I don’t know if LW is too big, but there is such a thing a too big. Ideally no single instance should have to use “federation-style” synchronization within itself. Below that size economies of scale might justify growth, above… not so much.
LW is trying to be Reddit 2.0 with all the excessive moderation and “real” email address requirements. Hell, it might be even worse.
“real” email address requirements
First time I hear about it. So you can’t just register with any email provider?
They don’t allow burner addresses.
What about simplelogin?
I don’t know.
Hm, I registered with my own domain… Worked fine
nice to know they’re blacklisting burners instead of whitelisting “known” email domains at least!
Correct.
I’m in lemmy world. Is that bad?
It’s okay. It’s usually the concentration that communities rather than users that’s a bit concerning
Why world it be?
if it doesn’t feel bad you’re probably fine
We need a server that just proxies the main instances but filters out every post containing “Trump” or “Musk”.
I’d subscribe to that one.
Nah, we just need native lemmy filters, us non americans wouldn’t be missing out on much anyway. (better rules too, we need those)
Most news containing them is just clickbait and always shit like “trump says” “trump slams”
yes exactly thank you for this link :)
if you need any help setting up that new instance, let me help you :D i’m located in austria, if that matters.
Do you have experience in sysadmin of Lemmy instances? 😄

9 LW communities in the top 10. 5 out of 10 from 11 to 20.
Lol [email protected] is at number 14 and it’s only existed less than two and a half days.
Very well done by the community indeed
Damn that’s impressive. I guess we fedifolk are already practiced at packing up and moving when the local authority turns to shit
I may say this as a LW user, but LBZ feels like home and the whole community was rightfully pretty hurt about the 196 drama. Glad everyone stood together and made it clear what was up, and that Ada’s work in particular is much appreciated
They’re also anti-luigi
Isn’t [email protected] literally hosted there?
No, [email protected] is not hosted on [email protected]
For the record: Drag directed an individual to commit a specific act of violence that would likely result in suicide, which led to Drag being banned. This decision was based on basic community standards and not motivated by any “anti-Luigi” or “anti-leftist” sentiment.
Edit: For the record, this user was banned from this community for vote manipulation of this comment.

Drag gets that your theory sounded nice, but it’s not true and here’s the proof. The 196 mods were not concerned with encouraging suicide.
Ah sorry, I thought drag meant LW as it is the subject of the topic.
Well, there are probably other communities to discuss Luigis.
Drag thinks this sucks and is gonna try and make a leftist 196 community
Drag does drag I guess
In another month or so when LW updates (the synching issue will actually be delayed even further beyond that they said), will this really be as much of an issue anymore?
If they want to provide hosting services, then let them? We can always move if we don’t like them, and let’s face it that some of those giant communities are fairly toxic and would remain so wherever they go.
Then again perhaps I am speaking of things that I do not know here: out of the top 10 communities listed there, I am not subscribed to any of them.

Wdym too big. It’s like a fraction of a fraction of reddit
It’s too big regarding the whole platform. https://lemmy.world/comment/14610021
Also https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/ 16k users out of 43k are on LW
