“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style artistry from around the world is also welcome. ^^

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

Please DO: 1) follow good 'netiquette' and 2) the four simple rules of lemm.ee (this instance) when posting and commenting. As for extracts, they're fine, but don't link to pirated downloads. Moderation will be based on readers' willingness to follow the above guidelines.

The designated language here is English, with a traditional bias towards French, followed by other Euro languages.

When posting foreign-language content, please DO include helpful context for English-speakers.

Rough times, these are. Our beloved host-instance is retiring soon. (gulp) Which is why Lucky's on the lookout for any other instance & solution in which we might carry on. (PieFed is noted, yes!) (i.imgur.com)

Too many instance admins defederate on their own gumption

Hmm, that's disappointing to hear. That kind of thing should happen pretty rarely, based on my understanding of good policy, transparency, and health of the Lemmysphere.

Any examples, by chance? And backstory about possible 'feuds?'

Tangent: there's a "hidden" sub-URL on Lemmy instances where you can examine who they both link to and block (defederate), add /instances after any site; e.g. https://lemm.ee/instances

I've seen a number of folks mentioning or suggesting lemmy.zip (the whole .zip TLD gives me the willies, just feels wrong in my old bones) - I know nothing about them, but can examine their federation and it seems to be very open like lemm.ee is: https://lemmy.zip/instances (their sidebar seems to say they want gamers and techs but idk)

I just remember it being a thing a while back between World, Hexbear, ML, ExplodingHeads, etc where admins had a clash of views and decided to just sever federation. Like I get that some instances are run be wackos and some people don't want to see certain certain content, but I'd rather make that choice myself as a user and block what I don't want to see, as opposed to my instance admin making that decision for everyone. One thing I always appreciated about EE was that they defederated from spam and unsavory (ie CP) instances, but they left the majority of it to the user. I'm just not a fan of blanket bans, even if I agree with it.

World, Hexbear, ML, ExplodingHeads

I mean... Hexbear is just... yikes. What a complete, total bag of extremist a-holes, and why in the world would any other instance entertain their BS, y'know?

"World" at least tries to carry the brunt of the server and user-load, whether that's wise or not. But we can certainly admire that, amirite?

"ML" is arguably 'tankie' in nature, altho personally the main dev has always treated me well, and I really can't say anything bad about those guys.

ExplodingHeads

I don't have the slightest clue what that is...
