Interesting, thanks
Indeed, having [email protected] in the sidebar might help
[email protected] has 5 few active threads since yesterday, such as
Feel free to open others if needed
Lemmy.sdf.org had a lot of federation issues until recently. They are also very FOSS oriented rather than generic
I don’t even consider Beehaw a Lemmy instance anymore as they defederate LW and SJW
I should have probably said “generic US instance”, with communities like AskUSA, CasualUS, this kind of things
Indeed
Cool concept!
database issues
Completely random example
This is going to get removed
You should repost it on [email protected]
Very good point
Seems like a good reason to have this kind of rules
Also I posted in [email protected] a thread for non political communities
As a simple user, I find it nice too to be able to know what the other instances are up to.
Not to say there should not be a local-only community, but having the public ones are also nice
They don’t even have to create one, it’s there [email protected]
The one you listed is for essentially for posting articles.
Why the distinction? Movies communities both post about articles about movies and have discussion posts too.
But anyway, I created those 3 posts on [email protected], feel free to create others there too
Feel free to discuss it on [email protected] https://lemmy.world/c/politicaldiscussion
It’s still weird to me that there is no US instance. LW and lemm.ee are hosted in Europe, SJW and lemmy.ca in Canada, lemmy.ml and hexbear use a European datacenter.
I mean there is midwest.social and dubvee, but we could have expected a large US instance to have emerged by now.
The closest is probably https://lemmy.today/, but only has 194 users per month.
How are political communities tiny when they are 2 of the 6 most active communities on Lemmy?
To be honest, the issue is mostly about [email protected] banning self posts (and thus people having to find alternatives such as [email protected] ) rather than the mods of [email protected]
Two posts for you
I just created two posts over there, one over the likelihood of project 2025 to happen, and the other one about people actually considering leaving the USA. Feel free to join the discussion
As you know, I’m not the biggest LW fan, but even I wouldn’t use an account defederated from LW, especially with SJW on top. You’re missing probably 80% of the active communities, and 15% of the remaining are on lemmy.ml
Even with that, why is there no Californian or New York instance? Seems weird to me seen how populous and tech oriented those places are
