Thank you so much !

[email protected] seems like a good place to redirect those conversations, maybe you could consider adding it to the sidebar, should the rule become permanent?

Though from Kbin.social, StarTrek.website, Discuss.Online, and now PieFed.social, I have been able to see Beehaw the entire time iirc.:-)

As you know, I’m not the biggest LW fan, but even I wouldn’t use an account defederated from LW, especially with SJW on top. You’re missing probably 80% of the active communities, and 15% of the remaining are on lemmy.ml

Part of the reason might be the ginormous size of just thousands of miles separating coast to coast, and more besides to Alaska or Hawaii etc.

Even with that, why is there no Californian or New York instance? Seems weird to me seen how populous and tech oriented those places are

Interesting, thanks

Indeed, having [email protected] in the sidebar might help

[email protected] has 5 few active threads since yesterday, such as

• https://lemmy.ca/post/32448239
• https://lemmy.ca/post/32449540
• https://lemmy.ca/post/32446060

Feel free to open others if needed

Lemmy.sdf.org had a lot of federation issues until recently. They are also very FOSS oriented rather than generic

I don’t even consider Beehaw a Lemmy instance anymore as they defederate LW and SJW

I should have probably said “generic US instance”, with communities like AskUSA, CasualUS, this kind of things

Indeed

This is going to get removed

You should repost it on [email protected]

Very good point

Seems like a good reason to have this kind of rules

Also I posted in [email protected] a thread for non political communities

They don’t even have to create one, it’s there [email protected]

The one you listed is for essentially for posting articles.

Why the distinction? Movies communities both post about articles about movies and have discussion posts too.

But anyway, I created those 3 posts on [email protected], feel free to create others there too

Feel free to discuss it on [email protected] https://lemmy.world/c/politicaldiscussion

It’s still weird to me that there is no US instance. LW and lemm.ee are hosted in Europe, SJW and lemmy.ca in Canada, lemmy.ml and hexbear use a European datacenter.

I mean there is midwest.social and dubvee, but we could have expected a large US instance to have emerged by now.

The closest is probably https://lemmy.today/, but only has 194 users per month.

How are political communities tiny when they are 2 of the 6 most active communities on Lemmy?

To be honest, the issue is mostly about [email protected] banning self posts (and thus people having to find alternatives such as [email protected] ) rather than the mods of [email protected]

Two posts for you

• https://lemmy.world/post/21703175
• https://lemmy.world/post/21704454

I just created two posts over there, one over the likelihood of project 2025 to happen, and the other one about people actually considering leaving the USA. Feel free to join the discussion

• https://lemmy.today/post/18704589
• https://lemmy.today/post/18704595

This post is likely to get removed due to the pinned post banning self posts.

You can probably repost this on [email protected]

I wouldn’t consider US politics a small topic, especially on Lemmy
