Seems to me the fear of overloading one instance over another will not happen after all.

But I do hope the Threadiverse can hit 500,000 consistent active users by the end of summer.

Give me that hopium guys! 💉

I imagine any time a given server's quality drops, people will just move to another one. I had login issues for a few days on lemmy.world and started using lemmy.ml.

I think its a good thing, healthy for the ecosystem that there's not only redundancy where one site having a moment doesn't kill everyone's ability to use lemmy, and also provides a clear incentive for individual servers to provide good service.

I went from beehaw to lemmy.world and then to lemmy.ca all good changes and am very happy with lemmy.ca as my home base.

Were you able to export your list of subscriptions and import into another instance? I thought that would be a feature, but I can't find it on lemmy.world

[-] CMahaff@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

It's not a feature of Lemmy itself yet, though I've seen one person attempting a PR and there are issues for it. It will arrive at some point but could be awhile.

I made a tool to do it (subscriptions, blocks, and profile settings) in the meantime: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim

Very cool, thanks! It's funny, because I went to your repo and I already had it starred. I've been wandering through so many instances/apps/websites during this Lemmy process - I've lost track of some things I've stumbled upon in the last month,

[-] _spiffy@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

No I just logged onto the different instances and manually copied over my content, I have only one community that so far isn't very active that I run so that was easy to move over as well. I'm sure its a roadmap feature, but who knows what the development road for lemmy is going to be now.

Isn't that instance full of Canadians?

Can I suggest you lot make a AskACanadian or AskCanada community? There's a photo I've been wishing to share and ask Canadians about for a few weeks now but can't on Redit cos I'm banned. Either that or tell me which communiy would be ok me asking the question?

[-] TruckBC@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

I love this idea. Thank you, we will do that.

!canada!canada@lemmy.ca probably isn't going to be the best place in the long term

[-] _spiffy@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

/c/canada@lemmy.ca is probably the place to do it. Doesn't appear tonbe any rules about not asking questions.

Thank you moose whisperer! I shall reply again once over posted my question so you have a chance to have some input.

I wish you many happy 'ice skatings' from Barry of Grandad Britain!

[-] Ado@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I started with beehaw a month ago, then lemmy.ml, and then lemmy.world. I switch between ml and world bc i dont really care about my account itself. And if one is slow, I go to the other. It ends up being pretty convenient.
