Sorry to hear. If you want a more laid-back community, there is !casualconversation@lemmy.world

Sorry for this kind of aggressivity

Same experience here in private mode

Small promotion for !languagelearning@sopuli.xyz, still a bit small but growing!

Logseq is another interesting tool https://logseq.com/

The Windev advertising material is really something…

Thanks for sharing CC!

A few obscure national film makers, but you probably need to understand the language to really get their movies, so that makes sense.

Also, feel free to come to !moviesandtv@lemm.ee to come talk about movies!

Are you sure it’s mostly text? Memes communities are quite popular

Hello!

Edit: This was only like six months ago and recounting the tale to all you whippersnappers is making me feel like an old grandma telling tales of the war.

Exactly my feeling

To be fair, it has a lot of implications. Would your posts be reposted included the likes, reposts, replies, etc? The dependencies among this things can quickly get out of hand, especially in a federated context

I had a look at how Mastodon does it, it’s not that much fancier to be honest, just a “The account has moved”, and following the new account needs to be done manually by followers.

Anyone viewing your profile can see this notice and will know to follow you at your new account. Following redirected accounts is not possible.

Edit: even the moving feature does not move the posts

Your posts will not be moved, due to technical limitations.

I’m not aware of any federated service where complete migration is possible, do you have any in mind?

On the other hand, I see a few times a week some people saying that they only browse communities on their instance because they don’t want to create accounts on every instance, and they cannot use their credentials on other instances.

people can’t migrate their account to another instance after joining

Just for reference, the recommended workaround to export the subs and block lists is https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim

all far-right trolls are from there.

Interesting, my personal experience has been more spread, including a few very toxic users on lemme.ee.

The are in the top 5 biggest instances (and programming.dev changed their own account of active users recently), so statistically that makes sense.

Join-lemmy was different at the time. There were only a few instances listed, and most of them where either quite selective in their registration, completely closed, or open. LW was among the last ones.

There was also the trend (and I did it as well) to tell Reddit users to “just go to LW, it’s like Reddit” to avoid having to confuse them with federation.

At the time, LW was among the only ones that could handle the influx of registrations.

So naturally, it became the default one, as people would want to get on the biggest one, similar to a way the biggest Mastodon instance is very prevalent.

People were also afraid their All feed won’t be as full if they were not on LW.

Nowadays I think the repartition is a bit better, and most of the top communities have at least an equivalent out of LW.
