How much are additional lemmy instances needed/wanted beyond what we have at present?

  I would first offer to help on existing instances. There are a few that are behind updates, so the admins could maybe use some help

    Blaze you are a horrible person <3

    It’s really cringe you rep that sonichu pfp considering what Chris Chan did to their mother.

    But considering who we both know you are it’s actually pretty fitting.

    Blocked yet again. Please stop spamming the fediverse with your alts.

  More Tor friendly instances would be nice. Most Lemmy instances use things like Cloudflare that freak out over Tor connections so just registering/logging into the instance is a PITA, let alone browsing. Extra bonus if the instance actually hosts the Lemmy instance in Tor itself (though realistically the rest of the Lemmy instance would still run on the clearnet since it still needs to communicate with the rest of the Fediverse).

    Interesting point. I’ll take .onion into consideration.

  Remember, if CSAM gets on your instance, you could be in legal trouble.

  lemmy.world went through that in the past

    I know. I’m seriously considering making it invite-only, or adk nicely via Matrix. No e-mail needed, but joining won’t be easy either.

    And with two rules:

    • Don’t behave in a way that results in a ban.
    • Common sense applies.

  I don’t think there is a huge need at the moment. Things will probably develop naturally. E.g. if some communities find they would like one, they would start one, with rules, blocks, membership, financing that fits their needs.

  just dicking around on my own for testing purposes.

  Start with this, and if it gets traction, you can always move it to a more serious setup.

  That’s pretty much what happened with this instance

    Ada when are you going to start allowing trans people on blahaj again?

    There’s still a whole 196 community you banned for not paying dragonfucker’s troll games.

  Non us based? In case things go to the shitter.

    Yes. European, to be specific.

  I’d like some that would fit the same discussions ane memes as dankchristianmemes and the knowledge fight podcast subreddits

  • neidu3@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Do you mean communities? I’m a certified technocrat myself, so I’m all in favor of more knowledgefight, but my question is more about instances/servers. Decentralization is always good, but I was just wondering if Lemmy is already centralized “enough” based on its current usage stats.

    • Kowowow@lemmy.ca ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Ya larger umbrella communities would be sweet but to the real point I’m based out of lemmy .ca and haven’t noticed anything worth complaining about and as long I can see similar posts across all available instances I wouldn’t turn down thing being a bit more decentralized

      To the other point I’m but a lollie wonk and even had a spelling error in my shoutout
