What would be the best thing to do to help keep lemmy.world up? Donate? Servers? What is the best way to help?

Honestly having a list of what makes instances different would help. I have two lemmy accounts right now and figuring out which instance to pick after Limmy.world is tough.

And I only want maximum federation. I'm willing to do my own moderation and curation, just not hosting. Though that may come later if needed.

I'm really happy at Lemmy.today - federates with everyone, no downvotes and fast instance. Just needs more users.

federates with everyone

Redflag. What country is it hosted in?

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 0 points 1 year ago

This one is in western USA. Why is it a red flag?

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

The vlemmy situation. Just make sure they defederate instances hosting things illegal in their home state.

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 0 points 1 year ago

What happened to it? I thought they just lost their ml domain.

Vlemmy was .net

They federated with an instance that was hosting content that was illegal in the country vlemmy was hosted in.

Ok thanks. It's kind of hard to keep track of all servers in the fediverse, so hopefully these illegal hosting servers would be highlighted by the community somehow.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

The one that caused vlemmy trouble is pretty well known at this point for welcoming animated content that is illegal in many countries. They were too careless.

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you. I think we should keep an eye out for those instances and maintain some list about them.

Just defederate

spoilerburgit

at the very least

Edit I don't want to bring attention to them.

[-] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Imo, the main difference between instances are the admin's attitudes.

Beehaw.com wants to be walled off for curation, lemmy.ml is a general server for tankies that don't want to troll and serves as a test bed for the devs, lemmy.world wants to be a general hub, sh.itjust.works also wants to be a general hub that puts more value on letting people manage their own content
