I am definitely considering switching from lemmy.world after the blatent censoring of posts and comments from large communities that happened the past few days.
Yesterday when all this came out I immediately applied to my new instance and let me tell you- seeing all the content I was missing from the places world has defederated has been a blast!
Yeah I have no problem moving it, but I think it might be actually more useful keeping it on LW?
It’s more of a roadsign to point from the most popular instance to lesser popular instances. If we put the sign on a lower traffic instance less people will see it.
Honestly I know nothing about the other servers and picking one is a bit of a headache. I know the team that runs LW is very competent from an IT perspective. To go on another server I’d have to understand who ran it to make sure they truely understood the technical and legal issues in the long run. Is there a site that objectively compares the different instances?
If you would be okay to lock the LW community and point to a new !index@lemmy.zip, I can create it using my alt. You can then create an alt on Lemmy.zip and I would appoint you as moderator.

Same! secret dbzer0 newcomer handshake
I appreciate my instance of Lemmy.zip. I’ve had no issues.
Hello,
Could we then consider moving !index@lemmy.world elsewhere?
Woah I had no idea this community existed. Cool idea.
Hopefully we’ll move it soon ha ha

You can keep keep the current one on LW, but then have a pinned post pointing to the active one elsewhere
!casualconversation@lemmy.world has that

https://lemmy.zip/ is very well run
They regularly post very detailed updates on !home@lemmy.zip such as this one: https://lemmy.zip/post/27236300
They also offer very detailed information on those pages:

Another option is https://lemm.ee, I have a few communities there running smoothly, such as !movies@lemm.ee, !showsandmovies@lemm.ee and !casualconversation@lemm.ee. Second largest instance, so proof of good management
Also keep in mind that if things were to really go south, some instances might defed LW.
Actually, Beehaw is already defederated from LW
Beehaw is also kinda dead from over moderation too
