Hello everyone,
There has been some discussions lately about the moderation of some LW communities (see !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for details)
Which made me think that we currently don’t have any active LW mod, the only remaining one being @UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev
So why would we not consider moving this community to another instance?
For people curious why moving the community to another instance would be beneficial:
- LW has a 7-days delay with instances like aussie.zone (https://feddit.uk/post/18336398)
- Having most of the instances on LW give a lot of power to the LW admins and mods, while spreading them out could be more ideal from a power distribution perspective
- Previous communities have already migrated successfully, like !casualconversation@lemmy.world
Instances option
- https://lemm.ee/ is nice, good uptime, skilled admins, and very low defederation list
- https://lemm.ee/legal
- https://status.lemm.ee/
- https://lemm.ee/post/401063
Alternatively, https://lemmy.zip/ is very well run
They regularly post very detailed updates on !home@lemmy.zip such as this one: https://lemmy.zip/post/27236300
They also offer very detailed information on those pages:
FYI, lemmy.cafe still has an issue with pictures, you can see it on https://lemmy.cafe/?dataType=Post&listingType=All&sort=TopDay
The admin is investigating, but no success for the last 10 days
There are reported issues with recent Lemmy versions. It’s probably related to that. Probably not a reason to avoid an instance.
Lemmy.zip, lemmy.cafe and lemm.ee all run 0.19.7
You have the link above to lemmy.cafe not showing the thumbnails.
Lemmy.zip and lemm.ee are fine
- https://lemmy.zip/?dataType=Post&listingType=All&sort=New
- https://lemm.ee/?dataType=Post&listingType=All&sort=TopDay
So this is instance-specific, the admin acknowledged it when I brought it up
I’m not across the Lemmy.cafe issues but they aren’t the only one seeing thumbnails fail intermittently. Here’s the issue on github where a fix has been made in Lemmy to help (but is not yet released): https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5196
My point though is that an instance having an issue at a point in time isn’t a reason to discount it. All instances have issues occasionally. It was only last month that Lemmy.ee was having inbound federation issues.
