Yeah, that’s definitely a shame. Let’s see how it goes, but I’m about to create a !usdefaultism somewhere just to list those occurrences

moderation sucks across the vast majority of Lemmy

Moderation isn’t ideal, but absent moderators aren’t going to moderate even with the best tools

Thought process about discuss.online and sopuli as recommendations

There is no ideal generalist instance. If you open the top 20 instances (https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/)

• Lemmy.world is too big
• Lemm.ee is federated with hexbear and lemmygrad, something that is not very welcoming to new users (see this thread: https://sh.itjust.works/post/28798607/15305964 )
• sh.itjust.works names contains “shit”, which can deter users: https://feddit.org/post/4255611/2825351
• lemmy.ca is Canadian-centric
• feddit.org, is German-centric (sidebar in German first, Matrix chat is in German, meta community is in German)
• dbzer0 federates hexbear
• programming.dev is topic-centric
• blahaj is queer-focused
• discuss.tchncs.de has a difficult name
• lemmy.sdf.org does not defederate anyone
• lemmy.zip is federated with hexbear and lemmygrad
• beehaw is way outdated
• infosec.pub is topic-centric
• aussie.zone is country-centric
• midwest.social is region-centric

I ended up with discuss.online and sopuli.xyz as they have

• neutral names
• long running history
• good downtime
• active admins
• defederate hexbear and lemmygrad

If people have other suggestions, feel free

FediDB

Wait, he’s behind FediDB too?

This thread (and others in that post) might interest you: https://communick.news/post/2320430/4138857

Monthly active users increased by 43% between 13 and 14 January: https://pixelfed.fediverse.observer/dailystats

https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats

https://piefed.social/ is catching up

Nice! Feel free to promote it to !yurop@lemm.ee as well

No need to be on Lemmy that much, just watching !fedimemes@feddit.uk you would see Piefed mentioned every week

Same here, on !fediverse@lemmy.world

Curious to see if people haven’t heard about it, Piefed seems to be mentioned quite often

But then if any LW community are going to become US specific from now due to the political climate, should people not interested in that just move elsewhere?

Example: !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world , all the recent posts are about the US elections

Go to your settings, export your settings, then import them on the new account.

That’s it. If you want to be fancy, you can add your new account on your old bio and vice-versa, but that’s mostly it.

If you want to keep your “reputation”, use the same username on both sides, people will recognize you.

OP mentioned typescript, next, React in another comment, but no backend language

Thank you for coming back

security review by someone experienced to make sure we do not instantly get hacked as soon as we open

The source not being open will not prevent attackers from trying to hack your website as it currently online.

If you need help with having a look at the code, you can probably reach out to people here. You might want to shut the website down during the review so that if an issue is discovered it won’t be exploited.

It is typescript, next, React, Cloudflare

Interesting, those are all front-end languages. Do you know which one was used for the back-end?

Hello,

Thank you for commenting here! Do you have any idea of the timeframe when you’ll be able to open source the project?

Also, what are the languages used to develop ClubsAll? Asking as depending on them the number of people able to help would vary.

I’m surprised by the numbers too, why would someone downvote such thread?

So this was on !videos@hexbear.net right?

Then why is Dessalines involved as you are a LW user?

Anyway, you might probably want to report this on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com or !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works rather than here

The other night 337K people all registered to vote, simply because Taylor Swift sent one message on instagram.

That’s the example used by OP to make their point. Just from a technical perspective, how are instances supposed to handle 300k new users overnight?

To come back to your usual argument, do you expect those hundreds of thousands of new users to get a Communick subscription? Or to even support the hosting costs of the instances they would use?

Aside for @blaze@feddit.org: see what I mean about Fedi’s anti-growth and reactionary culture? Our friend here is not an isolated case

It’s more against having celebrities and their followers coming here en masse, which I get.

I’ve still seen a few comments mentioning “organic grow” which seems indeed healthier
