It’s nice to have backups but doesn’t this just fracture the already small lemmy piracy community even more? Maybe running it as a mirror without the possibility to engage would be better.
Relevant: https://xkcd.com/927/
I think it's ok to have both. Eventually this will be implemented which will make this moot: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818
But also, I think lemmy won't be able to handle the load well and they won't hear my advice on how to prepare, so I think it's better I take responsibility for the community I've been nurturing for the past 10 years, myself
You’re not wrong about the load.
Until that’s implemented (which is great btw, didn’t know that was coming) - my concern is Reddit refugees will see ghost town communities and just head back to Reddit. If we try getting our small community to appear more united, it’ll encourage others to ditch Reddit all together.
As for the multi-lemmy feature - is that gonna be something we can just one click subscribe to? Or we’ll need to build out the multi ourselves? If the latter, then the concern about new users seeing ghost towns still stands.
meh.. the same problem exists on reddit.
