Hello everyone,

There has been some discussions lately about the moderation of some LW communities (see !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for details)

Which made me think that we currently don't have any active LW mod, the only remaining one being @UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev

So why would we not consider moving this community to another instance?

For people curious why moving the community to another instance would be beneficial:

  • LW has a 7-days delay with instances like aussie.zone (https://feddit.uk/post/18336398)
  • Having most of the instances on LW give a lot of power to the LW admins and mods, while spreading them out could be more ideal from a power distribution perspective
  • Previous communities have already migrated successfully, like !casualconversation@lemmy.world

Instances option

Alternatively, https://lemmy.zip/ is very well run

They regularly post very detailed updates on !home@lemmy.zip such as this one: https://lemmy.zip/post/27236300

They also offer very detailed information on those pages:

We would love to hear the community's opinion on this. If there there is a clear desire for the community to migrate, we would be happy facilitate such a move.

Please comment with your thoughts, if you want to stay or migrate. And if you want to migrate, we are open to instance suggestions.

Hello,

It has been a week, how long do you think we should keep this poll?

[-] UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Hey, announcement will be made soon™. The poll have been stable for a while, I don't think it will change much.

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

Perfect, thanks!

[-] malfisya@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

I would be in favor moving it to lemm.ee

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

Thank you for chiming in, seconded

[-] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago

lemmy.cafe, lemm.ee, sopuli.xyz

I think these are good candidates

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

FYI, lemmy.cafe still has an issue with pictures, you can see it on https://lemmy.cafe/?dataType=Post&listingType=All&sort=TopDay

The admin is investigating, but no success for the last 10 days

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 3 months ago

There are reported issues with recent Lemmy versions. It's probably related to that. Probably not a reason to avoid an instance.

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

Lemmy.zip, lemmy.cafe and lemm.ee all run 0.19.7

You have the link above to lemmy.cafe not showing the thumbnails.

Lemmy.zip and lemm.ee are fine

So this is instance-specific, the admin acknowledged it when I brought it up

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 0 points 3 months ago

FYI @UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev

I wouldn't mind moving the community off of lemmy.world over to another instance. I'm currently travelling so I'll need to take a deeper look into alternative instances later.

In regards to the controversies surrounding mods/admins on lemmy.world. I honestly think it's mostly just a result of lemmy.world's size and its generic nature. Speaking as an admin that has had my fair share of team discussions about how to moderate our instance, there isn't a magical solution that everyone will be happy with. Other lemmy.world mods also have no say on this community's moderation.

The technical aspects are valid concerns though. Generally when programming.dev experience federation issues, it's also with lemmy.world, due to its size.

I upvoted in the straw poll comment, but just adding in my two cents here where it feels appropriate.

I’m of the same mind regarding the recent mod controversy. That alone doesn’t really influence my thoughts on a community moving, I generally think that such an issue would prompt users to change their home instance.

I’m firmly in the “move instances because .world is a huge, centralized instance in a decentralized ecosystem” camp.

I mostly just consume content here and don’t actively post, so treat my opinion on the matter accordingly. Will resubscribe to the new community when/if it moves regardless, and will stay subbed if it stays here.

Thank you for your comment

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

Also FYI, it seems you pinned this post on https://lemmy.world/c/football, but probably because you did it from a remote account, it is not pinned on https://lemm.ee/c/football@lemmy.world nor https://sopuli.xyz/c/football@lemmy.world

Again, another argument to move to an instance where all the mods have local accounts

[-] UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago

Thanks for pointing it out. I've re-pinned it with the local automod

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

Thanks, it works!

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

Thank you for your comments!

In my dreams, a new instance is built completely around soccer/football and this great sport gets the focus and attention on Lemmy it deserves across various leagues and geographies, with team forums for ultras.

Hello,

The issue is that we don't have that many admins. As you can see from the activity, the interest on that topic is quite limited. Having a single community now seems enough.

The one team community I know of is !gunners@lemmy.world
