reddit’s fuckery is unlikely to ever re-produce the massive influx of new users that the API nonsense did in 2023

While Reddit might not have a single screw-up of that scale again, that is probably better for long-term Lemmy growth. I think we’ve forgotten just how ill-equipped the small handful of Lemmy instances were to cope with the 2023 influx. We have many more stable instances now, and the onboarding process is smoother.

Yeah, that caught my eye as well.

@[email protected] Thoughts on hosting a datahoarder community on your instance?

The moderator of [email protected] (@[email protected], likely u/-Archivist) hasn’t been active in two years. Would the admins be open to appointing a new moderator or redirecting to a community on another instance? Tagging admin @[email protected].

The moderator of [email protected] (@[email protected]) is active. Thoughts on moving the community to dbzer0?

Tagging recent posters in the above communities for their thoughts: @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected].

Thoughts on moving the community to dbzero? I think moving away from .ml might be a better experience for new users, and moving away from .world (largest instance, still on 19.3) would strengthen the fediverse as a whole.

If we were to start fresh, I feel like [email protected] would be the most appropriate.

FTFY.

Happy cake day!

I don’t have a reddit account so I can’t verify, but IIRC it doesn’t ignore single return commands

I do, and can verify that it does ignore a single return character.

Good bot!

Cool, lemmy try: @[email protected] 1 hour

What is the syntax for summoning it?

Thanks for sharing, that was great!

I am trying to convince more instance admins to install Fediverser on their servers, so that we can have a way to point people to one site that can distribute the users and help with onboarding and discovery

What does Fediverser from an admin standpoint? Does it just enable a “Login with Reddit” option for onboarding new users?

Just send them to Lemmy world

I agree that having a “default instance” would greatly help with onboarding new users, but as many others have said before, centralizing on the largest instance is not a good idea.

There are several other “general purpose” Lemmy instances. Why not send everyone to lemm.ee, until its size is close to lemmy world? At that point, start sending everyone to lemmy.sdf.org or lemmy.zip.

I’d like to do the same, but it looks like that particular Firefox extension is no longer available. Is there a current version that you use?

@[email protected] If it’s available as an RSS feed, you could probably get @[email protected] to create a Lemmy community for you.
