I think especially Lemmy.ml should rather focus more on cleaning up their Tankie & moderator issues
As much as I would love to see it, I don’t think the lead devs of lemmy, who own both lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml, are going to ban themselves.
for topic based instances. I was just looking for an updated list the other day.
I’ve got a pretty good list here: https://kbin.social/m/specialized_instances/t/186667/Big-list-of-specialized-instances
In case you haven’t seen it yet, I’ve compiled a fairly sizeable list of focused instances. More would be cool, but there’s a fair number to check out already.
Don’t stretch yourself too thin, though. Might be something to back-burner if money is tight.
I’m surprised that this doesn’t exist already. There’s terefere.eu - “Arts & history instance”, but it seems to be down at the moment so I can’t see more details. There’s also crystals.rest - “A general instance for livestreaming, anime, and retro art!”, but that’s just for one specific type of art.
I had been trying to grow these two:
They were reasonably popular on reddit, 3m+ and 2m+ subscribers respectively. I started posting once per day to each of them soon after I migrated over, though my meme stash has mostly run dry at this point (I do have a bit more to post to anime_irl). There are some regular posters in anime_irl now, but animemes has been pretty dead since I stopped posting. I’ve also promoted them in the usual places.
There’s also my own community, kbin.social/m/specialized_instances / /c/specialized_instances@kbin.social, for cataloging topic/location focused instances. It works fine as a solo project, but I wouldn’t mind having more suggestions of things to add to the list.
Shameless (but relevant) plug, I made a community for cataloging topic/location-specific instances:
Hey now, anarchists don’t deserve this slander. Moderation typically falls under freedom of association/disassociation, which we’re strongly in favor of. The people you have a problem with are the ones that think you should be forced to listen to them, which is pretty contrary to the anarchist ethos.
Inspired by this thread, I made a community for cataloging specialized instances:
It’d be another method to drive traffic to their websites and gain more ad revenue. Same as maintaining a presence on twitter or facebook, or providing an RSS feed.
There are valid reasons to be for the merger, and valid reasons to be against it. However, the argument has been posted quite visibly for anyone that cares about it, and the appeal has been made to the lemmy.world admin. The admin will decide what to do, and that should be the end of it.
What we really do not need is a swarm of cranks coming out of the woodwork to Correct The Record™ every time someone makes mention of the event without putting the “proper” spin on it. It is not some grave injustice. If you don’t like the outcome, then join one of the other existing android communities instead of participating in the merger. Or create your own, so that you can run it how you want. And then get on with your life.
No thanks, I’m allergic to filter bubbles. Instead of shitting up every thread and telling people to put in nose plugs, perhaps you could stop being an “ethics in game journalism”-style crank?
We’ll be just fine without your hot take in every thread.
You’ve made two threads about this already. It really doesn’t need to be spammed everywhere.
Did you ever get this working? I set up 23.05 recently on one of my machines, and my Dualsense controllers worked fine though the KDE bluetooth app once I enabled bluetooth in configuration.nix.
