Seems like they are under attack again, will those people never stop? I feel sorry for the admin team.

This is why we need users to spread to more servers and create communities in them. If lemmy.world goes down that shouldn't result in half of lemmyhub disappearing.

Yes! I tried with a niche topic like fallout but can’t get people to move over from the Lemmy world community.

[–] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

was there already a fallout community on lemmy.world?

[–] fraydabson@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah. Very inactive so I shouldn’t be surprised no one came to mine on sopuli.xyz

[–] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right.. I guess for me I'm not sure it's all that productive to start multiple communities on the same topic? I dunno, maybe it's good. If I'm looking for something specific, like, say turntables, and I search lemmy for a turntable community, I'm not sure it'd be a good thing to find 3-4 different lemmy communities on the topic. Perhaps I'm just thinking in older, outdated, reddit kind of thinking though.

[–] fraydabson@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I get it. My goal was since the Lemmy world community was pretty inactive if I can post more to encourage activity on mine I can make mine more active and the defacto community which helps get people off of Lemmy world.

If it were a community that is highly active on Lemmy world then I understand it doesn’t seem productive to re create active communities.

I have heard other people voice opinions that having multiple of the same communities over different instances is a good thing with how Lemmy works. I do wish we had a federated community so as people make more communities on different instances it more merges them into one so if one instance goes down the others are still keeping the community alive. But idk if that’s possible or on the Lemmy roadmap.

Let’s see if I do this right. !fallout@sopuli.xyz

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Did you advertise it on the New Communities community?

I did not. Forgot about that.

Also strange is that Lemmy never notified me of your message. Haven’t had that happen before I don’t think.

[–] June@lemm.ee 25 points 1 year ago

I’m more of a commenter and less of a poster, but I moved away from world as my primary instance last week. Part to spread the load, part to just be able to browse.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Commenting on your comment not because I expect you to have them or anything, it's just the top comment so hopefully someone sees this. I know there's a handful of links out there to browse instances. Are there any that can see who's defederated with who/ which instances are federated with the most instances? I had another account on a .ml domain instance but they got purged with a bunch of others a couple of weeks ago. I use my lemmy.world account because it has the most-ish reach for finding new communities and whatnot

You are welcome!

Currently no, there isn't a way to see that granular of detail. On my instance I have details about any defederated (blocked) instances. Currently there are none.

But there are pros and cons of joining smaller server. Since mine is small we don't see a large list of communities, I make a point to go through and subscribe to a bunch everyday so my users can get the best experience. But without others doing some of the leg work it can be challenging. Bigger instances like lemmy.world have "seeded" with communities all over because of their large user base. Not only does lemmy.world have a ton of communities but their users have subscribed to communities outside the instance making it discoverable to others.

Unless you want to see porn or troll instances, I don't think there's a big difference between instances except for the fact that beehaw isn't federated with lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works

[–] jeffhykin@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

There's a posposal for an automatic user distribution system (original post here: https://lemm.ee/post/2800726). Showing support for it would be a big help!

[–] Skoobie@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Glad I'm realizing this before getting too attached to any one account. Setting up on a few instances now.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

There are tools to migrate subs/blocks

[–] korbelix@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Any recommendations? Would love to sync my lemmy.world subs to some other accounts

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

LASIM worked for me.

Find it and other tools here

Getting attached to any account is not recommended. Hopefully most are pretty set but I know personally if I was too run into financial trouble I would shut it down. Bigger instances do get some amount of patrons who donate to them.
