Should I move this community? (lemmy.ml)

I think I’m going to migrate this community to Lemmy.world or Lemmy.zip. I love PieFed, but I’d rather wait until things are a little more stable before I consider PieFed.social.

I think world and zip are both fantastic options. Lemm.ee leaves me a little worried that any instance can shut down at any point. I’d prefer to pick whatever instance is least likely to shut down. I do think Lemmy.ml is pretty safe from shutdown, since it’s run by Lemmy maintainers, but I’m worried I’m reducing my audience since many people block ml.

Any thoughts?

Tbh, I also don’t know, and don’t have data to back up my claim either. I love Lemmy and I love PieFed. I want to build a great app, but I find all the drama exhausting.

I would love to have someone else manage the Lemmy community so I can dedicate more time to working on the app. If anyone reading this has any relevant skills you think you can contribute to Blorp, please don’t be shy.

But also, reading everyone’s comments and feedback means the world to me, so I do enjoy being here too. I just wish there were more hours in the day. There’s so much I want to build.

Idk if you can tell, but I tend to ramble lol. Thanks for using Blorp!

FYI, lemmy.zip is federated with lemmygrad.ml, lemmy.ml and hexbear.net:

Edit: this would allow people from those 3 instances to still access the community

What does this mean in practice? Do people block zip because of this? Idk if I’m ever gonna be able to check every single box, and instances can always change who they federate with.

It means that the person you were replying to above would be able to access the community without issue, like for : https://lemmygrad.ml/c/technology@lemmy.zip

People do not block lemmy.zip

Sorry, rereading my comment now I realize it wasn't that clear: in summary, Lemmy.zip would allow people from lemmygrad, hexbear and lemmy.ml to also see the community
