Following the other thread (550 upvotes and 366 comments at the moment: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417), one of the complaints that people had what that some communities only exist on lemmy.ml and don’t have alternatives on other instances.
Let’s discuss this and see if we can organize together.
I suggest to have one topic per comment so that is is easier to discuss.
Can we make some root cause analysis? Why is it a problem that certain communities are only on one instance?
Or better, why do communities need some relationship to an instance?
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.
What If I told you that it does not require a complete rework of Lemmy, but instead just additional services to use instances as independent “ActivityPub group servers”?
Are those services available today?
@[email protected] and @[email protected], what is so offensive about Blaze’s question that warrants downvotes?
Do you think I will somehow be blackmailed because you tagged me dude?
I am downvoting all participants in this grassroots campaign against lemmy developers and diverse political opinions.
Nice one ha ha
I think it’s creepy. Don’t like that at all.
