Fucking Lemmy.world is hot garbage. They're down every day and are constantly defederating with any instance that doesn't fit their narrow, sanitized world views. It's also one of the most recommended Lemmy's with more new users going there than anywhere else. I think it incredibly damaging in the long run to have 50% of active users on this platform to be centralized on one domain. Especially if this domain makes as many boneheaded decisions as lemmy.world
I agree, but 50% is still better than 100%. I definitely appreciate that I'm reading about this while being totally unaffected personally rather than just disappearing entirely like what happens with a banned subreddit.
We badly need Lemmy clients that can merge instances even if they're defederated, as well as the other way around, filter out entire instances even if your instance won't defederate from them. Letting instance owners dictate what you can or cannot see is not the way.
There are clients that will do the former (eg. Liftoff) but I'm not aware of any that will do the latter. I don't understand why, it can't be that hard to filter users and communities by instance.
I wanna say connect could do it for a while now. It'll certainly come to many clients
I believe Memmy has a filter for communities and instances.
it does, but its broken. the list resets every time you close the app. At least on the full release current build
Yep, I agree. Yet another reason I just spun up my own instance and use that.
I'm curious as to what you'd need(other than a server) to spin oneupp
Some time and tinkering.
It's quite straightforward (especially if you don't use nginx or need email) to use the docker install.
So you need a Linux box (IDK about windows) a fix IP with a port routed to your machine and some free time. Oh yeah a domain name pointing to said IP.
That's good to know, thanks! Would love to try that some day
It's definitely achievable and I'd encourage anyone to play around with self hosting.
The main thing to acknowledge before getting started is that it's an ongoing commitment, like a puppy. Getting it to work initially is the easy part, you can follow a guide and have something working in a few hours of effort. Running in to problems later on is the tricky part, automated backups and upgrades et cetera, something needs a re-start, things just stop working for some reason.
Ah yeah, I can imagine it's not a one and done thing, you'd have to do a lot of support with your server, can see it being a massive time sink
Yeah it's not so much the amount of time, but the unpredictable schedule.
Something suits itself and you have to fix it to get your stuff working.
Tolerable if it's only you, awful if you have other users.
Yes one in the same. Thought about moving the forum to lemmy but there's so much history there
Awesome, I’ve been a user for a lot of years.
I can't believe EverQuest is still around, lol. Blows my mind
Well to be fair, SEQ is the only thing keeping TLPs playable. Same though.
A lot of people register there initially to get their feet wet and move on to another instance later for these reasons. At least we have subscriptions/blocks transferring tools now.
Yep. I started there, found it down all the time and then moved on.
I did it the moment they decided not to defederate from Meta. I don't like admins who can't take decisive actions to protect their users (and apparently seem to bend their knees to any big corpo out there)
That sounds like a contradictory stance
I'm fairly new, what are the tools?
This is the tool I used: Lemmy Account Settings Instance Migrator
I also used LASIM but I remember someone else mentioning another tool that could do multiple accts at once. check out this list for it and more tools.
step 1 - go to reddit
step 2 - ?
step 3 - profit
unfortunately i don't know the specific answer, but you might find something interesting here:

I would like to move to a different fediverse please.
This is what I did.
Bungiefan_ak appears to have literally two hobbies, and they're being anti-piracy and actively a fascist.
Funny how that works out.
same account name (different instance) is also posting transphobia on https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/nomoretroons
Its been deleted now, but that person has successfully trolled every lemmy.world user and is obviously full of hate and intolerance.
The goal is to get people reactionary about it so it's good to recognize and completely ignore them, not even a downvote.

I think lemmy.world gather the kind of redditors that like sanitized world views, the power of decentralization makes us choose an instance without those hot garbaje takes as lemmy.world.
100% spot on. I got called all sorts of names for pointing this out, but maybe my own fault for pointing it out on one of their posts! 😅
They should have shut down registrations a long time before they gained such a majority of users.
They stand behind the lie that "if we didn't let people in, they wouldn't know where to go"... as if it's so hard to create a new registration page that re-routes people to other instances.
I'll never understand the selfishness of people like that. They know they're actively hurting all of lemmy, but they want to keep all the users to themselves. This thing only works if it's a collection of smaller instances.
Let the garbage go there
