Following the other thread (550 upvotes and 366 comments at the moment: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417), one of the complaints that people had what that some communities only exist on lemmy.ml and don't have alternatives on other instances.

Let's discuss this and see if we can organize together.

I suggest to have one topic per comment so that is is easier to discuss.

Creating the community isn't the issue, usually it's finding moderators

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Don't worry about it for now. I will do it until someone steps up for it. Also, don't forget that I am actually working on tooling to make this job easier, so having any type of growing community would be an excellent way to find out the real pain point for moderators and work on the solutions.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

When I said moderator, I meant someone to bring people to the community as well 😅

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

For that, I really have no answer other than "help with fediverser, stick with one community, and post as much as possible in the promoted communities".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (8 children)

No but I mean practically now, is anyone going to promote that new community to [email protected]? Or do we expect people to hear about it by another mean?

I can easily create a community for jellyfin on https://selfhosted.forum, but I'd be more inclined to do it on https://poweruser.forum.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

https://libretechni.ca/ is also down on my site, is the site supposed to be up?

Oh nice! Only one admin though

If he decides to shut down the project, or something happens to him, the server will probably go down with him.

See vlemmy.net, lemmy.film, iusearch.fyi, and so on

Yep, I guess its having an outage. It's been fine for weeks.

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

Who downvoted this? Why? 😵‍💫

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Sorry to bring it to you, but https://lemmy.film/ has been down for probably six months.

What is the issue with dbzer0? It's literally an instance with the largest piracy community of all of Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

When I think of db0 I think of piracy or AI, Jellyfin is a media manager, when I think of it, I think of TV, film and self hosting.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Well, I'm pretty sure none of the Jellyfin users stream their vacation movies

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

At least one does. But needless to say, there's lots of legally owned content sitting on many NASs all across the world.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Librewolf's official community is on ml sadly [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Might be worth to check with the team if they would mind moving to another instance.

I guess they didn't really check which instance their community was hosted on

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Lemmy.ml is the largest FOSS and Privacy instance, so it makes sense.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Or maybe it was the most popular server when the Librewolf devs decided on an instance for their community.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Could be, but given that Librewolf is FOSS and focused on Privacy, it makes sense and fits.

I guess we should get people interested in managing that community. Maybe a post to [email protected] to see who would like to do that could be a starting point

Unixporn

[email protected]

[email protected] is probably the obvious solution

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Simple Living: [email protected]

[email protected] : "A community about happy living. Thoughts and praxis about long-term wellbeing, contentment, and personal fulfillment."

That said, I would like to say that despite the issues with the ML administration, I feel the centralization of communities on WORLD is a far greater and thus more urgent issue for me.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (7 children)

I feel the centralization of communities on WORLD is a far greater and thus more urgent issue for me.

Is it? Is there any level of power tripping similar to lemmy.ml?

Also

I suggest to have one topic per comment so that is is easier to discuss.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's not about power tripping, it's about philosophy. When I left mainstream social media and decided upon the Fediverse, decentralization was very much at the top of the list. I was happy to be part of a world where one corporation wasn't in control of our lives. I'm just uncomfortable with the way that people are so eager to foster that in world. We shouldn't have to see them misbehave before we apply what we learned from previous mistakes.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

I’m just uncomfortable with the way that people are so eager to foster that in world. We shouldn’t have to see them misbehave before we apply what we learned from previous mistakes.

You're preaching to the choir, but "for now" it's acceptable to me.

We are always able to move communities to other instances should they misbehave, and that's good enough to me.

Could be improved, of course, but not critical.
