  • Honestly I know nothing about the other servers and picking one is a bit of a headache. I know the team that runs LW is very competent from an IT perspective. To go on another server I'd have to understand who ran it to make sure they truely understood the technical and legal issues in the long run. Is there a site that objectively compares the different instances?

  • Under settings there is "Import/Export Settings" on the right side. It turns your profile settings data (including subscriptions and blocklists) into a json file.

    Then you create a login on any other server, go to settings and import the file.

    It does not transfer your comments and posts or any other community mod stuff. It is essentially a new account, but with the same user configurable settings.

  • Yeah I have no problem moving it, but I think it might be actually more useful keeping it on LW?

    It's more of a roadsign to point from the most popular instance to lesser popular instances. If we put the sign on a lower traffic instance less people will see it.

  • UnitedHealthcare Group should be in the picture as well, with Andrew Witty $18.8 M (from 2021) 23.5 M last year, according to another commenter.

    Witty is the CEO of the group. Thompson was only CEO of UnitedHealthcare - one of the parent conglomerates' many subsidiaries.

  • I just unsubscribed from almost all lemmy world communities and checked scaled and it's actually a decent sort. Before it was just spam and junk. Not sure why it changed so much.

  • It's a systematic problem. The large LW communities have a stranglehold that prevents new ones from taking hold.

    For Lemmy to improve, there needs to be a very easy way to find new communities, particularly on different instances!

    Currently there is no way to navigate communities on other instances without a direct keyword search, or by opening a private window to get the link directly from the other server as a logged off user. Clicking the 'Communities' link also needs to default to rising new communities, and not to existing communities.

    There also needs to be a major change to the hot/active sorting algorithm to favor small communities with higher engagement % over large ones with higher net upvotes (lower engagement %). The top ten communities should be changing from month to month - otherwise large communities will only get further entrenched and moderation will only get worse.

    This is a change that the devs would have to implement. Otherwise dbzer0 or lemmyzip or whatever other server that grows next will just eventually turn into LW and the same problem will repeat.

    Does anyone know if these ideas have already been discussed in a closed pull request?

  • I am definitely considering switching from lemmy.world after the blatent censoring of posts and comments from large communities that happened the past few days.

  • I looked at the logs myself, and it absolutely was power tripping. Jury nullification discussion isn't even illegal for fucks sake.

  • Jury nullification is one of democracies' systems of checks and balances that protects against injustice. It's also not illegal in the US to talk about as a topic for the general population.

    Banning discussion about it is like banning people from talking about voting or civil disobedience. Banning discussion of it is a disservice to the public good.

  • The weekly post is a good idea. I'll look into maybe creating a bot for that in the future.

    But it would be nice to have a resource where you can easily leave a comment saying a community doesn’t exist anymore or it moved or whatever.

    Couldn't anyone just reply to the deleted community comment link with something like

    <community deleted>

    ?

    I think most communities wind up kinda just going idle rather than deleted. The big communities have such power in numbers, it's very difficult to sustain them without a mass influx like TenForward did. A few others have succeeded.

    I think this just gives a little tool to the small communities that might need it, and it could improve Lemmy overall with more interesting and active smaller communities. The top 50 communities should really be in a constant flux if Lemmy is going to improve over time. Preferably on not just LW as well...

  • Is there a site that shows the status of all the lemmy servers? I saw the graph in your link, but I don't fully understand what it means.

  • An index community for Lemmy

    Jump

  • Is everyone 5 days behind LW? I don't quite really grasp how exactly there is a 5 day lag, shouldn't Lemmy be close to real time? I don't fully understand what's going on in those charts but it looks like the delay will be gone in a few weeks/months?

    As far as hosting it on a different instance, this is just kinda a playful experiment. If it goes well anyone can copy the list and put it a version of it on their server.

    I clicked 5 of the links in the lemmydirectory github/wiki list and all of them the last post was 1 year ago. That's what kinda sucks about all the indexes is that they're either the extremely popular communities which show up in the communities tab, or extremely dead communities. The goal is to get a list of extremely active smaller communities and without changing Lemmy source code myself, this is the next best thing I could think of to make a list like that.
