Have a look at this post, we had a similar discussion there: https://lemmy.world/post/3074361

Long story short, the platform still needs a bit of work before being able to really move communities. Some examples exist (lemdro.id, piracy, startrek) but those are tech savvy audiences, there would be a lot more friction with more generalist communities

Thanks for the transparency, sad to hear as always to see a country specific instance to go unmanaged

Edit: I guess a few people will miss !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl from @freamon@endlesstalk.org

Nothing. Quality of life of working from home cannot be replicated. Or the office would have to be in my street, which is pretty unrealistic

At the time, LW was among the only ones that could handle the influx of registrations.

So naturally, it became the default one, as people would want to get on the biggest one, similar to a way the biggest Mastodon instance is very prevalent.

People were also afraid their All feed won't be as full if they were not on LW.

Nowadays I think the repartition is a bit better, and most of the top communities have at least an equivalent out of LW.

This post is woefully inaccurate. Firstly, all the revanced mod does is change the 3rd party API to a personal developer API. Not one single user has had any problems doing this as this API is offered for users to make and use apps. There's a call limit for everyone's personal API so it can't be abused.

This issue is from something separate... KoalaS made an IfR clone that uses the official Reddit app API. This is easily detectible and a really stupid decision to make, and an even dumber decision to use.

TLDR: this has nothing to do with revanced mods, just a really stupid specific cloned app

Edit: Never use a pre-made modded APK for this. If you do, you will be sharing an API with others and that could put your account at risk. Always patch your own app with your own API.

Seems quite stupid to tryp to spoof the official app, I guess personal revanced app are still here for long

Sorry for this, feel free to block all of the communities related to the topics. That should allow smaller ones to come to your feed.

Pictures, food, movies communities are rising, there is hope

I'm probably in the minority, but I do not care. If you are happy, that's the most important, you do you.

Lemmy.world holding such a prevalent place in the Lemmy/Kbin part of the Fediverse makes it a major single point of failure.

They should still be the newcomers instance, but communities and users should migrate to other instances to increase the resilience of the Fediverse.

Great news

https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats

Monthly active users is probably the more relevant metric.

36k which seems stable.

Expect another increase when 0.19 version is release, or next time Reddit messes up

Seems like nonsense to me to change time every six months

It's on the roadmap for 0.19, so coming hopefully in a few weeks

I'm also impressed by feddit.de presence, Fediverse culture seems strong in Germany

This graph is much more reassuring:

https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats

We are stable, even slightly growing in the last few days.

It seems you were unlucky with your instances, sorry to hear that.

You are currently on feddit.uk, which is indeed managed by a single person.

I always recommend to go for instances with at least two admins, for this kind of issues.

https://lemm.ee/, https://sh.itjust.works/ https://discuss.tchncs.de/ are solid choices.

Which are those apps? Boost, Sync, Thunder, Liftoff, Connect, Avalon and Voyager all work pretty well.

The authentication error is probably due to the release of 18.5 yesterday, should be fixed quickly.

All of those are growing pains. If you don't want to deal with those, you don't have too, just take a break from Lemmy. People should be free to let go of platforms at any time, and come back after a while if they feel like it.

Edit: Also, you can use https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim to move accounts

Should there be a !fuckingenraging ?

This, or blocking self hosting pictures

Well, you said it yourself, you're able to comment using your Db0 account on Lemmy.world.

Which websites can you post to using your Reddit account besides Reddit?

Duel of the fates, the soundtrack helps a lot

Of course, why not?

Well done!

Reminds me of the late /r/Trashyboners

If they go close source, other people will take the last version of the code and build on it

People on LW can't see it anymore apparently

If you want to see your instance survive, see what you instance admins have in mind regarding funding.

And donate. Depending on how many users there are, but 10 bucks a year per user would bring instances a long way.

Does Reddit suppress mentioning Lemmy

It does. Try commenting with https://phtn.app/ link in the comment, it will get removed instantly.

That's a personal opinion, but I would also be happy to see some groups spread on different communities to decide together on one community and make it grow together.

Browsing /all and seeing still another book or gaming community first post always makes me question if that post would not be better used in an established community.

And I know this will happen naturally overtime, I guess sometimes I would just like things to happen a bit faster and on a organized way.

!waveform@waveform.social if you want to comment on the thread

we are working on increasing the number of full time developers.

I see where you are coming from, but who is supposed to make this statement, LW admins? Because it's not their role. And if it's Lemmy devs, then it shouldn't be we.

Liftoff has been doing that for A while

They want to avoid lawsuit. Which are probably going to happen to dbzer0, I don't know where they are hosted, but they might get in trouble once they reach a large userbase

Original take on it.

I like it because there no mention of instances nor other technicalities.

This is very much allowed, sorry for your loss..

Subscriptions, block lists and general settings can be exported and imported since version 0.19.X

Mastodon doesn't allow to import posts due to technical limitations (as it would also a security risks, anyone being able to massively inject posts into an instance):

Your posts will not be moved, due to technical limitations.

Thanks for sharing!

FYI, direct image

Tha't indeed messed up

Also, promotion for !books@lemmy.ml and https://literature.cafe/ !

So it begins

I don't think it is, people are still active.

It was always expected that fringe servers might go down, while the core ones would consolidate

I usually use !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl , much more reliable
