Lemmings.world - general purpose instance for anyone
(lemmings.world)
Pros:
- Lemmy is my replacement for Reddit, so I'm definitely not abandoning it any time soon
- Regularly updated
- I manage servers for a living, I generally know how to handle stuff like this
- Rules are lax, basically don't do anything illegal, don't spam and you won't be banned from the instance (mods can still ban you on their own discretion from specific communities)
- Hosted in EU
- I don't care about, nor do I collect, your personal data
- There's a bot that travels across the Fediverse and subscribes to popular communities, meaning your "All" feed won't be half-empty and is comparable in content to the largest instances
- The instance has "lemmings" in the name. Yes, that's a pro.
- If you ask, I might make you a lemming-related, ai-generated profile picture
Cons:
- It has a bus factor of one - if I get hit by a bus, the instance goes down within a month of not paying for hosting
- As an upside, I try my best to not get hit by a bus (so far with 100% success rate)
What is your stance on defederation?
Will you deferate any of the following?
Btw, I am simply looking for an honnest answer, I am not trying to imply that you should (or shouldn't) defederate at all.
edit: added some scenarios
Yes, immediate defederate.
Unless they start harming the instance or my users, then no defederation needed.
Some of them are illegal in Germany (where the server is hosted), so immediate defederate for those. The others would probably be considered on case-by-case basis. Also depends on what users of my instance want.
If it's only me, personally, then no defederation.
Depends on the instance, really. I don't like the weird situation where you get stuck in half-defederated status, on the other hand if it meant losing access to a lot of content, it would harm users of my instance. I'd probably reach the other instance admins and try to solve the issue.
Alright, you won me over. Thank you for your hard work!
