  • How would you deal with votes? That's a pretty common action, and having to choose every time would be tedious

  • Lemmy is probably the worst place to sell to advertisers seen how many people run adblockers around here

  • Here is a dashboard of synchronisation time between the most popular instances: https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/cdfzs0dwal3pca/federation-health-time-behind?orgId=1&var-instance=All&var-remote_instance=aussie.zone&var-remote_instance=lemmy.blahaj.zone&var-remote_instance=lemmy.ml&var-remote_instance=lemmy.nz&var-remote_instance=reddthat.com&var-remote_instance=sh.itjust.works&var-remote_instance=slrpnk.net&var-remote_software=All&from=now-12h&to=now

    As you can see, the only three instances synchronizing in more than 5 minutes are

    • reddthat, based in Australia
    • lemmy.nz, in New Zealand
    • aussie.zone, Australia too
    • feddit.ch, closing at the end of the month

    For the 3 first instances, this is due to lag and centralization of communities on LW. Moving communities away from LW would actually help solving that issue (in parallel, Reddthat is planning to open an EU server to reduce the lag)

  • Hopefully this will drive people to switch to another instance, and the issue you mentions will be less present.

  • quicker upgrades

    That's an important one, especially with how long it took LW to upgrade. I completely get why it's more challenging for them due to their number of users, but that could be an argument for enthusiastic users to move elsewhere.

  • It definitely has. Hopefully this decision will nudge people into other instances.

  • Sync had Lemmy.world as the default instance to register a new account (might still be the case, I'm not sure). One of the factors for sure.

  • Indeed, especially with 0.19 that allows you to migrate your subs and block lists in two clicks

  • Hello, welcome here!

    Be aware that your content may be downvoted as not completely related to the topic of the community. There is !taylorswift@poptalk.scrubbles.tech which will definitely welcome this kind of content.

    Your instance looks very interesting, I'll have a look and wish you good luck here on Lemmy!

  • Welcome!

  • Negative:

    1. Ask the community if they would be okay to move. If there is a big backlash, just stay there.
    2. Open the new community on the new instance, add the sidebar, the banner, everything to make it look like the previous one.
    3. Post the the old community a link to the new community. Lock the old community.
    4. Add a few posts to the new community to make the transition smoother
  • Hello,

    I migrated a few communities in the past. Usually, it's okay, except if you really have a lot of valuable content, it happens quite smoothly.

    If people ask, it was from !dundermifflin@lemmy.ml to !dundermifflin@lemm.ee
