    What’s up with world? I’ve seen that there are a lot of complaints going on about it, but what is the underlying problem?

      It’s reddit. As in reddit right now reddit. Just without the ads.

      Also the entire point of federated networks is decentralization, if any one instance is too big, it risks snowballing into the only populated instance.

        big, it risks snowballing into the only populated instance.

        …which has been happening for a few months now. 90% of the newcomers join LW, either because someone recommends it to them or because they just don’t care about decentralization or don’t understand federation.

        LW should actually close their registrations down for a while, but I guess they just don’t want to (iirc the admins acted pretty ignorant). It is very concerning that most active communities are in LW or Lemmy.ml.

            No idea, I’m not the one that owns !asklemmy@lemmy.world, so ask @Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world instead. In fact, you asked me about this in the past. Didn’t you say you would make one?

              It’s definitely better to have the existing mods onboard than to try to compete with the existing community, which is why I asked you.

              Not sure if you ping went through, so I’ll ping @Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world too.

              Still a bit surprised you guys don’t have discussions regarding the community, that’s usually how we do it in the ones I mod, but you do you.
