Subreddit Migration Directory

Just went to the &#x27;Programming&#x27; lemmy&#x2F;beehaw and the first thing I see is a post about how they have had to defederate from some instances because of a lack of proper mod tools, trolls and bad actors.<p>The irony.<p>&gt; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;beehaw.org&#x2F;post&#x2F;567170" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;beehaw.org&#x2F;post&#x2F;567170</a><p>&gt; these two instances’ open registration policy, which is extremely problematic for us given how federation works and how trivial it makes trolling, harassment, and other undesirable behavior;<p>&gt; unfortunate reality we’ve also found is we just don’t have the tools or the time here to parse out all the good from all the bad. all we have is a nuke and some pretty rudimentary mod powers that don’t scale well. we have a list of improvements we’d like to see both on the moderation side of Lemmy and federation if at all possible–but we’re unanimous in the belief that we can’t wait on what we want to be developed here.

Beehaw became a hub for the exodus largely through a misunderstanding—they were already active when Lemmy exploded, so a lot of the exiles found their way into their communities, but Beehaw&#x27;s culture is in a lot of respects incompatible with Reddit&#x27;s. It was only a matter of time before they decided preserving their community was more important than sheltering all of Reddit&#x27;s exiles.<p>I highly recommend reading Beehaw&#x27;s history that they link from their sidebar. It helped me better understand the value proposition of the fediverse, and goes a long way towards explaining their perspective on the necessity of defederating the large instances:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;beehaw.org&#x2F;post&#x2F;107014" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;beehaw.org&#x2F;post&#x2F;107014</a>

Just remember, if you want to interact with both selfhosted@lemmy.world and Technology@beehaw.org (edit: and have an account on either!), you need two accounts, because beehaw.org defederated lemmy.world, funnily enough, because of lacking mod-tools (part of the reason of the Reddit uproar).

I think this is Reddit single handedly doing what we have been wanting for so long a.k.a. decentralised communities.<p>The only advantage(?) Reddit had over these was a user could have feed from all these communities which is still possible with RSS<p>Edit: I want to know where r&#x2F;selfhosted ended up, anyone knows?

Devils advocate:<p>The poor showing of migrated communities - both low volume of migrations, and poor performance of the servers running them, isn’t helping the cause.<p>Like, I look at that list and the broken-overloaded lemmys running them and I can’t help but think this is why Reddit is successful and will continue to be successful. Because very, very few will put up with such a poor experience the alternatives offer.<p>Of course, if there’s some serious effort put in asap into the usability, stability and overall experience of the decentralised communities approach, then Reddit may falter. I’m not optimistic.

&gt; r&#x2F;StarWars: Star Trek@startrek.website<p>Please tell me this is a joke.

The top post on the most well known Lemmy instance (Lemmy.ml) is an announcement from the server admin that Lemmy.ml is now running on a dedicated machine, with 6 cores and 32 gb ram.<p>Good for them, but this is supposed to be the Reddit replacement? A forum that was, until recently, just running on some guy’s computer? I know there are other instances but are there any serious ones?

Another list: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quippd.com&#x2F;writing&#x2F;2023&#x2F;06&#x2F;15&#x2F;unofficial-subreddit-migration-list-lemmy-kbin-etc.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quippd.com&#x2F;writing&#x2F;2023&#x2F;06&#x2F;15&#x2F;unofficial-subredd...</a>

Can we go back to separate forums? That was a better time.

I find it ironic that selfhosted isn’t running their own Lemmy instance.

Shameless plug: I have created <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;infosec.pub&#x2F;c&#x2F;exploitdev" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;infosec.pub&#x2F;c&#x2F;exploitdev</a>, a community inspired by &#x2F;r&#x2F;netsec, &#x2F;r&#x2F;vrd and &#x2F;r&#x2F;ReverseEngineering (no relation to any of these and I am not the admin of infosec.pub either) dedicated to technical security research content. The instance also has other infosec-related communities which I hope will get traction as well.

All the best over at Lemmy. I&#x27;m sure the community is more than happy to operate at a loss in perpetuity, unlike Reddit.<p>Please let us know when we can access <i>our</i> contributions again.

Anyone know where the r&#x2F;learnjapanese folks ended up?

I see Beehaw on there a couple times.<p>The defederation wars have already begun [0][1]<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;beehaw.org&#x2F;post&#x2F;567170" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;beehaw.org&#x2F;post&#x2F;567170</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lemmy.sdf.org&#x2F;post&#x2F;69543" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lemmy.sdf.org&#x2F;post&#x2F;69543</a>

This is great! There are obviously fewer users but I find myself preferring that.

What do I need to do to get access to all this content on my Android phone in an easy to use single app experience?

&gt; r&#x2F;StarWars: Star Trek@startrek.website<p>This is going to greatly upset fans of both Star Wars <i>and</i> Star Trek, heh!

Personally I&#x27;d prefer a subreddit to subreddit mapping. &#x2F;r&#x2F;newzealand is refusing to let you read or post? Go to &#x2F;r&#x2F;aotearoa. Can&#x27;t talk about F1 in &#x2F;r&#x2F;formula1? Check out &#x2F;r&#x2F;f1 etc.<p>I&#x27;m not interested in Lemmy or Mastodon or any of this stuff.

Reddit is built on volunteers and those volunteers are unhappy.<p>Large subreddits simply cannot work without moderation. When that happens, Reddit is forced to close them.<p>So either Reddit replaces all mods with AI in the short term, or brings back the mods, or just ceases to exist.

Anybody know the monthly cost of running a Lemmy instance?

Anyone have news about r&#x2F;opendirectories ??

I don&#x27;t know how HN ranking works..but this link just moved to 2nd page.

It’s a pretty short list at the moment.
