If there were ever a way to more easily migrate communities, I will also consider this down the line.

Ah that’s a great point actually, and I believe it’s in development as we speak. A lot of people have asked for that feature.

I don’t really like the country analogy but I do agree with your overall point. I think, as Lemmy gets bigger, more people will actually look into different instances and join the ones they relate to or want to participate in the most.

As you said, it’ll take some time, but I do think it’s only a matter of time, if that makes sense haha

Hmm…

IDK, I think a big thing with federation should be communities being spread out, instead of centralized in one instance. I totally get why you would want to move away from lemmy.ml, both on account of the Mali government and feeling like it doesn’t fit, but why not move to, say, Lemmy.zip or Derpzilla.net, since they’re tech and gaming focused instances? I get discoverability, but on the other hand, wouldn’t being on an instance of people that are more likely to care about a certain topic be better for discoverability too?

IDK, just saying. Hope all goes well with your community!

Only OW2 for now, hopefully HS soon though.

Jerboa, Thunder, and Liftoff.

• Jerboa is the most complete, but it’s not very good… It’s slow and the UI is very bland.
• Thunder is great, and has some very nice features. It’s still pretty buggy though.
• Liftoff might be the best out of these 3, but there’s some very bad bugs/problems when dealing with separate instances.

IMO. I use Lemmy on desktop most of the time anyways.
