  • That's nice. About fantasy football, did you promote in on the other NFL communities? I guess it's too much of a niche topic. I had some success with fantasy football for the Euro 2024, but that was a continent-wide competition, not a regular season.

  • “generalist”

    Something that is not linked to a country, a theme or a demographic

    Non-generalist:

    Generalist:

    Not sure what you meant with "not punching nazis"

  • Makes me think (or hope) that there’s a lot of people like me wishing there was more activity in these areas.

    If you have a topic you would like to talk about, feel free to post about it in !fedigrow@lemm.ee. Not sure we have enough people for Sonic, but we can try.

  • The fact that they (or you) complain about the “All” timeline having the same stuff in all servers shows they have no idea what they’re talking about: that’s the entire point of an All feed! (plusminus stuff like defederation). It would make more sense to compare the Local feed of instances, IMO.

    The complaint is not about the All timeline being the same everywhere. The complaint is that most of the All feed is US politics, a topic which is already massively dominant on Reddit. Some people are looking at alternatives because they want to avoid that. If it's the same, why bother changing and not stay on Reddit?

    I don’t understand why is that not the default for guests / visitors.

    Good point, could be something that could be change by admins.

    The people who came first came for very specific reasons and have particulars to talk about.

    Well, that's not the case for everyone. A lot of people came here because they wanted third party apps on Reddit.

  • On that regard, Beehaw have probably the most solid experience. Too bad that they kind of don't want to update Lemmy anymore.

  • To give a counterpoint, the experience on LW in summer 2023 was horrible, due to the constant DDoS attacks on the infrastructure.

    Discuss.online has a status page: https://status.discuss.online/

    Sopuli.xyz is very stable, and transparent about how they operate: https://sopuli.xyz/post/13531

    A few other instances have status pages:

  • Sorry if that’s unrelated

    Seems like a fair comparison, I was surprised by the account age of the person complaining as well

  • give admins a default block list of users.

    Usually obvious trolls are banned on their instance, so for everyone. There is also synchronization between admins to ban people on instances that admins can't be contacted

  • Sorry to hear. How are the NFL communities doing on Lemmy in general? I'm a bit active on !football@lemmy.world (the other one), it's moderately active but still niche.

    Let's clarify something: does Bluesky allow federated servers on their network? Is there a list of those independent servers?

    Instance admins, how much does it cost you to run your instance? How much does that represent per active user?
