I feel the centralization of communities on WORLD is a far greater and thus more urgent issue for me.

Is it? Is there any level of power tripping similar to lemmy.ml?

Also

I suggest to have one topic per comment so that is is easier to discuss.

Interesting, doesn't seem that active unfortunately, I guess the privacyguides one takes most of the posts besides the lemmy.ml one

Interesting

The admin of the server becomes a “mere” service provider, and those that create communities are then responsible for moderation and that content being hosted there.

Would you be able to prevent admins to interfere with moderation of the communities? Seems to be the biggest issue here

Are those services available today?

Indeed

Hello Raphael,

For the first question, I redirect you to the thread linked in the OP: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417

For the second question, I guess this is beyond the scope of this discussion. Having communities unlinked to an instance would require a complete rework of Lemmy, this thread is just about moving away from lemmy.ml due to some abuse reported in the other thread.

Just had a look:

• !privacy@monero.house: site seems down? http://monero.house/
• !privacy@lemmy.ca: last posts 4 hours and 9 days ago
• !privacy@links.hackliberty.org: last post 4 days ago
• !privacy@sopuli.xyz: last post 11 days ago
• !privacy@lemmy.world: last post 3 hours and 8 hours ago
• !privacy@community.nicfab.it: site is down: https://community.nicfab.it/c/privacy

Added lemmy.ca and LW to the top comment

I'm always torn with Beehaw as they defederated lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works.

Posting there just mean that a third of Lemmy won't see your post.

Well put!

there are still many thriving, non-political communities hosted there. To cut them all off would be a net-negative to the average Lemmy user, I would argue.

Agreed. To address this, I started this thread to see which lemmy.ml don't have alternatives on other instances: https://lemmy.world/post/16235541

Hopefully that can help people who want to avoid lemmy.ml.

I guess at the end of the day, people should be able to choose whether they go to the lemmy.ml communities or the alternatives

Well put

Feel free!

On my side I feel like most of https://lemmy.ml/communities are already covered. This post is for communities that other people have already identified as "not having alternatives" (see complaints on the other post), so they should know them already.

Privacy: !privacy@lemmy.ml

!privacyguides@lemmy.one is a good one. The instance admin comes and go, but the instance is still up-to-date

Other active options:

• !privacy@lemmy.ca
• !privacy@lemmy.world

Personal finance: !personalfinance@lemmy.ml

There are a few country-based:

• !ausfinance@aussie.zone
• !personalfinancecanada@lemmy.ca
• !personalfinanceuk@feddit.uk
• !finances@jlai.lu

Maybe it makes more sense to have country-based communities?

Open source: !opensource@lemmy.ml

• !opensource@programming.dev seems like a nice alternative (more subs than !opensource@lemmy.world)

Linux: !linux@lemmy.ml

!linux@lemmy.world seems quite active, I guess if any people move to it it will become even more active.

!linux@programming.dev could probably be a nice one too if people want to avoid hypercentralization on LW

If you know any other, comment below and we can see which one we decide to select as "the one" to avoid fragmentation.

When people ask about generalist instance recommendations, here's my list

• lemm.ee is the second most active instance and avoids joining Lemmy.world which is already too big (you can join LW if you really want)
• sh.itjust.works works, if you don't mind the name
• if you are based in Europe, discuss.tchncs.de is very well managed (they have other services at https://tchncs.de/)
• if you are based in North America, lemmy.ca is nice
• reddthat.com is cool if you don't want downvotes

That's pretty much it. Other instances are either topic-based or regional, but then people have to look them up on lemmyverse or fedidb

Good luck with this!

Time to switch to Explain Me Like I'm Six then
