Hei,

olen Facebookissa yli 50 000 jäsenen Maata pitkin matkustavat -ryhmän ylläpitäjä ja yritän alkaa vähentää meidän riippuvuutta miljardöörimediasta. Friendican kautta löysin feddit.orgin, jonne viikko sitten tein tilin ja perustin meille yhteisön https://feddit.org/c/maatapitkinmatkustus.

Nyt ymmärrän tätä Lemmyä vähän paremmin ja tajuan, että olisin voinut perustaa yhteisön tänne Sopuliinkin. Feddit.org nimittäin on luokiteltu paikallispalvelimeksi, ja yhteisön kieliksi minun piti määrittää saksa ja englanti, vaikka oikeasti käymme keskustelumme suomeksi. Toinen ongelma tuli esiin, kun tänään latasin puhelimelleni Voyagerin: saan sillä yhteyden kaikkiin muihin palvelimiin, mutta feddit.org ei jostain syystä vastaa – onkohan se kovin tavallista?

Kannattaisikohan minun siirtää yhteisö tänne ennen kuin se kasvaa kovin suureksi? Käytännössä kai pitäisi poistaa yhteisö Feddit.orgista ja perustaa tänne uusi? Mutta mahtuuko tänne kovin isoa yhteisöä? Olisiko jokin muu palvelin sittenkin parempi?

Dear Fediversalists,

I am new here. I moderate a 50 000 members Finnish language Facebook group on no-fly travelling since 2015. I want to reduce our dependence on billionaire owned media, so we are trying to start an expansion here on the free side. I learned about Feddit.org and founded the community https://feddit.org/c/maatapitkinmatkustus.

Do you think this was the best move to make? Maybe we should move to another instance before our community grows too big here?

There are some issues I am unsure about. First, I have realised after having created the Finnish language community, that feddit.org is listed as a local instance of German speaking countries and so I could not choose Finnish as the community language, I had to “officially” choose English and German instead, though we are discussing in Finnish in the community.

Second, I do not know how big our community could grow on this server. Maybe the server will decide some day that there is no room for us anymore?

Third, I am concerned about how Feddit.org is going. I just installed Voyager, but I cannot connect to Feddit.org. I could connect to any other instance with it. What if the server has to close – would our community disappear with all the data?

On the other hand, I am happy using Lemmy. The user interface is easy and intuitive (maybe because I happen to belong to the net forums and blogs reader generation). So what would you recommend to a Finnish language group with a potential to grow to (tens of) thousands?

When I created a group, I had to choose German and/or English as the language of my group, but I would like to have Finnish as the language of my group. Could we develop Feddit to have more group and discussion languages?

Hello,

I just created a group Maata pitkin matkustavat (https://feddit.org/c/maatapitkinmatkustus), and I can see it is listed here. I still can't find it with the Group search in Friendica. How could I make my group visible there?

Hello,

I would like to create a new community, but the Create page does not work. I have filled up everything (it is in Finnish), but the green "Luo" (Create) button does not submit my data, nor lead anywhere. I can keep pushing the button, but it does not work. What to do?

Best wishes Santeri
