When you notice Lemmy is quieter than usual, then have a look at the Lemmy.world status (sopuli.xyz)

Seems like they are under attack again, will those people never stop? I feel sorry for the admin team.

This is why we need users to spread to more servers and create communities in them. If lemmy.world goes down that shouldn't result in half of lemmyhub disappearing.

Yes! I tried with a niche topic like fallout but can’t get people to move over from the Lemmy world community.

[-] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

was there already a fallout community on lemmy.world?

[-] fraydabson@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah. Very inactive so I shouldn’t be surprised no one came to mine on sopuli.xyz

Right.. I guess for me I'm not sure it's all that productive to start multiple communities on the same topic? I dunno, maybe it's good. If I'm looking for something specific, like, say turntables, and I search lemmy for a turntable community, I'm not sure it'd be a good thing to find 3-4 different lemmy communities on the topic. Perhaps I'm just thinking in older, outdated, reddit kind of thinking though.

Yeah I get it. My goal was since the Lemmy world community was pretty inactive if I can post more to encourage activity on mine I can make mine more active and the defacto community which helps get people off of Lemmy world.

If it were a community that is highly active on Lemmy world then I understand it doesn’t seem productive to re create active communities.

I have heard other people voice opinions that having multiple of the same communities over different instances is a good thing with how Lemmy works. I do wish we had a federated community so as people make more communities on different instances it more merges them into one so if one instance goes down the others are still keeping the community alive. But idk if that’s possible or on the Lemmy roadmap.
