You rang?

Awesome! Let me know if you have any questions, or if there is any way I might able to help out.

I kinda wish we’d merge them… which I know goes against the grain of how the fediverse is supposed to operate.

Not necessarily:

One of the advantages of a decentralized platform like Lemmy is the ability to create parallel communities on the same topic. “You don’t like how a community is being moderated? Go to another instance and start your own community!” (with or without blackjack and hookers)

However, this is a double-edged sword. The creation of multiple communities on the same (or similar) topics can also fragment the userbase, leading to very sparsely populated communities.

I think it only makes sense to have multiple communities on the same topic if each version serves a specific niche or has a unique moderation style. I think most of the examples you’ve given would be suitable for consolidation into two or three communities.

More info on consolidating communities in the pinned thread on !fedigrow@lemmy.zip.

What are your thoughts?

!guitars@lemmy.world

Would you consider making a consolidation post in !fedigrow@lemmy.zip?

We have a pinned guide with step-by-step instructions.

You should be able to post to !india@piefed.social from your sh.itjust.works account. Have you tried that?

!blender@lemmy.world

Also:

• !blender@lemmy.ml
• !blender@lemm.ee (RIP)
• !blender@sopuli.xyz
• !blender_3D_animation@lemmy.ml
• !blenderanimation@programming.dev
• !blender@kbin.social (RIP)
• !blender_channel@video.blender.org

Perhaps some consolidation might be warranted here?

Are you aware that lemm.ee shut down? Any communities will need to be recreated on another instance.

I left Reddit voluntarily during the 2023 APIcalypse. Still use my account occasionally to promote the fediverse to those who are still there.

I’m glad they were caught, and I think it was the right decision in this situation, but the case sets an interesting precedent.

You start posting.

Yet.

Have lemmy.zip defederated from feddit.uk as well? If not, why not? Is there a legal difference?

pretty hands-off

Given that the single admin @SDF@lemmy.sdf.org hasn’t been active in two years, yeah, I’d say that counts as “pretty hands-off”. The SDF organization as a whole will probably be around for decades to come, but they don’t seem to care that much about their Lemmy instance.

communicative about issues

Aren’t most admins this way?

*glances at your instance name*

Ah…

I miss the ol’ switcharoo and beetlejuicing

The !lemmaroo@lemmy.world chain has been slowly growing over the past couple of years, and I just created !beetlejuicing@lemm.ee.

!beetlejuicing@lemm.ee

Thanks, that’s awesome!

pinging me here usually works

Might you consider including your Lemmy username on the about page? I feel like most people don’t know that lemmyverse.net is run by tgxn.
