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:
In my dreams, a new instance is built completely around soccer/football and this great sport gets the focus and attention on Lemmy it deserves across various leagues and geographies, with team forums for ultras.
Hello,
The issue is that we don’t have that many admins. As you can see from the activity, the interest on that topic is quite limited. Having a single community now seems enough.
The one team community I know of is !gunners@lemmy.world
!football@soccer.forum would’ve been perfect
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
We would love to hear the community’s opinion on this. If there there is a clear desire for the community to migrate, we would be happy facilitate such a move.
Please comment with your thoughts, if you want to stay or migrate. And if you want to migrate, we are open to instance suggestions.

Hello,
It has been a week, how long do you think we should keep this poll?
Hey, announcement will be made soon™. The poll have been stable for a while, I don’t think it will change much.
