Maybe with the next reddit screw-up, that will happen, hehe.

Let’s hope

Thank you. Looking forward that announcement, hopefully that they convince Blahaj to redeferate

Well spotted

it’s much more dangerous for the individual fish to be in a smaller school than to stay in the large school.

LW run was running 0.19.3 for more than a year after the 0.19.4 and later releases, preventing the LW users of using the new Lemmy features.

is safer for the individual to join a “too large to fail” instance.

Agree, but if you filter https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list by Active Users, and take any instance in the top 20, you’re as safe as on LW.

Lemmy.zip for instance provides monthly transparency reports on !home@lemmy.zip , such as this one: https://lemmy.zip/post/35411310

who wants to invest years in a social media site just to lose your account?

I’ve switched instances several times since June 2023. I keep the same username and profile pic, so people still recognize me, and I still recognize other users who switched instances, or even platforms (e.g. switching from Lemmy to Piefed).

I know every time I see another instance get shut down or defederated, I’m relieved I decided to sign up via .world, even if it’s sluggish at times.

You’ll see similar reactions of people not on LW every time LW takes a controversial decision: https://lemmy.world/post/24135976

“Joining the fediverse isn’t hard bro, your instance doesn’t matter, just pick one.”

It’s true, especially in cases like this when users have 3 months to pick another instance.

“Stop using Lemmy.world, we need to redistribute to smaller instances.”

Also true. Should LW go down in 90 days in a similar way, is it better if LW has 50% of the users, or a smaller number?

!privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com as a replacement for !privacyguides@lemmy.one

We always put out calls before (major) releases, but very few ppl actually help test

Where are those posted? I think I always miss them, happy to help with testing before major releases

Amazing!

A bit surprising but to be honest

Yoy can maybe crosspost on !skincareaddiction@sh.itjust.works

Technical dialogs (the only variant of useful dialogs) are impossible here.

I have a lemmy.zip account, they still federate LW

Feel free to discuss with @AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works , they mod !boardgames@sopuli.xyz and are generally quite nice 😄

Hopefully lemmy will be there eventually, but for now lots of communities with thousands of members on reddit have hundreds or dozens on lemmy.

I see where you come from, but Reddit subscribers are usually inflated, and you don’t need thousands of people to answer a question

Cool !

Hello,

Cool idea! Any reason to host the community on LW, while you use a lemm.ee account?

and double up any content.

This tends to splinters discussions as comments from a post on one community don’t show up on the same post on the other community

!fedigrow@lemm.ee usually recommends to merge similar communities, you can have a look at a few recent posts
