Migration goes beyond sheer numbers. The 3.8k users are probably the one that were the most attached to initial Reddit, hence people who would contribute the more. I would rather be with those 3.8k users than the millions of people okay with staying on Reddit despite Spez's decisions.

I hope that once Lemmy is a bit more polished (instance blocking, account migration, hot filtering working etc.), we will gradually see a second wave of arrivals.

Hello, Thank for sharing! Seems like it already got posted to !reddit@lemmy.world, maybe we can keep the Reddit discussions over there? There isn't that much technology discussed on Reddit nowadays, it's mostly a sinking ship by now.

And it's back up again! Kudos to the team!

Just have a look at the content there, it dropped a lot in quality.

Still no mention of Lemmy or Kbin

Indeed, unfortunately most of the mobile apps don't implement that feature

The host is on vacation and has no backup admin.

Thankfully, other instances are still up and allow us to talk about it.

Back in the days, when Reddit or Twitter were down, it was down for the whole userbase.

Thank you for your work!

I am always a bit cautious with Brave products' privacy policies

Interesting feedback from the mods interviewed

Child porn, dying animals, dying children, brutal 3rd world scenes of horror, and quite a lot of literal poop. So if anyone was bothered by graphic images, they should stay well away...

And because your Reddit account can be permabanned at any time by Reddit's Anti-Evil Operations bot with a modest amount of reporting from a number of sockpuppet accounts, you're not able to tell these people to fuck off and go to hell when they inevitably ask why you're discriminating against them and their sickening photos.

You have to maintain a veneer of pleasantness for even the most vile photos and the most abusive Redditors because those are the people that can and will get you banned in retaliation.

Yes, good luck with that, Spez.

Thank you for the update, seems like a reasonable approach

Actually most of the discussion happens in !reddit@lemmy.ml

Articles > videos

Be the change you want to see. I noticed that every time I post even a small thing on those empty communities, people come and contribute.

It’s mostly an empty dancefloor issue, nobody wants to be the first

The other day I linked an interesting perspective on AI on !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world , hopefully those kind of exchanges happen more and more

I have an account on yours too, but I might split it between both indeed :)

How many times is this information going to be reposted? It feels like I've seen it ten times already

Thank you! I will donate tomorrow

I guess the issue is to importing the huge list of blocked instances to the new account

Seems like the CloudFlare protection still isn't enough. I feel sorry for them to have to deal with this on a Sunday

A reminder that this constant advice people blindly parrot to install and flock to smaller instance has now created something like 1000 new servers in 50 days that are poorly run and already going offline as quickly as they went online.

I am always advocating for any of the top 25 instances that are not Lemmy.world or Lemmy.ml

For the rest of your post, I don't know what that has to do with people aggreating on LW.

Well, most admins I see disagree on that

Doing the exercise right now, surprised to see that the latest Mario Movie is 59%

Quoting myself from a previous post:

First of all, it's really fine to stay on LW for now, no need to rush anything. But if at some point you have some time for this, then read the following.

So, to pick your instance, you can have a look at https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list, filter by "1m" to see what are the most popular ones. As you can see, with a 27433 monthly users, Lemmy.world is by far the most popular, which is why you might experience some issues from time to time.

You should have a look at the next instances on the list. Short story: lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works, lemmy.one, sopuli.xyz and reddthat.com are solid choices.

You are looking at instances with quite a lot of people (the more people help with filling your "All" feed), just not the most populous one (lemmy.world), the original one (lemmy.ml), and instances that are too specific, either due to country or specific focus.

Long story:

::: spoiler spoiler

  • lemmy.ml is the original insance, also quite crowded, not really the best choice
  • lemm.ee can be nice, you can have a look at it and see how fast it is for you. The admin communicates a lot and is very helpful.
  • sh.itjust.works had some rough time in the last few days. You might also not like the name, that's okay.
  • beehaw.org does not federate with the big instances, so if you go there, you will be in their own space. It can a valid choice, but please have a look at their guidelines first, they tend to moderate a lot. Can work for you, or not.
  • feddit.de, lemmy.ca, discuss.tchncs.de, feddit.uk, aussie.zone are country specific instances, so probably not interesting to you if you are not from there
  • lemmynsfw is a NSFW instance, probably not the one you want to move to
  • programming.dev is an instance focused on programming
  • lemmy.blahaj.zone is a pro queer instance :::

.

To migrate your settings (including subscriptions and blocked instances), you can use that script: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim

Lemmy has pretty much of a soul, same for other fediverse platforms.

That's a good question actually. there is !newcommunities@lemmy.world for communities, maybe you can reach out to them to see if you can also promote your server?

Having to go to school for classes I don't like

They should have specific translations files on their repo, you can submit a PR for those

Also, this is not a support community

Limit instances to 2000 users. Rely on donations. Once the software will be mature enough, we will know exactly how much it costs per users. Users can even pay for others (I wouldn't mind cover the costs for users I would know who could not afford it).

Ads require tracking to be valuable

Well, why is a private US company supposed to take care of the communication of such events to Turkish citizens? I always think this kind of systems should be handled by the local government

Google = bad

Isn't Google trying to embed DRM into webpages to avoid track blocking as we speak?

Thank you for the update!

https://szmer.info/ ? It's a Polish instance

As always, I have to ask: is there a second admin, what would happen to the instance if something happened to you tomorrow (which I really wish will not!)

The Vlemmy.net disaster is still fresh in people's mind

Thanks for sharing!

It's a good reminder that other large instances (lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works, reddthat.com, sopuli.xyz) usually offer higher uptime while showing the same content as LW
