This English speaking βeurope@feddit.deβ 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 isnβt 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.

MODERATORS
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.
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.

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.
@admin@feddit.org, @BurningTurtle@feddit.org @Ranslite@feddit.org @surprised_pikachu@feddit.org, 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
Danke!

I doubt they took that from the feddit.de sidebar
Hi, i am the one who wrote the sidebar. Yes i took the text from feddit.de as a template.
Thanks for the explanation

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.
@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.
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.
Hey, lemm.ee admin here - it's actually hosted in Finland!
Oh, okay. iplocation.net reports it being hosted in North America.
Edit: it uses Cloudflare, that's why.
I also think that choosing another instance as Feddit is a good idea. Also in terms of βsupporting the concept of federationβ.
So another not to big but also stable, european instance would be the perfect solution in my eyes.
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.
Afaik there are no plans to shut the server down
Even if the server keeps running, not being able to access the frontend is a bit worrying

Is this intentionally english speaking, or does this just reflect the population of lemmy ?
I'd prefer a multilingual europe instance, ou chacun parle sa langue, para aumentar la diversidad.
I didn't create this community, but there is another German speaking "europa" community on feddit.de and this one was as far as I know always near 100% English.
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.
Afaik the (sole) admin is inactive so the website wasn't fixed when it went down.
There's two actually. The second one hopped on board shortly before the first one went to Asia on some work (IIRC).
And the second one has trouble with the SSH-key and a case of RL-stuff going on.
Web access doesnβt work for months now and the admin has disappeared.
Feddit.de? The admin has been having issues, which is why they started https://feddit.org/.
You can see that in their sidebar

Feddit.org dient als Reddit-Alternative im Fediverse.
It would actually be kinda cool to have something like a feddit.eu server where communities from all across Europe/the EU can reside. But I am not against a move to .org either, except for the fact that they label themselves an English-German speaking community. I am not German. π
feddit.eu seems to be a one-person abandoned instance. To me, feddit.org seems like a fine place.
There's also !europe@jlai.lu - but it seems to be exclusively francophone.
Thereβs also !europe@jlai.lu - but it seems to be exclusively francophone.
It is, the same way !europa@feddit.de was German speaking
Yes, and like feddit.dk is Danish-speaking. These language-specific instances make sense, and ideally we'd have a different instance for international communities like a europe-community. But, you know, beggars can't be choosers and so it seems like we need to make a suboptimal choice :)
I am not sure I got your comment right
Lemm.ee is an English speaking European instance that could host the !Europe instance.
It is different in that regard compared to feddit.dk, feddit.org, feddit.UK, jlai.lu, feddit.org, I don't think there is even an Estonian speaking community on Lemm.ee
All of the other instances named in the previous paragraph have a focus on their local language, lemm.ee does not.
lemm.ee seems like a better choice indeed. But, you do you.
I suppose :) I just like feddit.org - as a name - better than lemm.ee - but that's just my preference.
I suggest the mod of this community makes a decision and we do that.
....so.... feddit.org? What's the alternative?
Lemm.ee
