Almost under a day. I can now see .world, midwest.social, .ee and others in my feed.

Well we would also not want to be here if .ml was favoured over any other instance, that would kinda make the idea of federation a bit pointless.

Hmmmm, and it does not help the controversy when this issue seems to happen to then fill smaller instances with .ml posts…

And yet they are still struggling to sell the 8.8 million they make a year.

Did they get any? I mean I have got some and I don’t even host anything at all. I am wondering what they did or did not get in relation to legal action.

The advertisement and push they did on sites like reddit and their listing on join-lemmy.org (when they where still listed) made them the biggest instance. And with the name Lemmy.world they did nothing to dissuade anyone from thinking that. If this was all randos pushing the instance then boo to them, but I also saw nothing from .world not claiming to be the bigger instance(super lemmy)

But they are the ones putting themselves up as the superlemmy instance? They are trying to convince people this is the new reddit but somehow that there would be nothing questionable posted?

Yeah, that is kinda what these boxes are for.

"A generic Lemmy server for everyone* to use.

The World’s Internet Frontpage Lemmy.world is a general-purpose Lemmy instance of various topics, for the entire world** to use."

*everyone we approve **entire world may not include you

So are reddit mods, does not make this less slimy

I don’t think it is so difficult but I also think that would lessen the depth and breadth of lemmy as a whole by limiting full participation behind self hosting.

Just wondering and looking at the mod log for one admin and maybe I am crazy but are they unbanning and rebaning users? (Keep in mind it goes new on top):

• admin Banned @snake from the community Lemmy.world Announcements reason: troll
• admin Unbanned @snake
• admin Banned @soviettaters from the community Lemmy.world Announcements reason: Troll
• admin Unbanned @soviettaters
• admin Unbanned @ilfi
• admin Removed Comment Spineless pieces of shit. by @sused reason: toxic
• admin Banned @sused reason: Bye
• admin Banned@ilfi reason: Inactive account comes back to troll. Bye

I think the issue is that .world has put itself forward as some sort of super lemmy. The landing page for new users. I agree people should move but also that we do kinda need a superish lemmy, but one that maybe has all the good and bad. Would it make any sense to have an instance that has no communities of its own but also has all the instances?

Yeahhhh, please leave reddit (they still run ads there for this instance) for lemmy.

I guess they wanted people to feel at home?

I think a this is a bigger issue then just .worlds stance on piracy. Lemmy.world has put it self forward as the “front page of lemmy” but has now also removed one of the largest community using lemmy. And did so with no input on a discord server (not on any instance). This front page status was already shakey with all the down time and clunk. This seems like maybe not the best side to show new users.
