Great news, thanks for sharing
Very interesting, thanks!
!movies@lemm.ee still going strong
Interesting, thanks for sharing. I haven’t been there in a while
I’ll skip this one, but thanks for this initiative!
Just a small question, where is the link to the community?
Looks like feddit.it updated to 19.3, good for them!
But wouldn’t it be great if the knitting community (for example) on beehaw.org, lemmy.ml, lemmy.world and feddit.de would be merged for me into one entity for a better browsing experience?
Why wouldn’t they merge on one instance? Seems easier, and can be done today compared to having to ask the developers to implement a complex feature.
And on Lemmy some instances duplicate everything. For example beehaw
Are they not allowed to?
Beehaw exists for people who wanted a heavily-moderated space, and they seem to be doing well activity-wise. Do you want to force them with the rest of the instances?
There might need to be a revamp of the logo to make it a bit more appealing.
What I could definitely see happening would be instance-based merch, especially if the community feeling is strong.
Don’t want to be ostracized because your user is registered on the wrong politic instance ? Join biggest instance instead.
There are plenty of politically neutral instance. Most of them are, actually, the only ones that come to mind as politically oriented are hexbear, lemmygrad and to an extend, lemmy.ml.
That leaves lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works, all the feddit.country, discuss.tchncs.de, sopuli.xyz, reddthat.com, lemmy.zip as neutral alternatives
There are several examples of communities moving from instance to another, or refusing a mod powertrip.
!unixporn@lemmy.world was an attempt from the mods subreddit to get the community back, but most of the people rejected that and stayed on !unixporn@lemmy.ml.
Small scale example, but I like the show “the Office”. !dundermifflin@lemmy.ml is the historical community, but as some people are not fans of lemmy.ml, we moved to !dundermifflin@lemm.ee, which is now the most active community on this topic.
I guess that shows that community takeover is possible, and does not need additional tools, just some time and dedication.
Also, keep in mind that except if there is a real reason (admin/mods powertripping, problematic instance direction), there is no incentive for users to move to another community. But the important thing is that the possibility is very much there, and helps keeping everyone in check.
This is the power of the Daemon
The current setup cntralizes power into the hands of whoever gets traction first on the platform.
There are other factors at hand, such as the moderation and the instance politics
Migrating accounts between instances
Isn’t that implemented in the 19.2 and later versions? I just migrated using that feature a few days back, worked quite well
The AMA is upcoming on Friday, it’s not this thread
Looking forward to it. Hopefully people will stay respectful.
Interesting, thanks
