Yes, I'll give people some more time to discuss before making another post.
Just FYI, @[email protected] and I are mods on [email protected]
I might post there for a bit just to see if there's any quirks or issues.
Flairs are on their way to Lemmy. So that shouldn't be a factor.
I'm vehemently against moving back to Lemmy World.
I propose taking over [email protected] it's a football instance. It's always up and up-to-date and it allows for smaller teams to host their communities there too, which should help grow the football community on Lemmy overall.

Lemmy 1.0 is planned for Autumn 2025, and it's not a set in stone date.

Same. We see how much impact the Lemm.ee shutdown has, imagine what it would be if LW did the same tomorrow.

For context, this instance is part of the https://communick.news/c/communick_news_network network
The admin is known for being against donations-based instances:

I also personally had quite a few unpleasant interactions with him (the most recent being today: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45833491/19184026), but that's me.
I'm not going to pretend that rgullis versus you isn't a mess. But I don't think it should get in the way of finding c/football a good home.
I would say Piefed.social.
I just migrated a community from lemm.ee to there today, it went quite well: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45833491/19184026
Flairs are cool, and they exist for posts and users

You'd be quite welcome on [email protected]. The instance has been running almost two years already, it is an instance exclusively for football communities and I can potentially customize it if you come up with any reasonable idea, a matchthreader bot? Integration with a Matrix room? All possible.
Not world please
I second this.
I just moved my account and (tiny) communities I moderate to piefed.social . The migration is pretty seamless, all post got copied over to new community.
My experience (under 24h)has been OK so far. There is many quirks that came with it tho, I am still digging all the feature available.
Nice Manchester City flair!
Adding this as a first level comment: sopuli.xyz has been around for 4 years and hosts several popular communities like [email protected] and [email protected]
It is also hosted in Europe by Finnish admins.
I have to agree, any instance could die at any time. I made the mistake to sign-up in lemmy.world, which was wrong, because lemmy should be many instances and not 4-5 instances. Same goes with commuties
I known I have a community in lemmy.world, but I'm about to move it looking for instance if not lemmy.ca.
Again, we left Reddit because didn't want to be controlled by 1 person but my many, instances and communities.
And yes not lemmy.world, pfied would work I guess.
What about fanaticus.social instance? I will post if I find any other instance.
Lemmy 0.19.3, are the admins even still around?
Out of 2 admins 1 is active. Lemmy version will be a problem, I didn't notice that.
