I finally offboarded r/modernart to lemmy.ml/c/modernism today in anticipation of the IPO launch. Already reddit heavily censors and recuperates anything radical. That's only going to get much worse along with advertising and bots. I can't see the website lasting in its current form and that's already pathetic. Lemmy is poised to really take off as reddit ratfucks itself.
Why lemmy.ml?
@happybadger Create your own instance while you still can. If you're interested in hosting large images pick mbin instead of Lemmy and I can help you bypass filesize restrictions
"while you still can"
That is ominous. Creating my own instance has been a "someday" project for me. Is there something to be worried about?
If you want to be your own community's host, you'll also want to start your own community on your instance. The longer you wait, the more users will have to move from the current to the new community. We started ours on an existing server (and it still exists) but we realized early that it would not give us enough control over the posted content (specifically filesize limitations) So we quickly started our own instance.
