The other 196 seems to be regarded as the “real” 196, so this community is now 195!
Lmao true. I don’t want any sort of controversy, and if things naturally don’t shake out in this 196s favour I’m not going to throw some sort of hissy fit. This post is only meant to avoid confusion, not to stur up conflict
@moss i think that whichever one goblinhog decides to join first should be the real one, and we should wait for him like christians wait for the second coming of christ.
I agree 100%. Goblinhog could say the new r/196 is on Pinterest and I’d follow wholeheartedly
Wait, have I missed something. What’s going on? What’s the controversy?
Edit: nevermind, I figured it out
What happened?
I am subscribed to both, now I get double the rules! Wait…
It’s not official, 196 mods just mentioned blahaj zone in a sticky about Reddit alternatives before going dark. There probably won’t be an"official" one coronated I wouldn’t think.
They’re both the same size (~350 subscribers). If you’re viewing an external community on your home instance it always shows less users. (I think it’s federated users shared maybe?)
Instance size doesn’t really matter. If anything smaller can be better to avoid being on an overloaded instance.
That said I’m not really advocating one over the other. And with how Lemmy is set up it doesn’t really matter to have some redundancy imo
Guess I’ll just post my memes on both ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Instance size doesn’t really matter
Not only that, we had lemmy.blahaj.zone up and running months before lemmy.world was even a sparkle in its admins eye :)
