Hey all! Mod team of r/unixporn here. After a couple weeks of work on our end, we finally have a Lemmy community at LemmyWorld that we’re committing to moderating in the long run. Additionally, due to Lemmy’s federation, you should be able to crosspost between here and there even if you don’t have an account on LemmyWorld. Hope to see you there!
Why are you moving instance? And why to an already packed instance?
What is the point to swap instances? We already have solid community in this instance. Why not just move your moderators in this instance?
Considering this user made an account on lemmy.ml to post this, and the community in world was made by the same user with a world account, maybe they don’t understand the federation aspect correctly. It seems to happen a lot, and it’s frustrating because it leads to one huge instance in lemmy.world.
Man and I thought linux users were supposed to be technical smh my head.
We have observed this instance over the last weeks, and came to the conclusion that it’s not a good fit for our community, as it’s often down and we don’t always agree with the administration on this instance.
Removed by mod
how silly lol
But we already had a unixporn community
But why?
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !unixporn@lemmy.world
Thanks bot! :)
On reddit when I reminded to other users that this community existed and they could move here you insisted to clarify that you’re not moving on Lemmy and reminding that the only official communities are on reddit and on discord. Now you change your mind and we should start cross posting, for what? So we can have that mod team who tried to discredit this place, instead of this community which is perfectly fine? Hell no, you made your decision, now you deal with it.
I briefly checked the Reddit thread.
I’m not sure what your username there is, but I think you must be misunderstanding something; throughout all communication we were never opposed to a Lemmy community and kept hinting at “more platforms coming soon”kept hinting at “more platforms coming soon”
The last time I checked, this wasn’t happening at all. Otherwise I wouldn’t have a reason to insist linking this community in the first place. Now I deleted my reddit account (my username was w0yak) so I have not checked and maybe the discussion has gone forward. In this case, I have no idea what has been said. But when I was on reddit and replying to users who were asking for another platform to move on, linking this community, the only hint I read from the mods was that they were aware that this community exists and that they wanted to remind to us that the only official one was that one on reddit and the one on Discord. I have never seen any other mentions of this community by the mods.
That being said, regardless of what happened there, as many users are saying this community already exists and there’s nothing wrong at all with it, so I personally can’t see any reason to duplicate it.
this subreddit and our discord server are our only official channels at the moment. […] More may be coming soon
This (taken from the announcement) or similar phrasings were used everywhere. I apologize for any misunderstandings.
What’s gonna happend with this one?
rice rice rice rice
Correcting the link for non lemmy.world users. !unixporn@lemmy.world
Should we maybe unpin this post? @StardustKyun@lemmy.ml
You might also probably want to add a few moderators as the only other one is Dessalines
@dessalines@lemmy.ml please gimme moderation so I can remove this pinned post.
Currently looking into getting some new mods here, post has been unpinned.
Thanks
Proof?
As a potential subscriber who has submitted several requests to subscribe AND seems not ever ‘receive’ approval… I’d say ‘things’ are not operating smoothly, yet.
Go back to reddit and leave us alone. The community itself has decided that this was the official one (where most users are) so this is it.
They already moderate this one, by the way.
Both can coexist, to be honest. Members will decide which one they prefer
Happy to see it! Have you guys reached out to the mods of this community yet? Some high profile communities that have migrated from reddit have merged with existing communities (See !android@lemdro.id)
StardustKyun is a moderator of this community
