[Meta] It seems that feddit.de communities are moving to feddit.org, is it going to be the plan for this one too? (dormi.zone)

Basically, title.

I randomly stumbled upon !ich_iel@feddit.org, which seems to be the new home of the former !ich_iel@feddit.de (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?

This community is the biggest one by far. Shutting this would be bad IMHO. Is there a way to move it to another instance?

[–] Servais@dormi.zone 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

I agree. This one is definitely the most active one.

@poVoq@slrpnk.net, maybe lemm.ee can be an option? The .ee domain name suggests its' European, and all of the communities are English-speaking.

[–] d_k_bo 9 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] sunaurus@lemm.ee 21 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Hey, lemm.ee admin here - it's actually hosted in Finland!

[–] d_k_bo 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Oh, okay. iplocation.net reports it being hosted in North America.

Edit: it uses Cloudflare, that's why.

[–] Servais@dormi.zone 5 points 5 months ago

Lemm.ee is hosted in Europe, that's why it hosts !yurop@lemm.ee

I also think that choosing another instance as Feddit is a good idea. Also in terms of „supporting the concept of federation“.

So another not to big but also stable, european instance would be the perfect solution in my eyes.

Hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

[–] Servais@dormi.zone 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You can pin a message to a new one, and lock the old one down, that works for most of the people

[–] Parodper@foros.fediverso.gal 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] onion@feddit.de 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Afaik there are no plans to shut the server down

[–] Servais@dormi.zone 5 points 5 months ago

Even if the server keeps running, not being able to access the frontend is a bit worrying

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

There is /c/yurop@lemm.ee

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.

[–] Servais@dormi.zone 4 points 5 months ago

There is /c/yurop@lemm.ee

Which is a laid back community, so no news, probably not a good replacement for !europe@feddit.de

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] sunaurus@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

To be honest, neither Hexbear nor Lemmygrad has caused any noticable issues for lemm.ee. I recently compiled some stats for lemm.ee rule breakers by home instance, and as you can see in this post (in the "Administration" section), neither of those instances even made the top 10.

In general, mods haven't complained about those two instances either, and the stats for community bans by independent community mods are more or less very similar. If any users creates issues in a lemm.ee community, then the community mods are free to just ban those users, regardless of what instance their account is hosted on.

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

Preventing such situations for lemm.ee mods is actually one of the many reasons we don't want to use defederation as a moderation tool on lemm.ee - we rather use site bans etc. Too much collateral damage with defederation, especially when dealing with larger instances which probably have vastly more innocent users than problematic ones. We reserve defederation for more extreme cases, like spam instances & CSAM.

Thank you for your input

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 2 points 5 months ago

I'm not saying to move to .ml, I'm saying it still has quite too many large communities for most instances to consider defederating from them. Personally I block all .ml communities manually since kbin / mbin does not have a universal instance blocking feature.
