… as someone whos considering switching out of world my eyes are open.
Bad like brian over here. Signed up for lemme just to be kicked off the first server. Hopefully it’s an extremely rare event. If world goes down, I’m out.
I hear Digg is close to launching its beta or whatever…
Done did their final sudo docker compose down
Currently in between .zip and dbzer0 seeing which vibe is right
How’s zip so far?
It’s ok I just don’t like how they handle images. When I click on an image it redirects to open in a browser (on mobile) or new tab (on desktop). Dbzer0 doesn’t do this. I suspect they handle images more like lemm.ee did.
its good but I feel like I ran into less not likable ppl on lemm.ee, maybe they were already blocked instancewide or something
I miss it.
Same, it was a good instance.
I wasn’t affected by this directly, but from what I saw it was all handled extremely well - lots of notice so users could choose new instances and mods could coordinate moving communities elsewhere. Makes me optimistic for the fediverse.
As a former lemmeezen, RIP, F, it was a good trip, quite decent service, but now it’s time to spread out.
db0 is being nice so far, and I even got an account on my country’s lemmy.
How’s dbz?
It just redirects to https://join-lemmy.org/ for me
That’s pretty smart of the admins, actually. Thankful they thought of that.
oh, now it does
interesting 🤔
Not really, the admins and just about every active community on there announced a month ago that they were shutting down.
There is going to need to be some centralization of some form for this to work. The fediverse is a mess right now but its such a good idea.
What, centralisation has the opposite effect. It makes things worse. Imagine lemmy.world shutting down (the biggest instance), lemmy would be fucked.
Decentralisation is to be encouraged. So if an instance shuts down, it’s not the end of the world.
Like how basically all lemm.ee communities were migrated.
When I say centralization I don’t mean letting a few control the many. This is what I mean.
Figure out what the alternatives are for these sites we don’t need several Twitter alternatives.
Each site needs a front page, Accessible on the Fediverse front page. This allows people to easily make an account.
There should be one main site which will be the largest instance, people can edit the UI to feel how they like, but we need to allow communities to grow big.
To safe guard against point 3, fund the sites with 100s or thousands of co-equal owners. Say you get 5K people donating $5 a week to each site, they each get 1 stock or piece of the “company” and now it prevents a reddit or twitter situation.
The final thing, we need Fediverse user accounts, where once you make an account on 1 site you are automatically signed up to all of them and anyone can follow/subscribe and follow on all platforms, leading to a more cohesive biome
I’m not even a member of lemm.ee and was aware of it closing today^*^
^*^ - timezone dependent but +/-24hours.
Same. at least users of lemm.ee were given a lot of notice in advance so they could prep
Confirm is ded. I moved from there. RIP.
What happened? Did the instance maintainer just get sick of running it?
Sadge. It was a pretty solid instance.

im pretty sure it was having issues on the 29th

Well... it's 10 before midnight here. I'm pretty sure a bit east from me it's the 30th already. Not so much in the west. But I don't know where lemm.ee was located.
