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).

Can't you just follow them all from a 3rd server, even a mastodon server?

Anyone know where the r/learnjapanese folks ended up?

What value do you get out of that sub, out of curiosity? I found it to have good resources that have been aggregated but the most awful “community”. So many weebs with minor proficiency attacking and berating posters.

It is very highly ranked on Google unfortunately, and I have a bunch of old saved posts.

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

selfhosted@lemmy.world is very active.

I mean, I have no huge interest in this battle but if you are on neither you can certainly federate with both.

This is a huge advantage of a large number of smaller servers, defederation as a policy decision by your instance administrator can be solved by moving to a new one without nearly as much trouble if you disagree with it.

The huge disadvantage (or advantage as it evolves) is that technology@lemmy.bobstown and technology@kbin.char (made up instances) have different membership and moderation.

It will be interesting to see how that goes, I expect niche topics to end up accumulating on one or two servers to gain enough membership while huge topics end up with more serious siloing by instance.

Just went to the 'Programming' lemmy/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.

The irony.

> 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.
