Hey there, it's been a while, hope you are doing well

Mbin has that

Definitely. I guess they are still refraining from killing it as they know it might be the last straw

Sorry to hear about your experience, hope you I'll have a better time here

Nice one! We should probably add a link to the sidebar of !languagelearning@sopuli.xyz

Nice!

Preference is key, I was just suggesting this in case people want to give a try to a Mastodon alternative

some instances had SSO for both Mastodon and Lemmy so you could do both ways of communication.

So Mbin?

Yes, the list is a bit strange. I might create another one next week if I have some time

A few suggestions

• !casualconversation@lemmy.world
• !cooking@lemmy.world
• !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works

And this list (post the link in the search to get it on your instance)

For example, if you’re a user who is ONLY interested in french cinema (or any specific topic) on Lemmy, and all of the related communities and other invested users are on a single instance, then for you, the experience is absolutely no different from any centralized platform - the french cinema instance admins have 100% control over your Lemmy experience.

It's interesting, because it happened in the past, but more instance shutdown than power trip: lemmy.film went down, so the community moved to !movies@lemm.ee. Actually, I say that, but you are well aware ha ha

There is probably a balance between how much a community needs to be centralized for it to be livable, and how much decentralization we want to keep admins/mods from power tripping.

I'm a bit jealous of the Star Trek community, seems like they are so many that they can afford to create new communities every few months.

Hello, thank you for your comment!

I agree with most of it, except the following.

In other words, even if you’re super interested in french cinema, there is no need to centralize all users interested in this topic on a single french cinema instance.

The local feed is still important for people to discover new communities. There is a reason most of the French speakers on Lemmy are on Jlai.lu, it's because it allows them to find other French speaking communities more easily. I say this for French, but https://literature.cafe is the same for books, and https://programming.dev for programming.

Otherwise, the local feed is wasted, and with the issues we currently have with discoverability of communities, it definitely helps.

Could you create an archive.is link that I could use instead?

Happy to be part of that very select subgroup

That's great, I just subscribed!

Can't wait for the sync issues of Reddthat to be over (https://reddthat.com/post/15629108?scrollToComments=true)

Thanks!

Nice one, who's the artist?

Thanks, updated the links

The issue is not about the implementation, but the filter: which criteria do you use to select instances that are eligible for the pool of instances? I'm genuinely asking because I think it takes some time to have a look on instances for people to make the best choice.
