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!
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 like anything that pulls users away from big instances and onto smaller ones. Guys, it’s not a DECENTRALIZED system if you’re all centralizing on one massive instance.
I wish there was a way to keep communities “in sync”, like you have the big and small communities with the same posts and comments, everything’s the same, so people who are on Lemmy.world could go to Android@Lemmy.World and have the same content we have here without having to discover this community.
Would help combat fragmentation, and the sync could be broken if things go south
The advantage to decentralized to me is not to have more instances, its that if things go wrong everyone can bail.
To where, if the big instance that everyone centralized on goes to shit? The internet itself is decentralized. Anyone can run a website, but no matter how enshittified corporate websites become, people are “somehow” still stuck on Google, Meta, Microsoft etc. websites and services.
