9 LW communities in the top 10. 5 out of 10 from 11 to 20.

Lol !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone is at number 14 and it's only existed less than two and a half days.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago

Damn that's impressive. I guess we fedifolk are already practiced at packing up and moving when the local authority turns to shit

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

I may say this as a LW user, but LBZ feels like home and the whole community was rightfully pretty hurt about the 196 drama. Glad everyone stood together and made it clear what was up, and that Ada’s work in particular is much appreciated

Very well done by the community indeed

In another month or so when LW updates (the synching issue will actually be delayed even further beyond that they said), will this really be as much of an issue anymore?

If they want to provide hosting services, then let them? We can always move if we don't like them, and let's face it that some of those giant communities are fairly toxic and would remain so wherever they go.

Then again perhaps I am speaking of things that I do not know here: out of the top 10 communities listed there, I am not subscribed to any of them.

LW is trying to be Reddit 2.0 with all the excessive moderation and “real” email address requirements. Hell, it might be even worse.

“real” email address requirements

First time I hear about it. So you can't just register with any email provider?

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They don't allow burner addresses.

I don't know.

Hm, I registered with my own domain... Worked fine

[–] yuri@pawb.social 4 points 1 month ago

nice to know they’re blacklisting burners instead of whitelisting “known” email domains at least!

We need a server that just proxies the main instances but filters out every post containing "Trump" or "Musk".

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

yes exactly thank you for this link :)

if you need any help setting up that new instance, let me help you :D i'm located in austria, if that matters.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you have experience in sysadmin of Lemmy instances? 😄

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i have some experience in sysadmin in general, but not specifically lemmy yet. let me write you a DM.

[–] Valeria@feddit.kyiv.ua 2 points 1 month ago

I’d endorse you once you make apolitical.org

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I’d subscribe to that one.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I’m in lemmy world. Is that bad?

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 5 points 1 month ago

It's okay. It's usually the concentration that communities rather than users that's a bit concerning

[–] yuri@pawb.social 3 points 1 month ago

if it doesn’t feel bad you’re probably fine

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Why world it be?

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 3 points 1 month ago

I don't know if LW is too big, but there is such a thing a too big. Ideally no single instance should have to use "federation-style" synchronization within itself. Below that size economies of scale might justify growth, above... not so much.
