[Meta] It seems that feddit.de communities are moving to feddit.org, is it going to be the plan for this one too? (dormi.zone)

Basically, title.

I randomly stumbled upon [email protected], which seems to be the new home of the former [email protected] (they even added a last meme on the latter: https://feddit.org/post/22759)

I also had a look at https://feddit.org/c/main but my German is very basic, the most interesting topic seems to be a tutorial on how to migrate accounts from feddit.de to feddit.org

Are we planning to do the same?

This English speaking “[email protected]” was always a bit out of place on a primarily German speaking instance. The same would be true for feddit.org, I guess. Maybe we should just depreciate this community and see if another English speaking Europe community takes over? As long as it isn’t the one on lemmy.ml (which has major moderation issues), I think I would be fine with that. I only stepped up moderating it on feddit.de because it was very active at the time and the previous mod stepped down.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

I specifically voted for feddit.org with this community in mind during the name poll, because it was more international sounding than the other options.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

If someone wants to create an English speaking Europe community on feddit.org I would certainly not be against it. Ultimatly it is up to the subscribers to decide where to go.

I pinned this thread in the community, so people can promote their proposed alternatives here.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

So from that I gather that you personally do not have an interest in moving the community over to it.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I would much rather someone else takes over moderation, yes. Both because of various federated moderation bugs in Lemmy making it hard to moderate a community that isn't on your home instance and because I have way to many communities that I moderate already.

If needed, I would be willing to help with moderation, but not be the main moderator of such a new community.

To be fair, the whole sidebar of feddit.org is in German, and specifically mentions being German speaking

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's presumably mostly taken from the original feddit.de instance. Maybe something to talk to the admins about. Personally I think a European instance makes more sense than a purely German one.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

@[email protected], @[email protected] @[email protected] @surprised_[email protected], what do you think?

Is feddit.org a good place for an English speaking !Europe community, or do you prefer to keep the instance German speaking?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I'm an admin. You're welcome to migrate over to us.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Thank you for your feedback! @[email protected] FYI

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

thanks for bringing this up, we'll discuss this in the team and provide an answer soon

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Danke!

Wir sind eine deutschsprachige Lemmy Community und entwickelten uns aus feddit.de heraus.

I doubt they took that from the feddit.de sidebar

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Hi, i am the one who wrote the sidebar. Yes i took the text from feddit.de as a template.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Thanks for the explanation

This community is the biggest one by far. Shutting this would be bad IMHO. Is there a way to move it to another instance?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I agree. This one is definitely the most active one.

@[email protected], maybe lemm.ee can be an option? The .ee domain name suggests its' European, and all of the communities are English-speaking.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

lemm.ee seems to be hosted in the USA. I would very much prefer a european instance. lemmings.world and lemmy.cafe could be an option.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

Hey, lemm.ee admin here - it's actually hosted in Finland!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Oh, okay. iplocation.net reports it being hosted in North America.

Edit: it uses Cloudflare, that's why.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Lemm.ee is hosted in Europe, that's why it hosts [email protected]

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I also think that choosing another instance as Feddit is a good idea. Also in terms of „supporting the concept of federation“.

So another not to big but also stable, european instance would be the perfect solution in my eyes.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Is there a way to move it to another instance?

Hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

You can pin a message to a new one, and lock the old one down, that works for most of the people

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

In that case mods should do that ASAP, to give enough time to people to notice it before the server shuts down.

Also should probably create the new community, lemm.ee doesn't seem to have one already.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Afaik there are no plans to shut the server down

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Even if the server keeps running, not being able to access the frontend is a bit worrying

Is this intentionally english speaking, or does this just reflect the population of lemmy ?
I'd prefer a multilingual europe instance, ou chacun parle sa langue, para aumentar la diversidad.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I didn't create this community, but there is another German speaking "europa" community on feddit.de and this one was as far as I know always near 100% English.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

The size of this community alone shows the need for it. That said, feddit.org seems like a good new home for it since .org is a language neutral tld and the server is german AND English speaking after all.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

What's the matter with this instance? I see that the main page doesn't load.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

Afaik the (sole) admin is inactive so the website wasn't fixed when it went down.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

There's two actually. The second one hopped on board shortly before the first one went to Asia on some work (IIRC).
And the second one has trouble with the SSH-key and a case of RL-stuff going on.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago

Web access doesn’t work for months now and the admin has disappeared.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

Feddit.de? The admin has been having issues, which is why they started https://feddit.org/.

You can see that in their sidebar

Wir sind eine deutschsprachige Lemmy Community und entwickelten uns aus feddit.de heraus.

Feddit.org dient als Reddit-Alternative im Fediverse.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

It would actually be kinda cool to have something like a feddit.eu server where communities from all across Europe/the EU can reside. But I am not against a move to .org either, except for the fact that they label themselves an English-German speaking community. I am not German. 😁

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

feddit.eu seems to be a one-person abandoned instance. To me, feddit.org seems like a fine place.

There's also [email protected] - but it seems to be exclusively francophone.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

There’s also [email protected] - but it seems to be exclusively francophone.

It is, the same way [email protected] was German speaking

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Yes, and like feddit.dk is Danish-speaking. These language-specific instances make sense, and ideally we'd have a different instance for international communities like a europe-community. But, you know, beggars can't be choosers and so it seems like we need to make a suboptimal choice :)

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I am not sure I got your comment right

Lemm.ee is an English speaking European instance that could host the !Europe instance.

It is different in that regard compared to feddit.dk, feddit.org, feddit.UK, jlai.lu, feddit.org, I don't think there is even an Estonian speaking community on Lemm.ee

All of the other instances named in the previous paragraph have a focus on their local language, lemm.ee does not.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

lemm.ee seems like a better choice indeed. But, you do you.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I suppose :) I just like feddit.org - as a name - better than lemm.ee - but that's just my preference.

I suggest the mod of this community makes a decision and we do that.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

The mod would actually prefer to step down: https://slrpnk.net/comment/9445371

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

@EvilCartyen wow, does this thing actually exist? Lol

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

....so.... feddit.org? What's the alternative?
