They want to put out the fire. Let us show them the strength of the Hydra. Cut off one head and a thousand more shall take its place. We all remember what happened when they tried to end the piratebay.

Blaze OP ,

Status page: lemmy-status.org/endpoints/_lemmy-world

Cpo ,

Exactly for that reason I have created a second account on lemm.ee.

There is even a nice Python script to propagate your subscriptions and block lists to one or more other accounts.

Find it here: github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate

Fluba ,

Here’s another GUI tool that I used to migrate to my current instance. Kudos to both devs!

Cpo ,

Great alternative! Thanks!

nosut ,

I did the same thing. Based off comments like this though it kinda seems like lemm.ee may turn into a lemmy.world 2.0.

Hopefully more will join smaller instances.

This single post :
lemmy.world/post/2874044
lemmy.ca/post/2904207
…has a comment from an hexbear user who thinks this is very funny.
(hidden from here because we defederated them)

waterbogan ,

I couldnt see the comment, but that would make sense that a hexbear user could be behind this - lot of effort though and lots of narcicissm needed too

Or maybe they made a brigade ?
There are many comments about this inside this post just under that comment which I made twice.
About the comment you could not see :
user name is “Alaskaball…”

Stinkywinks ,

Why are people attacking a msg board?

Wiz ,

Because there’s a very small chance one of the message board users might click on a link and get scammed for money?

Stinkywinks ,

Not sure if people dumb enough to click mystery links and hand Nigerian princes bit coin use these boards, but gl i guess lol

Pandemic100 ,

Never underestimate stupidity. You’ll always be surprised.

Wiz ,

If you spam 1000 links, and 2% of people are really dumb, that’s 20 suckers to steal from.

That pond always has fish in it!

jerrimu ,

I need another instance so I can lurk when this happens.

Nighed ,
@Nighed@sffa.community avatar

If it’s just for lurking, look for a small one to help spread the load.

Try the one I’m on if your into sci-fi or fantasy

Blaze OP ,

Hey, good to see you here! I always like your posts on !fantasy

I’m mostly in the Cosmere communities, I need to read more books before I can contribute elsewhere!

+1 to this. Imho it’s not good for lemmy as a whole if people are concentrated on a few large instances. Any time one of those major instances experience issues, the effect is going be major.

Blaze OP ,

Have a look at here to know how to find one: sopuli.xyz/comment/1603292

OverfedRaccoon ,

That’s why I created this lemm.ee account. It seemed silly just waiting for lemmy.world to come back up all the time. That’s the beauty of the Fediverse. 😁

ijeff ,
@ijeff@lemdro.id avatar

Performance is also overall better via other instances. We were hesitant about migrating /r/android given the LW downtimes but ended up doing so when Cole offered us a place on lemdro.id. Awesome uptime and great performance thus far with his scaling solution - keeps costs low as well.

The more decentralized, the better!

OverfedRaccoon ,

That was definitely a controversial move. 😂

I think it’s “easier” when you first come to Lemmy (or similar) to join the biggest server with all the communities. Being able to interact with communities everywhere, despite where your home instance is, takes some time to conceptualize. I actually think Lemmy has been easier to understand with that than, say, Mastodon.

ijeff ,
@ijeff@lemdro.id avatar

Ideally this will be addressed by improved community discovery functionality in the apps and Lemmy-UI so folks don’t need to really think about it.

I agree Lemmy is easier than Mastodon.

Countmacula ,

I decided to make on on Lemm.ee. Seems pretty cool!

YaksDC ,

I would love to try a new instance but then I have to recreate a rather large block list.

Is there a way to copy your block list from one instance to another?

Blaze OP ,

github.com/CMahaff/lasim

YaksDC ,

Thank you!

Blaze OP ,

You are welcome!

timou ,

And for a CLI version, there’s lemmy_migrate.

Blackmist ,

Feels like this should be a core part of Lemmy, like just export and import a big string of data.

MrFusion ,

Well this is truly amazing. Thank you, Blaze

I know they suck at keeping your data safe, I know they are a monopoly, but… thats an odd choice of words

DarthBueller ,

Downvoted for use of “cuck” - I don’t know anything about you, but your word choice causes me to have angry feelings toward you.

Very_Bad_Janet ,

You can also create an alt on kbin and subscribe to Lemmy communities there. I'm posting this from kbin.social.

They are doing their best, but the users can help by spreading out to smaller instances. It’s also much better for the fediverse as a whole to have many smaller instances instead of a few giant ones.

Maybe you want to join lemmy.today? It’s located in Oregon (western USA) and is literally never down. I know since I’m addicted to Lemmy and I’m on it all the time now… :)

Also who doesnt like that cute little Lemmy icon it has. :) Looks like a very surprised lemming, or very happy one…

Blaze OP ,

Cute icon indeed!

I remember talking to you about it a few days ago, has the admin clarified the redundancy question?

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

He is more than open to having several admins :) He is a Linux devops guy who is doing consulting in the area. It makes sense to have several admins due to the “bus factor” or what we shall call it.

Just have to find someone willing to help out. You know anyone?

PeleSpirit ,

We don’t block any other instances. We will keep it that way unless it becomes a moderation problem.

Not for me for this reason, this can only lead to disaster.

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

If it does, it’s not hard to fix. :)

PeleSpirit ,

It’s not the fixing part, it’s the theory behind it. When the instance makes this a major selling point, it usually is trying to attract and actually attracts a certain crowd.

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

So far it hasn’t attracted any bad behavior and the admin is a super nice guy. Works in tech (of course, who doesn’t here, right? ).

I think it’s not a major selling point either, just a bit of “open for all until we get actual problems”.

There was some guy from exploding heads trying to get users to his instance however. They don’t seem very nice at all, and seemingly blocked by a lot of instances.

SnowdenHeroOfOurTime ,

I have like four different instances I’m using with accounts on each. I’m not sure the best route but feel like I should only have one or two accounts. Probably will keep the four for now just to see which instances seem most reliable. I’ll try and keep this one in the back of my mind in case I need another instance though :)

In my experience lemmy.world and reddthat go down a decent amount, especially the latter.

Buelldozer ,
@Buelldozer@lemmy.world avatar

Okay done. I’ll give the instance a try and see how it goes. :)

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Cool, call me when you arrive… :)

Sanctus ,

Hi from my alt. I just have like 4 alt accounts I switch between.

Blaze OP ,

Same here, even a bit more I think

Blaze ,

Seems down again lemmy-status.org, testing if I can see this comment from other instances

timou ,

Well, I just created two alt accounts on sh.itjust.works and jlai.lu, copying my subscriptions with lemmy_migrate. Not too difficult, but we definitely need a simpler way to login into different servers…

Bienvenue!

timou ,

Merci 😁 Plus on est de fous… jlailu va peut-être devenir mon main en fait.
