And yet I’m the one on lemmy.ml and you’re the one on lemmy.world 🤔
no, I migrated away from LW a few months ago. I am currently on discuss.tchncs.de
I think you confused my current account with the inactive one on LW that I only use for moderating in asklemmy sometimes.
Oops, embarrassing. 😅
I have not been convinced lemmy.world being the largest instance is actually a bad thing. It’s bad for federation, I suppose, but they’re all Redditeurs and I appreciate having a containment zone for them.
Most people here are from reddit or other centralized and enshittified platforms such as Twitter.
LW got recommended often and it created a snowballing effect, which is why it became the biggest lemmy instance. Unfortunately people keep doing it and LW admins refuse to close down their registrations temporarily to allow other instances to get some traffic as well. That’s why some people (like me) advise people (like you) to stop recommending LW over other instances.
And LW is not a “containment” zone for former redditors.
I don’t recommend LW, it’s full of Redditeurs and defederated from instances I like such as hexbear and lemmygrad. But I did start there, because that was the one recommended to me.
But that didn’t stop me from migration when the admins of that server started making choices I didn’t like. That’s what federation is good for, and looking back my experience is now better than before.
Let people join bad instances and then figure out federation later. Getting that foot in the door is what matters most.
Ah, that explains it. Have a nice day.
