over tankie mods, there's a specific policy. As to the change I want to see: Guess what I did just before I posted the list, go through all my subscription and clean it of lemmy.ml.

I very much doubt there's going to be one a day, these kinds of things tend to ebb and flow. Also it would've been much faster to ignore this thread than to reply.

Ok?

So if you disagree with their policy enough, you can change instances.

Or you can stay, and build up those alternative communities instead of asking people to do it for you.

Like, the logic behind this isn't difficult, and I thought you'd be able to grasp it.

That's why I bothered to reply, instead of just blocking you. Same chance I gave some of the lemmy.ml subs before blocking their instance.

You're handling it about as well

Not everyone wants to block the clowns. I enjoy the show.

Oh it's givesomefucks, the other clown!

I don't disagree with lemm.ee's policy.

So if you disagree with their policy enough, you can change instances.

You can move your home instance where you log in? Explain how. That was going to be one of things I suggest you could do in future updates.

Not that I would move right now. I'm happy on Lemmy.World but I'd like the option.

But.......why? Whats the advantage of reddthat over lemmy.world?

Also, when I saw Homer I thought it was going to be him saying "Oooooooooo!!!! Explain how!"

Which nobody seems to have gotten my reference.....the other guy even got offended.

You can move your home instance where you log in? Explain how.

I mean. Since you asked so politely...

You can export your settings in a .json file, then create a new account on a new instance an import your settings.

But like, you need to try and be better when you're asking people for help.
