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

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.
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

What are the issues with python if anyone knows? Is it a bigger issue with scaling up or will it get significantly slower as they add more features? People mention how its bad but they just assume people know why.

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.
name the communities lol

Thanks for your time. Take care of yourselves.

Great admin team, public finances, reasonable rules, good defederation policy, data is hosted in the EU.

Can you think of any reason I'm not receiving a confirmation email when I register there?

Thank you for your hard work! Sorry I was being an ass time to time.

You can assume a roughly 10-100x slowdown on pretty much everything. It also does not feature type safety, so while it is easier to code in it it is also easier to make mistakes. Other than that... Just a simple scripting language

We use Python on the back end of a public-facing website with massive levels of traffic. There are some maintainability issues due to the dynamic nature of the language, duck typing can be tricky for similar reasons, but as long as devs are sensible and test things rigorously, performance is fine, and I'm reasonably sure we're operating at a scale at least a couple orders of magnitude larger than all Lemmy instances combined. Also, it's a mature, concise language with excellent libraries, so most non-exotic requirements can be met without too much difficulty.

They don't know why. I supect it's because nothing works right if you do it wrong.

Thanks, admins, your efforts and patience have been greatly appreciated.

The sad reality is that while there are a lot of great people on Lemmy, there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join.
This always going to happen when a small group of people are going to try and the communications of a much larger group. They cannot scale and the more they try to keep up, the more tgey will cut corners and take easy, lazy decision.
Instead, everyone has to participate in community self-moderation. It should all be transparent and optionnal. Local sorting algorithms showing users what they ask to see.
Having a secret vanguard operating in the shadows is not acceptable,. Not only ut hurts them until they grow big enough to be the efficient secret police but then it creates an underlying organization of control shaping discourse on the entire platform.
The way forward is NOT to be reddit with extra steps.

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.
My instance constantly gets attacked for being a "pro genocide nazi instance". Which totally is not the case, but admins and mods are trying to ensure that no content is posted that is illegal where they live. And local rules here are also quite sensible.

It's gotten to be as bad as Facebook and Reddit, tbh. Less of a reason to use it over the competition.

This suuuucks. We need another big, general instance that doesn't defed everyone. But I get it, being an admin sounds like a lot of work or I would do it lol. Plus I don't have place for a server around here. Or do most admins just buy space from the cloud?

How often do those laws actually get enforced, especially for small online communities who are against genocide? Like I understand not wanting to run afoul of the law, even if the law is immoral, but is it a realistic risk?

Oh no, they got tired of abusing their power.
