Basically, title.
I randomly stumbled upon [email protected], which seems to be the new home of the former [email protected] (they even added a last meme on the latter: https://feddit.org/post/22759)
I also had a look at https://feddit.org/c/main but my German is very basic, the most interesting topic seems to be a tutorial on how to migrate accounts from feddit.de to feddit.org
Are we planning to do the same?
…so… feddit.org? What’s the alternative?
This English speaking “[email protected]” was always a bit out of place on a primarily German speaking instance. The same would be true for feddit.org, I guess. Maybe we should just depreciate this community and see if another English speaking Europe community takes over? As long as it isn’t the one on lemmy.ml (which has major moderation issues), I think I would be fine with that. I only stepped up moderating it on feddit.de because it was very active at the time and the previous mod stepped down.
I specifically voted for feddit.org with this community in mind during the name poll, because it was more international sounding than the other options.
If someone wants to create an English speaking Europe community on feddit.org I would certainly not be against it. Ultimatly it is up to the subscribers to decide where to go.
I pinned this thread in the community, so people can promote their proposed alternatives here.
So from that I gather that you personally do not have an interest in moving the community over to it.
To be fair, the whole sidebar of feddit.org is in German, and specifically mentions being German speaking
It’s presumably mostly taken from the original feddit.de instance. Maybe something to talk to the admins about. Personally I think a European instance makes more sense than a purely German one.
@[email protected], @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected], what do you think?
Is feddit.org a good place for an English speaking !Europe community, or do you prefer to keep the instance German speaking?
I’m an admin. You’re welcome to migrate over to us.
thanks for bringing this up, we’ll discuss this in the team and provide an answer soon
Hi, i am the one who wrote the sidebar. Yes i took the text from feddit.de as a template.
I would much rather someone else takes over moderation, yes. Both because of various federated moderation bugs in Lemmy making it hard to moderate a community that isn’t on your home instance and because I have way to many communities that I moderate already.
If needed, I would be willing to help with moderation, but not be the main moderator of such a new community.
This community is the biggest one by far. Shutting this would be bad IMHO. Is there a way to move it to another instance?
I agree. This one is definitely the most active one.
@[email protected], maybe lemm.ee can be an option? The .ee domain name suggests its’ European, and all of the communities are English-speaking.
lemm.ee seems to be hosted in the USA. I would very much prefer a european instance. lemmings.world and lemmy.cafe could be an option.
Lemm.ee is hosted in Europe, that’s why it hosts [email protected]
Hey, lemm.ee admin here - it’s actually hosted in Finland!
Is there a way to move it to another instance?
Hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think so.
You can pin a message to a new one, and lock the old one down, that works for most of the people
In that case mods should do that ASAP, to give enough time to people to notice it before the server shuts down.
Also should probably create the new community, lemm.ee doesn’t seem to have one already.
There is /c/[email protected]
Edit: the problem with lemm.ee is that their block-list lacks some instances that are likely to be problematic for this community specifically, as seen on the lemmy.ml equivalent.
Which ones? feddit.org has at least hexbear and lemmygrad blocked. lemmy.ml is probably still a bit too big on some communities for many to outright block yet.
The community on lemmy.ml has the problem that there are some very persistent users that constantly post pro-Russian propaganda or similar mis-information to it, and the lemmy.ml admins refuse to appoint a new mod and seem to be generally fine with that. I certainly wouldn’t want to moderate a similar community where Hexbear and Lemmygrad users have full access to like they would on lemm.ee. if fact I wouldn’t even be able to as my home instance is defederated from these instances and thus such posts would be invisible to me.
There is /c/[email protected]
Which is a laid back community, so no news, probably not a good replacement for [email protected]
The size of this community alone shows the need for it. That said, feddit.org seems like a good new home for it since .org is a language neutral tld and the server is german AND English speaking after all.
What’s the matter with this instance? I see that the main page doesn’t load.
Feddit.de? The admin has been having issues, which is why they started https://feddit.org/.
You can see that in their sidebar
Wir sind eine deutschsprachige Lemmy Community und entwickelten uns aus feddit.de heraus.
Feddit.org dient als Reddit-Alternative im Fediverse.
