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.

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.

That’s depressing news, but I get it.

Any suggestions on alternative instances?

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

The original lemmy.ml

lemmy.zip would be my recommendation.

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

Shiiiit. What's the easiest way to migrate all my communities quickly???

Now is a good time to check out PieFed.

It also has much better mod tools, so it will make life easier for mods

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.

Interesting. What do you like about it?

I started lemdro.id and we've got a couple other folks as admins too. Not too large an instance, but imo we have a similar philosophy to lemm.ee (although community creation is not enabled by default for users)
