You have to remember that until recently, there was sub 100 daily users, this wasn’t a big platform, and it wasn’t just lemmy.ml, but a bunch of <10 user instances.

It wasn’t worth paying for a small side project until it wasn’t and at that point it was too late, plus who would have predicted that the gov of Mali would forcefully take back all of their domains?

Yeah they’re saying they just gave it up. The thing is, I get wanting to be different from reddit, but over half of our users came from reddit, I miss using it at times, and many moved over solely to stick it to spez but don’t have any fundamental problems with how reddit is setup. Obviously Lemmy improves on it in ways, but Lemmy can 100% use reddit as influence to grow.

If r/android is trying to move to Lemmy, most of this didn’t really exist until people moved from reddit, yeah they should have moved eariler, but to me, c/android should be the spiritual successor to r/android, and while I’m ok with different mods, if the original subreddit just up and moved 1 to 1 to Lemmy, I wouldn’t be upset, I probably would have done the exact same thing and gave the community to them, because they helped grow that community on Reddit and seemingly are willing to do it here too.

Basically ideas and pepper from reddit aren’t bad solely because they came from reddit, not ALL outsiders are our enemies.

The thing is, each instance isn’t supposed to have their own of each community, like the goal is to have communities spread all over the fediverse. Lemmy.world not having a c/android isn’t a bad thing, because you can always connect to any other one.

The parking community name is a good point if it is against the rules but I feel like that rule is just designed to do exactly what you’re looking for, having a version of each community on lemmy.world, defeating the whole point of the fediverse.

Lemmy really needs to figure out a way to group many smaller instances of the same topic into one, like a multi-reddit feature. That way people can subscribe to a topic and it will combine all posts from the smaller android communities without having to create more and continue fragmenting it

You can still access the other community on a different instance from world, you don’t need a different login or anything

Isn’t the whole point of Lemmy and the way communities work is if you want to moderate and don’t like the way the existing one does it, then create your own? Like I get your point here but basically it sounds like the ones in charge of it said “oh we don’t want to do this anymore”. If they opened it and started it off, it sucks it’s closed but a new one can always be reopened.

Unless you’re looking to NOT do it that way, and have the admins help find new mods for any large community that decides to do something similar

I forgot this game was a thing, a shame they spent all that time on the game, just to need to rewrite it in another language

They all look great, I personally like the brown one, something different than gray, but they’re all very cute and look very nice
