I have nothing bad to say about Lemmy.world, but I do recommend that people move away from it in order to better decentralize Lemmy. Here is some useful information for people wanting to move instances.

For a list of instances, along with with stats for those instances:

https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy or https://lemmyverse.net/

Also, tools for migrating instances:

Lemmy is a federated network (part of the Fediverse), meaning that, for the most part, all instances are linked together and share most of the same information and comments. If people move from one instance to another then their experience will be almost identical.

If you already have an account on Lemmy.world then you can transfer your account information to an account on a different instance by using one of the many tools created by Lemmy's users. The reason you would move away from Lemmy.world is that it helps decentralize Lemmy's data, so that if one instance goes down it doesn't have a large impact on others' Lemmy experience.

If you are using an instance with only 10 users, then here are some issues you might run into: there are less users to update the instance's 'communities' page, so you might have to add some communities to the instance manually; there aren't as many people maintaining the instance, so it might not be as well-maintained as some larger instances; the server costs might not be worth hosting for just 10 users (donate to your host, if you have the means to do so). However, there are a lot of smaller instances that are just as well-maintained as Lemmy.world (like Midwest.social).

I hope this helped you understand Lemmy a little better.

Yeah, it is. It's nothing new. Here is a post about it from 3 years ago:

I love shitting on reddit as much as the next guy, but I don't think they are actually implementing this.

I haven't used them, but others are recommending these tools for transferring your user info:

No idea. But if I were to guess, it looks like 'www.hexbear' was added in July and then reposted in August in an attempt remove the 'www'. I assume their intention was to follow the same syntax as everyone else, but they weren't able to delete the original 'www.hexbear'. Probably user error, but that's just a guess.

I have no doubt that the majority of Floridians will be civil, even around leftists and LGBTQ+ people. However, much of the recent legislation in Florida has been straight-up fascist. Also, Florida is seeing an influx of radical conservatives moving there, along with a lot of left-leaning and LGBTQ+ people leaving. That's what I mean when I say that "it's getting there".

I don't know man, it's getting there. The same could be said for Texas.

I recommend people move away from Lemmy.world. Having ~28% of Lemmy users on a single instance is not good for the health of Lemmy overall.

For those that want to move to a different instance, here is a link to Lemmy instances sorted by user count: https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy

I moved to a different instance about a month ago, after lemmy.world got hacked. I haven't had any issues on Midwest.social. I suggest other people do the same if they want Lemmy to be feasible in the long term. Get the fuck off Lemmy.world.

Because Firefox is better.

I don't care what the CEO of a corporation is doing because most of them are conservative pieces of shit.
