Is this being worked on/looked at? I ask since the post mentioned discussion was happening with the .id admins but I haven’t seen any answers about whether that’s a priority (it seems Lemdro.id is the one that needs to federate with k.bin).
Just kinda bummed since I use kbin the vast majority of this time.
Edit: ah cool, quick turnarounds are sexy. Thanks @cole@lemdro.id!
Hello! Admin here at lemdro.id. This is the result of several problems in the default reference nginx config. I am working on resolving this right now and should have it fixed within the next 30 minutes!
Yo, I’m a Kbin.social member and can report we’re federating now
Great news! Likewise, kbin.social doesn’t seem to be updating content from lemmy.world communities either (I’m seeing some a week late).
I’m happy to see the merger and happy to see /r/Android show up on Lemmy. I think it’s nice to see it move off of Lemmy.world. as well. It will help lighten the load.
Man, I’m really not feeling the community merge. Moving the 5th biggest lemmy.world community to one that’s like 12x smaller in subscription size feels like an unnecessary hit to any momentum it had. Especially because asking people who moved places like Reddit to move again does not sound like a good idea (though obviously less effort than moving to another website).
I do hope I’m completely wrong though and hope this comm gains lots of traction. Moving to an instance dedicated to tech does sounds like a good idea (although I don’t know the benefits yet). Also, if it had to happen, better now than later.
I feel this is the right move since /r/Android is promoting lemdro.id, this move also takes a big load off of lemmy.world.
It took me 10 seconds to subscribe to the new one from the links in the announcement post so not particularly impactful to me
Suspect there will be a lot of this over the next year or so while people figure out how everything works
You don’t need to move instance to subscribe to the new community. You can do that with your existing account from any instance.
I agree. I can understand this is a tech-focused instance but that doesn’t means Lemmy World was not right for us. If someone creates an Android-focused instance then we would move again because that would be even more suitable than this one?
However I expect the community to keep growing and next time it would be nice if mods ask the members before taking decisions that affect the whole community.
lemdro.id was actually created with the original intent of hosting Android, but has kind of grown a little to more general technical content in the same realm. I definitely hear your point though. Personally, my hope is this helps take load off of lemmy.world. This is my contribution to make the fediverse more viable long-term as it continues to grow
I agree as well, I think a vote next time with the members of the community would be better before making a change.
It seemed like the community over on lemmy.world had more posts and subscribers as well. As someone else mentioned, at a time like this when users are moving from Reddit to Lemmy, now users are being asked to move again to another community. I understand its not hard to click subscribe on the new community, but at the same time all of the posts and comments will no longer be displayed here.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, truly. The hope is to actually have better accessibility from across the Fediverse with the move. Lemmy.world is grappling with some challenges that come along with its scale, including being de-federated from Beehaw. Lemdro.id currently maintains federation with both and, with the fixes Cole made to the Lemmy Nginx config, should be accessible just fine from Fedia as well.
One major plus here is also our time zone coverage for moderation. Steve and Devgard help fill out our moderator time zone spread, which is quite comprehensive now. We’re already seeing attempts at spam in the Fediverse and moderator tools aren’t quite there yet… so the manual efforts are pretty key!
Glad to see this has been solved thanks to Cole addressing a bug in the Lemmy’s Nginx config!
Heads up, you can actually also edit submission titles on Lemmy as well!
Thanks. That was something that I always though was dumb about reddit.
It’s amazing what we end up acclimating to. Such a basic feature. Glad to see it here!
When did they merge and where can we read about this merger?
Edit: Found it
Working now for me.
What do you mean by this? Merger from lemmy.world?
My subscription here is still showing as pending, why?
