I love that neither of us made it a point of which side is right :P

it’s possible to migrate your subs on lemmy

it’s possible to both migrate your subs and make a redirect on mastodon for followers, but the redirect requires the old server to remain in service.

there are on mastodon

I think the distribution is fine as long as we still have nodes with good capacity. Our real issue is everyone demanding to be on the same instance because they’re scared of Federation.

What I’d REALLY like to see is a Federated Resource Locator service, kinda like nameservice for a federated user.

[email protected] is 101254684, if I move to [email protected], I want all my followers to do that lookup and still be following me. It’s great to have my settings migrate with me, but it would be bangin’ to have other people linked to me to still follow me.

I’ve already moved at least once and have been very happy it was as easy as it is.

Normal people really don’t like to donate,

I’m on a medium-small instance; if %5 of users donate a dollar a month, the hardware would likely be paid for.

If lemmy.world had %0.01 of users paying, they could probably cover their hardware, storage and network fees.

If you’re not paying the admin’s mortgage, it not that hard to chip in. Unlike the other “options”, no one is getting ad revenue or selling your data, if that’s not worth a cup of cheap coffee a month for 1:20 people they have their priorities in the wrong places. .

want the formerly leftist site to go full maga now.

Reddit and X, sitting in a tree.

Our most precious features is you’ll never have to. If a community turns to shit, they just get defederated. If you can’t find a server that defederates them, you can host it yourself. Your groups will be smaller, and you’ll lose something in the transition, but what you have is what you’ll put up with.

Also helps to not be shit.

Yeah, we also turn a lot of people away by having boring UI and no Algorhythm, but I consider those to be more of a personality filter.

Just stay on the right side of pineapple on pizza.

Monthly Average Users

as opposed to DAU (Daily) or WAU (Weekly)

For a live product, the number of average users / time is a pretty telling metric.

I wonder what the arc will look like this time.
