I’ve noticed this a ton over the last two or three months. Lemmy has become so much more negative than it was when I joined. It’s a real bummer. I can’t even imagine trying to be a mod or an admin.
agreed. the honeymoon period post-reddit-exodus was nice but this place is just like everywhere else now.

The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out.
Oof owie, my instance

Go to your settings, and scroll down. Theres an export to json option. Just save it, and then you can imprt that file in your new account. Super easy.
Figuring out where to go is a little harder though.
Oh wow I didn't realize that settings export included communities. That's great.

Just switched and it was buttery smooth

Thanks for all your work, you ran a great instance and I appreciate all the effort you put into it

I have mostly just lurked here and wanted to come out of my shell to say thank you, admins, for all your hard work on this instance. You did a great job running this instance and I'll miss being the goblin hiding in the corner here.
Best of luck with your next endeavors.

What happens to the communities there? Is there a way for them to automatically migrate to another instance?

Only bad thing is it doesn't migrate your posts and comments. Thankfully it does migrate your saved posts!

Hey Realtalk you ought to fuck right off

hey, real talk. if the users weren't so obnoxious maybe the admins wouldn't be burnt-the-fuck-out...

It's still quite a lot nicer than reddit, even if it has its share of unpleasant characters. Whenever I read a reddit thread I am glad Lemmy exists.

That's a pleasant idea: best ways on going about that?

Fascinating how quickly you can forget the actual abuse when thinking about an abusive ex.

Managing a federated network comes with a lot of responsibility.
It's not just federated networks. It is anything with user interaction. Managing and moderating any sort of sizeable social media site is a lot harder than people think.

You realize that with a federated system they're not just handling their own users right? They could defederate from the servers that host users causing issues, but that also means all of their users cannot interact with all those communities, without a choice. Lemmy currently only provides a sledgehammer when they really just need more fine tools.

The content will still be visible on other instances that were federated, according to their post.

It's the normal amount of suck that is inherent and not the turbo suck that corpos intentionally cultivate for profit

Exactly this. lemm.ee wasn't ever really into defederation either.

I think that is just an effect of growing, or at least not shrinking and sticking around. There is ni point in spaming somewhere where there are no active users.
