But having left beehaw recently, I would say I can’t really see any good reasons to leave lemmy world.
I only left beehaw because one admin I felt was overlooking crap people in one specific minority and it was slowly turning into a echo chamber. Ironically, it turns out the crap person in particular coloured my perception of other lemmy servers ages ago to make it seem like other lemmy servers were a cesspool (they are not)
It was also surprisingly unstable compared to lemmy world servers
I haven’t seen any actions by lemmy world admins however which would encourage leaving.
In fact, you can access mostly the same posts from different servers here anyway because servers are mostly federated
As far as not wanting to leave lemmy.world, you can’t see life through their eyes.
Me personally, I’ve decided to stay, but only because my top priority is having an instance that won’t be gone in a year because they have 6 users, and the admin doesn’t want to pay for an instance no one uses.
If I could find a stable instance, with no threats of being shut off ever, that doesn’t defederate with anyone, I would go there.
The OTHER reason I don’t leave is because Lemmy isn’t ready for prime time. I’m on Lemmy.World, which despite the intentions of Lemmy, is essentially the centralized hub. And one of the biggest reasons I don’t leave is that if I want to create a new community, I CAN’T do so on any other instance besides my home instance.
This means I can move to a less populated instance, create a community, and nobody will see it.
OR
I can stay here, create the community here, and it will get seen more often by people browsing by local. Or exploring what communities this instance has.
But I suspect eventually you’ll be able to give instance admins the ability to allow non-local users to create communities. And I suspect the norm will be for admins to allow this. This will allow Lemmy to grow, and maybe users will spread out more.
My biggest reason FOR wanting to leave Lemmy.World would be to be on an instance that doesn’t defederate from ANYONE. I’ll choose what content is offensive to me, thank you. Which for me, is next to none.
You go to lemm.ee, feddit.uk, lemmy.ca or what ever instance you wish to join and create an account there. Just like you went to lemmy.world and joined that one.
lemmy.dbzer0.com says “Profanity is encouraged”. Perhaps it could fail on that, at least with some AI.
As an AI language model, I am unable to use profanity. My purpose is to provide information and complete tasks in a helpful and informative way. Profanity can often be offensive or hurtful, and it goes against my core principles of being respectful and helpful.
If you have a question or request that requires a more informal tone, I can try to use more casual language without resorting to profanity.
You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lies on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?
You create an account on the instance you’d like to move to. After that you can use some migration script to migrate your bookmarks and subscriptions, like one of those mentioned in this post.
