[email protected] is one offspring

I’m worried that all the new large communities are hosted at a single instance, lemmy.ml

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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!

is there a way to browse the newest subs in the instance?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

Bummer that they’re vetting all new subscribers for an iPhone community. Seems like an aggressive gatekeeping tactic for a benign topic.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.
