For those who don't want to follow the existing 196 community move, some community members have made an alternative community on blahaj.zone

I am not directly involved in the new community, but I'm happy to share it for those looking for a blahaj based alternative.

Did something happen with the existing 196?

They have decided to move to lemmy.world with zero warning

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Despite using Lemmy for a while now. What's the significance of this, and does it stop people from being able to interact with it?

Sorry, I really don't know too much about this stuff.

Every "instance" of Lemmy is like an island. Every island has it's own population. It has it's own admin team with their own culture and ideals. It's one of the strengths of Lemmy. Don't like reddit's admins? Deal with it or leave. Don't like lemmy.ml's? Okay just go to lemmy.world or thelemmy.club or any other instance. They're all connected (unless they decide they don't want to be.... but for the most part they are connected), and you can comment and like and post to communities on other instances.

196 was originally on lemmy.blahaj.zone, but they seemingly have some kind of issue with the admin team there, apparently banning some users in a way that they disagreed with. So they decide to move to lemmy.world. But they never told the users or asked so everyone is kinda mad about that. Not everyone likes lemmy.world, especially since blahaj is known for being super-trans freindly and so is 196.

It looks like they decided to not move after all the drama though so...
