We moved to !casualconversation@piefed.social please look for https://lemm.ee/post/66060114 in your instance search bar

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Presentation of the feature: https://piefed.social/post/667045

Example of successful migration: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/45876492

Our next step would be to give this feature a try. What would basically happen is that

Should the migration not work, we would still be able to use the current community, and then manually migrate elsewhere.

The objective of this post is to address any questions or issues before we move forward. We are probably going to leave it open for 48 hours, and then reassess based on the community feedback.

Sounds good, but maybe consider moving it to a non-piefed.social piefed instance.

I'm slightly scared of another kbin.social happening.

List of known piefed instances:

https://piefed.fediverse.observer/list

.Social's in 3 digits user numbers

feddit.online and preferred.social are in 2 digits

[–] Blaze@piefed.social 4 points 4 days ago

Preferred social is a test instance for the API, it's not supposed to be publicly used

If more people choose to join the smaller instances they will grow larger.

What happened with kbin?

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

kbin was a lemmy compatible software.
It has all of the lemmy features, with a really nice ui and microblogging (like twitter).
kbin.social was the main instance, it had a lot of users.

The dev eventually abandoned the project, and kbin.social decayed untill it finally stopped working.

It was forked (code copied by a new group, to keep the project alive) by the mbin project.

https://kbin.earth/ is an mbin instance, for example, that's still up.

Ah I see. I guess lemmys kinda like emails some domains just go to shit and shut down.

[–] dumples@midwest.social 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I have nothing to add but to say that I liked kbin.social. I was thinking that everyone was being a doomer when they said it was shutting down when there was a few small problems. But they were right

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

kbin lives on as mbin.

Check kbin.earth, for example.

[–] dumples@midwest.social 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I am debating getting another account in kbin.earth or piedfed.social. Its always good to try out different instances.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

I'd say just try it, it's only a few minutes of your time, and if you don't like it you can delete the accounts.
