I know. But not everybody seems to share your enthusiasm for locking the communities on world.

Looking at your examples:

The movie ones: To me the world one looks like the way healthier community, a lot more different users posting stuff, on lemm.ee it’s mostly some power users creating all the content, actually really only moderators of that community. I find you talking about how it is the more active community a bit dishonest tbh. Same i found with the dataisbeautiful one. I have a feeling you care more about computers (fedi infra) than the topics.

The gaming one somebody else told you their opinion on it, and why it is a good community.

The android ones… i don’t really have an opinion on it. IIRC at first they were all on the world (or.ml?) one and then created the lemdro.id instance. What about the .ml one by the way? Why is it only ever a problem when world has a community that exists elsewhere?

Generally i don’t think having multiple active c’s is all that problematic, at least they are active.

From your message, I feel like people on LW want to keep communities on “LW instances”, I’m wondering why.

Because these communities are already there and are active, that’s why. Not everybody has to share your enthusiasm for removing communities from lemmy.world.

one of the oldest

Damn, rooki taking swings at the higher ups.

I understood you could, with the friends plugin:

If you also have the ActivityPub plugin installed, you can follow people on Mastodon and other ActivityPub-compatible social networks.

Please share with the lemmy.world admins that i don’t want to be defederated with lemmy.ml then too. OP should really ask their own instance admin though, what the hell.

How would that work?

I am never sure if the “french are rude” cliche is some anglosphere joke or if they really think that. Certainly is not my experience, been to France a lot.

Yeah i don’t really see the difference in topic, also on the same instance.

Why birds and not !birding@lemmy.world ?

Spain has taco bell too, i have not tried taco bell ever though.

Thank you for being careful.

All good now.

If this is what the lemmyverse wants for its future, i am definitely wrong here.

No. And it was really also only one good sucker punch, so definitely could have come worse. What messed me up mentally too was that it happened like 200m from my appartment.

I got jumped out of nowhere by two guys on my way home in the night. It sucked. Couldn’t get it out of my mind for the next six months or so.

Very friendly community, one of my favorites on lemmy.

Haha. I started feeding birds on my balcony this winter and i love it.

I don’t go out to watch birds (yet), but i love checking what’s up with the birds in the garden, know pretty much all of them, learning their songs etc.

Also now on vacation i am way more tuned into what the birds are doing than i used to be, kinda opened another audible dimension.

Broken collar bone, the classic.

Sorry if i came off rude, i am just so over people claiming that every kind of cycling is dangerous and all that can save you is a helmet.

I mentioned in another comment that there is a dutch study that finds the helmeted rider to be more than 25 times more likely to end up in a hospital. 25 times more likely. Obviously roadies and MTBers. I am absolutely not saying people should stop road or mountain biking, even that is not all that dangerous and practitioners don’t all end up dead or crippled sooner or later.

But if a person is just casually cycling without a helmet, they are doing much more for their safety than those sporty riders with helmets. Somehow this then always gets countered with “i know someone who fell on his head while stationary and is now being spoonfed by his loved ones. No, he didn’t have clips / clipless pedals”. Made up bullshit in 99.9% of cases, i have seen this in almost every helmet topic i have read.
