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.
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.

hey, real talk. if the users weren't so obnoxious maybe the admins wouldn't be burnt-the-fuck-out...
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.
-
What happens to the communities there? Is there a way for them to automatically migrate to another instance?
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’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.
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.
-
agreed. the honeymoon period post-reddit-exodus was nice but this place is just like everywhere else now.
Yeah I was bored the other day and opened up a niche reddit community and I was just floored at how positive everyone was versus the same community here. But I digress I imagine it’s going to be phases and I’ll continue to try and be positive.

I don't know if it was that short term, but I've always been rather concerned with the sharp degree of hostility and even outright hatred that seems to be tacitly accepted or encouraged.

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.
That is sad to hear. Thanks for the all the work admins.
-
That’s depressing news, but I get it.
Any suggestions on alternative instances?

I was here for just a few days but thanks for providing the service

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

I mean if you're someone new and then inundated with terrible news every day because you're still getting the hang of moderating your feed by yourself, you're bound to carry negative attitude everywhere else.
reddit can, have been, and will continue to be angry right leaning, and here it's the opposite. I get it, there are matters worth being angry about. but surrounding yourself with it just makes it pointless

it's why I said no to a discord server that I am chronically online in. I don't remember what was the active user count back then, probably just 100. the admins offered a mod position because I'm a good boi. I know I'll get angry at the slightest thing. but i always managed to stop kyself from posting angrily off the cuff. I am not fit to moderate strangers, even if their familiar strangers. dunno how I'd do with a smidgen of power.
I couldn't imagine the stress of moderating even larger network

The original lemmy.ml
Unfortunately, I had to move my community from there after some admin started interfering with the content.
-
lemmy.zip would be my recommendation.
Interesting. What do you like about it?
-

You have to migrate your community to a new instance, and notify the users about its new location. Old content from lemm.ee will remain accessible.

Now is a good time to check out PieFed.
It also has much better mod tools, so it will make life easier for mods
-
Shiiiit. What's the easiest way to migrate all my communities quickly???
Consider moving them to PieFed
It has powerful mod features that Lemmy does not
