    It’s fine mate, I’m not here to crucify people who want to or have moved to piefed for any reason. People should be able to go where they feel comfortable and welcome and be happy about it. Do what you want and what works for you, of course. All I’m saying is that people should take note of what has happened and why, and do what they can to mitigate that problem going forward.

    As long as communities are migrated and redirects are up before the last day of lemm.ee the transition will be miles ahead of what we’ve seen in the past where instances go dark without warning. Communities and users survived then and they will survive now I’m sure.

    It’s just a bit strange to see all the people saying how they would’ve helped lemm.ee if they’d known sooner or if more cries would’ve gone out, and then nobody spins up instances to actually DO the things they say.

    I think the urgency is being blown out of proportion as a knee jerk to really crappy news. There is almost a month to move, which should be plenty of time for new instances to launch and communities to disperse. Even after the shutdown the rest of the fediverse will be able to redirect users to the new communities, wherever they are homed.

    Again, I’m not against piefed or against people moving somewhere they feel more comfortable or like more. Those are positive things that the fediverse could definitely use. I just don’t understand why we can’t learn the lesson and move on instead of moving on and hoping it doesn’t happen again before more instances pop up.

    At this moment, 9 out of the 10 most active communities are on LW: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active

    You have to scroll 3 times to see !television@lemm.ee, the first Lemm.ee community.

    Lemm.ee was already a decentralization factor from LW, but it was still tiny in terms of communities compared to LW. Moving all of the Lemm.ee communities to Piefed.social (not that it’s the case anyway, I’ve seen communities moving elsewhere) would keep the status quo that we were all living with.

    Of course ideally over time more Piefed instances emerge, and we can spread a bit more. Also, thanks to the Piefed migration feature, we’ll be able to move communities much smoother (even including subscribers).

    Right, I’ve seen pretty much that same reply already.

    I think it’s a chance to learn a lesson from how and why lemm.ee is shutting down. Right now I think people are risking moving the same problem somewhere else. Sure, in theory the problem gets better with time because the tools to move around are there, but that only matters if there’s somewhere to move.

    It would be much more encouraging to see dozens of new piefed instances being launched/advertised. I think there’s a big push towards something new because it’s in the right place at the right time, and I genuinely hope it’s a successful project long term. I just hope the people utilizing it are willing to support it as a platform and not just as a flagship instance.

    It does but not all of them are out in the open to discover. Part of how SXC works is based around not being discoverable if you don’t want to be.

    There is an official directory with quite a few rooms and some unofficial ones for things that aren’t allowed on the main directory for whatever reason. I would say the overall size is much smaller than even Matrix but there are some pretty large and active rooms that cover a fair bit of tech and general topics. It’s not perfect but I prefer it to Matrix.

    Things slowed down a bit this week but still trending upward.

    Gained 30+ Subscribers

    Gained 20+ Subscribers

    • !eternalplaylist@crazypeople.online saw steady gains again this week. With nearly 250 subscribers the community is seeing more activity and the variety of music continues to grow. Hopefully there’s something here for everyone. If not, share what you like!

    Gained ~10 Subscribers

    • !autoracing@crazypeople.online added subscribers in the double digits for the second week running, up to almost 80 subscribers. The community is seeing a lot more activity lately thanks to some new posters sharing the series they’re following. The growth here has been rather unexpected. Thanks to those of you stopping by and a HUGE thanks to everyone posting and commenting.

    Single Digit Growth

    • !pokemonTCGM@crazypeople.online didn’t see much growth this week but as usual the trade thread was popping off and we saw plenty of other posts. Very happy with this community as a whole, now over 140 subscribers.

    • !loweffortmemes@crazypeople.online had another slow week. Adding few new members brought the total to just over 150 subscribers this week. Since this community is meant to be somewhat impulsive and silly it may grow in bursts as the few of us who post their find the inspiration for it.
