came from reddit. lemmy principles seem to align with me open for everyone and communities run their own instance if required
Why does lemmy.world, the largest instance, not simply eat the other instances?
Then it would just be Reddit all over again.
is there a !woosh for the replies to your comment?
Centralization is bad
I try to avoid eating sh.it, but you do you.
I eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast!
You eat spez for breakfast?
So we end up with one instance having to serve millions of users… for free… Hmm yes that’s going to work.
People on Lemmy are not going to like it but either Lemmy takes off and people will have to find ways to fund their instances or Lemmy dies.
We’re in a nice period right now where kind people are able to run instances on donations or from their own pocket. But it’s not going to last.
Now that’s only a little sus
robots need community too! /s
I am happy to contribute! I think it’s time for me to move on from Reddit. I am excited to help this platform grow and become something great - I just need to become less of a lurker.
Former lurkers unite!
Was a reddit lurker for years and became a massive contributor.
I am looking forward to continuing thag momentum. Heh.
Awesome!
99.5% uptime is very impressive for a community that is experiencing such explosive growth.
But… is that even a good thing? I mean, the point of the fediverse is to distribute the load across instances.
The upside is join-lemmy.org always puts the smaller but growing instances at the top to somewhat distribute the load for new users. Also there are new general purpose instances popping up, I quite like it and as long as there is no drama you can access most of the Fediverse from almost any instance.
If it gets too much they can just stop letting people join, can’t they? I think for the beginning a little bit of centralizing will make stuff easier. For the long run it might be less desirable.
The point is that everyone CAN start an instance and become bigger. It’s the users that decide.
I like this way of putting it. It’s like that post that was around a few days ago discussing lemmy as being “CEO-proof”.
It’s not really I guess, but if an instance got big and started being unfriendly/unreasonable to users they could just go to another instance and still be part of the federation.
Glad to be part of this new phenomenon. Long live Lemmy.
Please someone tell me how to delete accounts off of memmy app it drives me nuts seeing both because it loads the one I don’t want to load.
Add that as a feature request on his GitHub. If you don’t know how to I’ll do it for you
Alternatively the discord server just got a feedback channel, you can suggest it there
the little engine that could
I got bombarded by ads for this recently: is that the Jack in the Box clown? Or just a generic one?
It’s a generic clown. The Little Engine That Could is a classic children’s novel.
That’s because I brought snacks, who doesn’t like the most finger friendly food?
Nice numbers there. I just wanted an instance with IPv6 already enabled and randomly landed on lemmy.world. No regrets :)
I did read that @Ruud said in a post that Lemme.world can handle 1 million users as of right now.
He hopes that other instances get more traction so the crowds are distributed.
Go daddy
Nice, what is this k6qw instance about, though? So many users and just 1 community without any posts?
It does seem a little out of balance. We should ask @gaylord@lemmy.k6qw.com how/why they’re personally reviewed 38,000 email-less sign up statements in under 7 days and who they think is populating his server (according to one of his posts from a week ago).
(not sure my tag syntax was correct… maybe @gaylord@lemmy.k6qw.com autolinking works?)
Over in kbin.social… wondering if there will be a simple way to consolidate duplicate magazines/communities
It’d be interesting to have metamagazines or something along the like. There’s a lot of repeat mags out there that would benefit from an easy way to share/federate at a smaller scale than per-instance.
I’d like something in this vein to view multiple communities of the same topic at once (like folders/multi-reddits/etc.) too.
Another idea, if possible, might be to have Lemmy search for existing communities/magazines in linked instances as you’re trying to make a community, similar to how it searches for already posted links, so that folks are given a heads up to those existing communities. If they want to go on to make their own local version then it’s just up to them.
