Hello everyone,
The most current active community is !dataisbeautiful@lemmy.ml.
Due to all the discussions that are now happening on !fediverse@lemmy.world about moving away from lemmy.ml due to their abuse moderation practices (https://feddit.nl/post/16246531), should we consider creating an alternative.
!dataisbeautiful@lemmy.world exists but seems unmanaged and I would rather avoid another LW community.
Maybe we could contact mander.xyz at !mander@mander.xyz to see what they think?
sh.itjust.works seems very solid
It is indeed very solid, but my reasoning was more to highlight mander.xyz, which is science-focused.
They do a great work, and maybe having a “popular” community might help them (although that might already be happening with their science memes community)
Yea I requested the current community to keep an eye on it since the mod was not active. I haven’t had a chance to properly promote it yet.
Mander.xyz is a solid instance and I think this community would do well there. It would fit in nicely with the other communities on there, and it might get more posts as a result
Ultimately I’m happy with wherever people would like to go with that community :)
I’d suggest creating a new community somewhere that isn’t lemmy.ml because of their moderation and lemmy.world because it’s just too big and we shoukd spread out the communities a bit. But depending on how established is the community on LW then it would be better to stick to it.

It’s not really active, so no need to stick with it. We can probably just post an announcement to it once the new community is created.
Because I’m barely awake at this point it seems I just repeated your post. Lol
+1 for mander.xyz. I’d also like to take this opportunity to see if @sal@mander.xyz would be interesting in joining me on https://fediverser.network, as it is one of the most interesting topic-based instances. It would be a great home to all the science-related subreddits and moderators that would be interested in migrating.
Yes, sorry, I remember looking at it in the past but got distracted. Is there somewhere where I can find information about what to do to join you and contribute? Should I create a reddit account?
The GitHub page would be the initial place to get started. It works as a separate service that needs to run alongside your Lemmy docker stack. You will need a reddit API key to allow users to login/register via Reddit.
I just advise to wait a bit because the current release is still working based on Lemmy 0.18.3 database schema. I will update it later this week.
I suggest lemmy.zip
A moderately sized instance with great stability and performance, a very diligent and transparent admin, and fantastic federation with virtually everyone.
Pinging @ElCanut@jlai.lu too as he’s a regular poster on !dataisbeautiful@lemmy.ml.
