Following the other thread (550 upvotes and 366 comments at the moment: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417), one of the complaints that people had what that some communities only exist on lemmy.ml and don't have alternatives on other instances.

Let's discuss this and see if we can organize together.

I suggest to have one topic per comment so that is is easier to discuss.

Sorry to bring it to you, but https://lemmy.film/ has been down for probably six months.

What is the issue with dbzer0? It's literally an instance with the largest piracy community of all of Lemmy

[-] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 3 points 5 months ago

When I think of db0 I think of piracy or AI, Jellyfin is a media manager, when I think of it, I think of TV, film and self hosting.

Well, I'm pretty sure none of the Jellyfin users stream their vacation movies

[-] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 3 points 5 months ago

At least one does. But needless to say, there's lots of legally owned content sitting on many NASs all across the world.

I can easily create a community for jellyfin on https://selfhosted.forum, but I'd be more inclined to do it on https://poweruser.forum.

https://libretechni.ca/ is also down on my site, is the site supposed to be up?

Oh nice! Only one admin though

If he decides to shut down the project, or something happens to him, the server will probably go down with him.

See vlemmy.net, lemmy.film, iusearch.fyi, and so on

Aha, makes sense. Though my beloved tf went down and that had multiple admins at one point.

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Single admin instances are fragile instances. One person is a single point of failure.

[-] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 5 months ago

But if the primary admin buggers off with the hosting and/or domain, doesn't that kill all instances?

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Not if the instance has a backup admin who can take over hosting, domain, etc, which most large instances do. Very small instances usually have a poor bus factor.

[-] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 0 points 5 months ago

Yep, I guess its having an outage. It's been fine for weeks.
