!chess@feddit.org feddit.org/c/Chess
The existing chess community on lemmy.ml/c/chess seems to be dead, moderators are not reachable and is hosted on .ml which is defederated by many instances. Use this community for anything related to chess: news, memes, puzzles, guides, etc.
Nice. Having a good vibrant chess community is missing here in the fediverse it seems. I’ll join :)
Marvelous! Though, just to clarify, why the
lemmy.mlis frequently considered not preferred? For years I see that the instance is mentioned alongside?: “mistrusted”, “discredited”, “unstable” etc.Have you considered another of the most popular as
lemmy.world? If you did, why did you choose Feddit, if I may ask?I simply chose feddit.org, because it is my home instance and I am very happy with how it is being maintained and taken care for (i.e. see https://feddit.org/post/25348485 or https://feddit.org/post/5050805). It is operated by a non-profit organization (https://fediverse.foundation/) and Lemmy.world already seems like the biggest instance, so in the spirit of decentralization I think it makes sense to spread the content out a little.
Not too sure about lemmy.ml, I know the political views of some of the admin are at least questionable and in general it seems quite political, which I don’t really need for a chess community
The existing chess community on lemmy.ml/c/chess seems to be dead
it looks like !chess@lemmy.ml is averaging a few posts per month this year and has 2.4k subscribers; not very active but i wouldn’t call it dead.
moderators are not reachable
the mods do seem inactive; i and other lemmy.ml admins remove spam if/when it gets reported (which has happened four times this year). if someone (with some posting history) wants to be added as a mod of it just let me know and i’ll add you.
and is hosted on .ml which is defederated by many instances
huh? which instances have defederated lemmy.ml?
NGL, the main reason I gave up on keeping up with that sub is most puzzles didn’t get lichess links.
