  • Being able to search in a community is already a good improvement

  • Probably a good article to share to people skeptical about the resiliency of the Threadiverse

  • Lastly, the official instance is behind cloudflare

    Isn't this the case for most Lemmy instances as well?

  • I tagged you there

  • lemm.ee told you the reason they were shutting down - not enough people to keep the place running and burnout. I can’t force you to see how minimizing and distributing responsibility helps those issues if you don’t want to. Less responsibility, easier for people not to ditch projects or end them.

    Lemm.ee had the option to close their registration at any time. But registrations are only one source of user management.

    In a scenario where Lemm.ee would have become a content instance, but kept their federation policy, they would still have received all the reports about posts on the communities they hosted, wherever the reported user comes from.

    Lemm.ee was the instance with the most active communities after LW, there's no way to avoid a certain level of responsibility.

  • link to instance, but visit only if you are completely degenerate

    Thank you for the warning, looks like 4chan indeed

  • If admins goes missing like the feddit.de ones did, the same problem would still impact that instance, be it a user or a content instance

    If admins just want to shutdown without willing to transfer the instance / domain like the lemm.ee ones did, the same problem would still impact that instance, be it a user or a content instance

    Using instances with non profit like https://fedecan.ca/en/ (lemmy.ca and piefed.ca) seems a better way to mitigate that risk.

  • I addressed a few of your points in the parallel thread with @Ferk@lemmy.ml (actually, it seems like you read it as you commented below)

    As I stated in one of the comments

    At that point, the content instances would be merely storage. This model is already possible now, but the vast majority of instances host both users and content, because it is more interesting to have users to build a local community than just being a storage server.

    If some admins were interested in only being storage servers, you would see more instances not allowing user registrations, but all the 35th most active instances allow them: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

    I had a second look, and instances not allowing sign up are either going to shutdown (lemmy.one) are false positives (https://bookwormstory.social/signup) or are single-person instances:

    Your vision is possible now, but it seems like almost no one wants to implement it.

  • There seems to be a 5k drop in monthly active users (from 46k to 41k) https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats

    It seems high as Lemm.ee had 1k daily active users for the last week.

    Also, the "total lemmy posts per day" is about the existing total of posts at a certain date, not the posts created that specific day. Even then, 4 millions seems high for Lemm.ee, Lw has 527k: https://lemmyverse.net/?order=active

    Active communities migrated a few weeks ago, so we shouldn't lose too many of them: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45977837

  • Ah, I see. So something like https://activitypods.org/ ?

    That would be an improvement indeed, but probably not something we will see any time soon.
