Following the other thread (550 upvotes and 366 comments at the moment: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417), one of the complaints that people had what that some communities only exist on lemmy.ml and don't have alternatives on other instances.

Let's discuss this and see if we can organize together.

I suggest to have one topic per comment so that is is easier to discuss.

Any instance recommendations? Maybe mander.xyz? (@[email protected])

Can we make some root cause analysis? Why is it a problem that certain communities are only on one instance?

Or better, why do communities need some relationship to an instance?

The respective moderators (@[email protected], @[email protected]) have been AWOL for 4 years.

Possible alternative:

[email protected] (kbin development is fragile?)

Any instance recommendations?

@[email protected], were you able to find any RSS news sources?

I've figured it out @[email protected] . The thing that was bugging me was where we should host the autonomous and self driving technology community and the whole time it was bloody obvious. @[email protected] can we host it on your instance?

I asked the futurology admins about adding additional communities that fit the futurology theme, but they seem uninterested. I'm not sure why, as having what is essentially a single-community instance seems a bit strange to me, but it's ultimately their call.

@[email protected] and @[email protected], would you reconsider increasing the number of communities on your instance, provided they fit the futurology theme?

I found a couple. I'm saddened that https://selfdrivenews.com doesn't have an RSS feed though

Could not find any current alternatives.

Any instance recommendations? Maybe programming.dev? Or a maker/craft-oriented instance?

Wait for a SW instance?
