  Lemmy as a whole not being hurt even if some domains are gone is the entire point of being decentralized. But yeah, it’s really bad that communities made there will also be gone as it is now.

  We need user and community migration like Mastodon does, and quick.

    How does Mastodon do it differently?

      You can migrate to another instance with all your followers very easily in Mastodon.

      I can see Lemmy comms being able to do the same and it’s already been opened as an issue on the GitHub

    Counterpoint: the generic communities being hosted on Lemmy.ml (an instance with a very strong political identity) simply because it was oldest was a real risk for the growth of Lemmy as a whole and this is a fantastic opportunity to rebuild those core communities on more generic Instances like Lemmy.world.

  Eh, it’ll probably just bounce back tbh

  @RxBrad same, but there's generally sim communities on other instances too. It will suck if lemmy.ml gets yanked. But given they haven't yet, they best be prepping to move ASAP.
