  • Who needs to block LW when you can just be on an instance that's 5 days behind federating with them, due to their own failure to keep their instance properly up to date.

    • Its up to date, they just haven't enabled the option to actually fix the problem that came in the new update.

      I think .world is a net positive to the fediverse, but its still too big.

  • Serious question: is Lemmy.world a problem if it gets big?

    We want Lemmy to be successful. Users join and they're bound to concentrate in an instance that looks like it is the biggest (that's where I would sign up as a newbie). Other instance content still is consumable and interactable. Is this a problem?

    • Someone on Lemmy told me this and it really stuck with me even though I always believed it even if I couldn’t put it into words.

      Having only one good solution means you’re only one good solution away from having no good solutions at all. That person wrote it more succinctly however, I’m worse at this :p

      • True ideally.....but I would think having people on Lemmy is the main priority. Having a diversified Lemmy is secondary. If Lemmy.world pulls some shit then getting people to change instance shouldn't be as difficult as getting people to change platform.

        Lemmy competes against single solutions like Reddit. It's still better to have an overpopulated Lemmy.world rather than Reddit.

    • It's just that we should avoid putting all our fruit into one basket. Lemmy.world has some problematic policies and lack of moderation on bigotry.

  • I see plenty of non LW instances. Its balanced fine IMO. I'd prefer to have a big instance where new users can join and see a populated active feed.

  • In a perfect world the lemmy communities would be neatly diversified onto the 571 instances with each holding the main 51 communities.
