  • If you see a community for the first time, and then see harassment and insults everywhere, you're probably not going to block every offender, you're just going to not visit that community again.

  • handle so much of the chores and unsavory occurrences that the volunteer admins & mods on the Lemmysphere have to do on their own.

    Reddit was known for years to leave the moderation tasks to the volunteers admins. I'm still a mod in a quite active sub, the mod queue is around 2600 items now.

  • Hm, if you need to migrate all of the content to a new community, that might require quite some work indeed.

    What about gradually moving content over? https://lemmy.world/c/moviesandtv@lemmy.film content is still there, and lemmy.film went down more than a year ago

  • So far lemmy.zip seems to fit the bill.

    You will see, it's great

  • Doesn't really solve the issue, admins will all want to manage an instance for groups rather than instance for users as that would avoid much of the drama.

  • Enjoy lemmy.zip, it's great!

  • Lemmy.cafe could be another option if you’d prefer a smaller general purpose instance (to help spread the load and prevent the burnout that lemm.ee experienced) that’s also run by a solid admin.

    Some feedback on lemmy.cafe: it used to be my alt for a few weeks end of 2024. I liked the idea of the instance, and the them, and Illecors (the admin) was indeed quite nice to talk too.

    That being said, there was an issue that lasted from 22th of November to 18th of January with the thumbnails not loading, while other instances running the same version didn't have those issues: https://lemmy.cafe/post/9986198

    I know that Illecors did his best, and people should definitely give the instance a try if they are interested, but this is just a warning to keep in mind that this is an instance mostly run by one person, so troubleshooting can take a bit of time.

  • More specifically, trying to migrate my project to another instance before .ee shuts down would be a herculean task AFAIK, especially with my having significant new health issues recently.

    I can help with that, if needed. I'm going to have to migrate my own communities in the coming weeks, so I can help with yours too.

  • If you have to defederate everyone to ensure user safety, then why bother with the fediverse in the first place?

    It's rather the opposite: the federated models allows to choose which instances you want to connect with.

    On centralized models, you can't escape, you are trapped with everyone else, Twitter being a good example.
