It just redirects to https://join-lemmy.org/ for me
-
I wasn't affected by this directly, but from what I saw it was all handled extremely well - lots of notice so users could choose new instances and mods could coordinate moving communities elsewhere. Makes me optimistic for the fediverse.
-
As a former lemmeezen, RIP, F, it was a good trip, quite decent service, but now it's time to spread out.
db0 is being nice so far, and I even got an account on my country's lemmy.
-
How’s dbz?
-
db0 way of managing the community is great but PieFed is a lot better by what I'm noticing and they dont have a PieFed instance. quokk.au is close to that if you want to jump ship to PieFed meanwhile
-

-
Confirm is ded. I moved from there. RIP.
-
quokk.au is nice too if you want to use PieFed instead since db0 has no PieFed instance yet

Refuge here, moved to joined a new server, couldn't get my subscriptions moved over so I just resubscribed to each one manually, annoying but not the end of the world.
I am looking into the idea of hosting my own instance on something like a $5 linod just to make sure this never happens again. But I don't even know if it's worth it, or possible with that. You can tell I've only had the idea not the motivation.
-
i also had to move instances and the estonian language community. (to lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz, lemmy.blahaj.zone might be defederated from it)

Refugee families 🚣

Currently in between .zip and dbzer0 seeing which vibe is right
-
True story I actually meant to switch to .zip and I had both it and dbzer0 open in tabs for a few days (deciding between them) and on d-day for .ee I opened one and signed in and did the verification... and then realized where I was. And actually I'm happy with my accidental choice. It's rad here.
-
How’s zip so far?
-
It's ok I just don't like how they handle images. When I click on an image it redirects to open in a browser (on mobile) or new tab (on desktop). Dbzer0 doesn't do this. I suspect they handle images more like lemm.ee did.
-
its good but I feel like I ran into less not likable ppl on lemm.ee, maybe they were already blocked instancewide or something
Or maybe ppl here are more argumentative these days lol

… as someone whos considering switching out of world my eyes are open.
-
i used to be on .world but quickly went to .ee then i wanted to switch like you and was looking at db0 but im more interested in PieFed and they have no PieFed instance yet. quokk.au is close to a db0 equivalent (not really but its an anarchist instance too) meanwhile
-
-
I miss it.
-
Same, it was a good instance.
-
it still show up on search engine results lol i wonder hows that gonna work out now when people click to see a post and see its been shutdown
-
-
Sadge. It was a pretty solid instance.
-
Done did their final
sudo docker compose down
-
Bad like brian over here. Signed up for lemme just to be kicked off the first server. Hopefully it’s an extremely rare event. If world goes down, I’m out.
I hear Digg is close to launching its beta or whatever..
-
There is going to need to be some centralization of some form for this to work. The fediverse is a mess right now but its such a good idea.
-
What, centralisation has the opposite effect. It makes things worse. Imagine lemmy.world shutting down (the biggest instance), lemmy would be fucked.
Decentralisation is to be encouraged. So if an instance shuts down, it’s not the end of the world.
Like how basically all lemm.ee communities were migrated.
-
When I say centralization I don't mean letting a few control the many. This is what I mean.
- Figure out what the alternatives are for these sites we don't need several Twitter alternatives.
- Each site needs a front page, Accessible on the Fediverse front page. This allows people to easily make an account.
- There should be one main site which will be the largest instance, people can edit the UI to feel how they like, but we need to allow communities to grow big.
- To safe guard against point 3, fund the sites with 100s or thousands of co-equal owners. Say you get 5K people donating $5 a week to each site, they each get 1 stock or piece of the "company" and now it prevents a reddit or twitter situation.
- The final thing, we need Fediverse user accounts, where once you make an account on 1 site you are automatically signed up to all of them and anyone can follow/subscribe and follow on all platforms, leading to a more cohesive biome
