Hello All, First time poster here. I would just like to say that i tried signing up for beehaw.org but they have some kind of purity test that reminds me of Reddit. Don’t ever sign up for beehaw, that is going to be one hell of a drama filled instance.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Ironically all of the drama and complaining seems to be coming from instances outside of Beehaw, being dramatic and complaining about Beehaw. The content there is actually good.

lemmy.world is probably leading because it’s easy to sign up

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (9 children)

I mean, i would rather have an easy sign up then go through a shitty purity test like beehaw.org makes you go through.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Exactly! Or a waitlist like lemmy.ml. There’s probably going to be some issues with so many people in this instance, but it’s better than an echo chamber.

I'm on my secondary account because of some 0.17.4 vs mobile app compatibility issues, but my accepted application read "I like your moderation philosophy"

That was it.

That was all I wrote.

NGL I thought Blajah would be higher given that 196 moved there

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I kind of feel we're riding the sweet spot on size right now. Seems like a solid amount of content but we've not had so many new users that there's been any sudden cultural shift.

It's great to see Lemmy world growing so fast! As I'm still trying to grasp how to the Fediverse works in practice, how much does one need to 'trust' the lemmy instance?

If the instance is shut down or the owner enacts policies the community doesn't agree with, what happens to all of the content and communities in the instance?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That's great and imma let you finish but remember that decentralization is strength on the fediverse. Join or create other instances, join or create communities on other instances, thats our strength.

On the fediverse, instances come and go. I've seen big instances go down either permanently or temporarily, and ive also seen big communities decide they're turning off federation. The only way to be safe from that is to decentralize, so if something happens there's still something worth doing on the fediverse.

Besides that though, congratulations lemmy.world, I love to see the thrediverse Renaissance we're in, and nothing but love for the folks running this instance and the folks participating on it.

More users does not ALWAYS mean a good thing.

man all I did was make a couple of comments on reddit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Also lemmy.world is extremely slow in pushing out messages to other instances, if at all. So leading the pack is not necessarily the best thing until you figure out scaling.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, they should really consider not accepting new users until that is figured out, honestly. There are plenty of servers out there that people can join at this point. Too much centralization in a decentralized system for my liking regardless of instance scaling.

It's awesome to see the growth, but as a small question, why don't all the instances upgrade to version 0.18? Maybe that version isn't stable enough?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (7 children)

0.18 removed checks and balances to limit bot signups. lemmy.world won't upgrade until this is in place.

To clarify the vague "checks and balances" statement that you were given, it was the captcha feature. It will be added back in 0.18.1
