  Well it isn't possible, and probably not ever possible to automatically redirect lemmy-based subscribers to a new community on piefed via migration. I also think lemmy users would not like that even if it was.

  But Rimu did suggest he wanted it to automatically do it for piefed based users.

  I think you missed the link to the community.

  People feel the same way about lemmy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Piefed now has a built-in alternative to Lemmyverse to discover active communities, with the "Active people" filter on the communities page (weekly basis)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Indeed. You can also search a term and then sort by active users, or filter it by a feed. But I think there needs to be some UI cleanup on the feed drop down box as that is going to be really, really long as people on different instances make new feeds

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Piefed now has a built-in alternative to Lemmyverse to discover active communities, with the "Active people" filter on the communities page (weekly basis)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No it's not. It's just a way to sort by active weekly users, but you can mix and match by filtering with feeds which you can't do on Lemmy.

  Yeah, I think this is pretty poor from Steam. Especially if this expands in scope beyond the pornslop games to include stuff on the level of Cyberpunk or Baldurs Gate - which I assume it would have to per OSAs standards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam users in the UK will need a credit card to access “mature content” games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Update: Debits do not work. You need a credit card.

  Which seems against OSA guidance

  It's more that people who don't want a credit card are screwed from this.

  Yeah but why aren't the other sites implementing checks?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mississippi's age assurance law puts decentralized social networks to the test⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Have any of Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Discord implemented age-checks in Mississippi then?

  If not, why is Bluesky the only one going dark there?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky blocks Mississippi users over age verification law⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For Porn sites only

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky blocks Mississippi users over age verification law⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I suppose it's more me being curious about why the bigger-boys aren't using age-ID there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky blocks Mississippi users over age verification law⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, a detail but:

  https://www.pcmag.com/news/supreme-court-lets-mississippi-age-verification-law-go-into-effect-for

  It's considered likely to be unconstitutional.

  The ruling now allows Mississippi to enforce its social media law while case continues in the lower court. In the ruling, Kavanaugh also cited several district court rulings opposing similar age-verification laws, concluding that "the Mississippi law is likely unconstitutional."

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky blocks Mississippi users over age verification law⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So I'm curious. If this law is in play in Mississippi now, are Mississippians being prompted for their ID on Discord, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit etc? I would check myself but my VPN doesn't have a Mississippi server.

  If not, and they're not bothering, then why is Bluesky reacting like this specifically?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, but it's not at the level of decline some doom about here. It's mostly stable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yes, it has some impact - but the slow decline of Lemmy instance activity has to be contextualised with whats going on Piefed (and to a lesser extent: Mbin)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When instances close, users tend to just disappear (as when Lemmy.ee closed down). The Lemmy.ee users seem to have just disappeared instead of migrated to another instance.

  I suggest you look at the piefed activity indicator for more context here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The user you are replying to has specifically sourced lemmy.world data there, which is not going to give you an overall for the wider fediverse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemmy.zip is the only notable instance to have done this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well there's an amount, but it wouldn't have much impact on the Fediverse as there's no age-ID here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That's just UK currently

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is happening to Lemmy instances?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, minnix.dev seems like a very marginal instance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is happening to Lemmy instances?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Both seem up for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't Mbin more popular? ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought Kbin (I used kbin first) was okay but really overturned with too much going on and no real reason to use it.

  Widespread instance blocking? I only know of a handful of instances often blocked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Piefed has polls

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It's funny because for new low-traffic communities now, Reddit is worse than the Fediverse in my opinion. The Fediverse has an effective catalog on every instance, you can search instances, you can rename your community to be more visible (you can't do this on reddit). I would also suggest you look into Piefed, which has even more tools here.
