I'm new to it all so I registered on lemmy.world and subscribed to several communities. I also registered and subscribed to the same communities on lemmy.ee. When lemmy.world is down, I use lemmy.ee, but those subscribed communities that are local on lemmy.world are no longer accessible. I thought communities synced over instances so if an instance goes down, communities are still accessable. Is this not true?
Hello,
Thank you for your message. You might want to have a look at https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim to sync subs between accounts.
I thought communities synced over instances so if an instance goes down, communities are still accessable.
They are, but not in the way you think: if you follow community@lemmy.world from lemm.ee, and then lemmy.world goes down, you can still see the content of that community on lemm.ee, it does not become unavailable to you.
I hope this answers your question
i went regional for a friendly region in my main language. It has a comunity for pudus which gives it extra points tbh. !pudu@feddit.cl if interested.
For me, I would want to to federate and not be defederated by with Lemmygrad and Hexbear, while also having the same for things like aussie.zone, pathfinder.social, slrpnk.net, and the larger instances so I can pick out good communities from them. Stability matters more than size for me, I have no issues with the all feed and actually have had to block some communities due to spam or lack of interest as it is.
Also, is it the case that it only shows communities someone is subscribed to in all, or is it discovered communities?
I've just got one criteria: I host ๐
The reason I picked sh.itjust.works has my backup. Because I only heard good things about them. My main is lemmy.world.
Links to:
Sh.itjust.works is my backup too. I signed up for it first because ease of access, but then I found mander.xyz which is more in line with my interests.
I was on lemmy.world but after admin made executive decision to defederate from hexbear I bailed to lemmygrad. No time for powertripping mods
Well I'm running my own no.lastname.nz
Just like @frozen@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz it is mostly just myself that uses it, but reg is open. Admined from New Zealand and the server is in Australia
Stability โ So, uptime and rate at which it updates with Lemmy.
Moderation โ One or two good Admins at least to keep things running smoothly and communicate with us Lemmings effectively, and have a decent ruleset.
Federation โ Wide enough that I can get the content I'm looking for whilst (likely) not dealing with nutjobs.
The rest is all good, the federated nature of everything means I don't really need to be where the communities I use the most are.
definitely worth taking a look at different instances stance on defederation. after the whole ordeal with lemmy.world defederating with hexbear prematurely its worth taking the time to find an instance that aligns with your ideals and won't remove communities you may find valuable. I personally dont align with hexbear's politics but I think that its important to have an open federation policy.
how do i know if my instance is using the Lemmy Community Seeder?
Probably ask your admin in the meta community
I went with dbzer0 for two main reasons - pirates have a long history of maintaining server infrastructure, and joining a smaller instance fights centralization.
Did not know about that seeder. Super useful tool! Thanks for sharing.
Anywhere not banning lemmygrad is probably an OK place.
Everyone else, if not purely technical instances, are mostly replicating politics in a way that hurts humanity as a whole.
I don't want to be on an instance that defederates instances based on any ideology. Originally I signed up for beehaw.org but saw they were defederating with instances who "didn't share their inclusive views" That's fine as it is their instance I guess, but I deleted my account. If your ideology of choice needs censorship to back it up, maybe it's not that great. I want my all to be EVERYTHING porn nazis communists I don't give a shit. ALL MEANS ALL
Porn Nazi Communism: Faschist government holds all the means of production and runs them, with who're supremacy.
I usually use my lemmy.world account, but with the recent downtimes there, I've been using my alt account more. I choose this one because it's somewhat local to me, and it's nice to be able to see more somewhat local news and info.
