Just by checking https://lemmy.ml/communities one can see the most popular communities of lemmy.ml. The plan here is to list all the alternatives for those from other instances.

nazi/scat trolls all seem to come from a certain domain, and i've never seen any actual content from it. so why are we still federated with it?

https://ubuntuforums.org/index.php - Members 2,162,171 Active Members 981 Which are insane numbers. [The known fediverse has 6,114,687 members](https://the-federation.info/)

Sopuli.xyz: Your little infiltrator isn't just another pawn. They're the one responsible for Lemmyml's condition. Midwest.social: What? Sopuli: Despite what the world thinks, we're not just losers, or fedizens or gamers. The people in this sub, the leaders of the other seven instances, we're the ones that keep the fediverse safe from the evils everyone knows about! It's why we meet in encrypted rooms, why we work in the shadows. So you tell me, Midwest, when you brought your weebs to the federation, did you think you were being discreet, or did you just not give a damn!? Midwest: Discreet wasn't working. The people of fediverse needed someone to protect them; someone who would act. When they look to the federated timeline and see our weebs, they feel safe, and lemmygrad will feel our strength. Sopuli: (starts laughing) You... You think they're scared of your little weebs? I've been out there and I've seen the things she's made, and let me tell you - they are fear.

Whats the deal? Personally I exited lemmy.ml to [get away from it.](https://lemmy.ml/post/208628)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.perthchat.org/post/79050 > we can make this a tradition when people start on lemmy.ml/(twitter/fb/etc) and then make an announcement post with their account contributions and announce account retirement, and choosing a smaller instance to migrate to. Also making the choice whether to confirm their next identity or continue anonymously.

It would be nice if we could organize it so it's not just one person reaching out to all the instance admins/random people. Already part of the federation: - beehaw.org - fapsi.be - lemmy.ca - midwest.social + buckeyestate.social - lemmy.perthchat.org - sopuli.xyz - mander.xyz mod - jeremmy.ml - community.nicfab.it - group.lt --- waiting for a response from: --- no reply from/no; - mander admin - no reply in 2 months - community.hackliberty.org - no reply in 2 months - slrpnk.net --- affiliated: - feddit (german mostly) - nrsk.no (Norwegian, Swedish or Danish mostly) - lemmy.paxanimi.club (Russian)

Anyone else giving it a watch? I’ve linked to an article trashing it because it seems to be love / hate going on but coversely I’m digging it.

I was asked to do a list of instances that don't federate with lemmygrad.ml, so there it is (in addition to Sopuli): - beehaw.org - feddit.de - wolfballs.com - lemmy.rollenspiel.monster - szmer.info - midwest.social - lemmy.perthchat.org

Visually the bits they show look great, will be interesting how they interpret/expand the stories.

I have domain and VPS hosting on Vultr, but i am not familiar with working on command lines etc... If someone is interested to help me install Lemmy instance please let me know

Good to see them testing the waters.
