tymon@lemm.ee 2 weeks agoMy information is a little outdated; do you know why some people seem to have a strong aversion to migrating to Lemmy.world?

The general opinion is that having too much people on the same instance is dangerous from a centralization perspective.
We see it now with the impact of Lemm.ee shutting down, and it is 3 times smaller than Lemmy.world (https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list)
Some LW mods have a tendency to power trip, even increased by the concentration of communities on their instance

Some of them even openly admitted that for them, federation is a secondary feature: https://lemmy.world/comment/14933488

Thanks for such a clear answer! I’m definitely not interested in ever getting involved in Lemmy Drama, so it does seems like LW might not be the way to go. I’ll do a little digging; Lemmy.zip seems good, but feel free to throw any other suggestions my way!

Also, what about lemmy.ml instead of lemmyworld? isn’t that one of the “official” dev-run instances?

I’ve spent the last couple hours investigating, and yeah, it seems like lemmyzip is the right call. Do you know how to migrate a community? I’m not sure where to start.
