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.

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.

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

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.
