Thank you very much for this explanation

Thanks for sharing

It’s you again ha ha

From their sidebar “A general-purpose instance run by a Finn - everyone is welcome here!”

Maybe they are elsewhere than Finland, but that was my assumption

First time I hear about this, I’ll have a look

That’s the biggest con for me as well. They look very nice, but the price tag is quite high.

Definitely, they look so cool!

It says “run a Finn” no?

Nice, thank you for sharing!

I meant hardcore leftists

The PDev version is better anyway.

I have a few communities that are still on .ml, I forgot you guys were defederated, maybe I should move them elsewhere

.ml is okay to discuss Linux, the overlap between the two communities makes sense

Sure unless your instance is defederated, we need more ways to control the content without relying on defederation

Hopefully defederation will happen less and less with 19.X allowing users to block instances themselves

I’m in plenty of communities where there are lots of low value posts that would normally be consolidated into a single stickied post for the community but there isn’t a large enough userbase to make a stickied post worthwhile despite there being multiple communities for that topic.

Any examples of those? What prevents those communities from merging?

I do think it would be nice if there was a way for community mods to choose to combine two communities across instances,

If they are willing to cooperate that far, they could as well merge the communities

What would help is that people stopped trying to find a “canonical place” to put content and just went on to put content without much worry. I have been basically posting on !humanscale@communick.news by myself. Would it be nice if more people posted? Yes. Do you think I will just give up because it’s been six months and no one else cared to post there? Of course not.

Today I learned about this community, seems interesting

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

There isn’t one “most active one” because federation isn’t perfect and every instance sees a different number of users/posts.

Number of users is pretty similar in my experience, with an average difference between 2 and 10 users.
