Wow that is really cool, I hope you can add photon https://photon.xylight.dev/ at some point, it is super beautiful too

It seems like everyone has already made up their minds, but I really like the domain 196.social it sounds very cute. It feels like we could expand to things like a chat community with weekly check-ins similar to what Beehaw does. Our own slice of the internet that will live as long as 196 users exist.

It depends who would have to deal with upgrades and such but it sounds so cool to have our own domain. I also like that it would be on EU servers, just because.

Though being a large community we can also fund blahaj zone which would help smaller blahaj communities. So just because of this we should stay. My only gripe with blahaj lemmy is the domain is so long and clunky. But thats so minor lol.

Just let me dream for a few minutes :3
