I’m worried that all the new large communities are hosted at a single instance, lemmy.ml
Really 3 big players right now.
https://browse.feddit.de/
Lemmy.ml Lemmy.world Beehaw
Those 3 servers are like currently 70% of Lemmy traffic.
I wonder how feasible it would be to move a community to another instance without users noticing. It would be cool if there was a mechanism to silently update the link.
Sucks that the UI doesn't auto-link that for you.
that Is currently an issue on the radar. Lets hope it gets picked up quickly
Yeah, but we can help out in the meantime!

Bummer that they’re vetting all new subscribers for an iPhone community. Seems like an aggressive gatekeeping tactic for a benign topic.
They are? I was able to subscribe immediately. Wonder if it’s just being slow now. A few things I’ve subscribed to the last day or so have been slow to show up on my subscription list and I assumed it was the influx from Rexxit bogging things down a bit.
The approved me pretty quickly, but I got "Subscribe Pending" when I clicked subscribe.
I honestly thought “subscribe pending” was some kind of automated thing. I’ve subscribed to a ton of communities and gotten plenty of pending statuses. If I wait about 5 to 10 seconds, they all change to “subscribed”.
I've heard in other lemmy communities that the vetting is mostly an attempt at an anti-spammer( and anti-troll) measure.
is there a way to browse the newest subs in the instance?
There are two excellent lists I’ve seen. One is a community/sub browser made by someone on feddit.de, the other is a comprehensive list of reddit subs that have been duplicated in the Fediverse. (That one is surprisingly huge!). I didn’t make note of either of those, but surely someone will be along shortly with the links.
