[Meta] It seems that feddit.de communities are moving to feddit.org, is it going to be the plan for this one too? (dormi.zone)

Basically, title.

I randomly stumbled upon !ich_iel@feddit.org, which seems to be the new home of the former !ich_iel@feddit.de (they even added a last meme on the latter: https://feddit.org/post/22759)

I also had a look at https://feddit.org/c/main but my German is very basic, the most interesting topic seems to be a tutorial on how to migrate accounts from feddit.de to feddit.org

Are we planning to do the same?

If someone wants to create an English speaking Europe community on feddit.org I would certainly not be against it. Ultimatly it is up to the subscribers to decide where to go.

I pinned this thread in the community, so people can promote their proposed alternatives here.

[โ€“] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

So from that I gather that you personally do not have an interest in moving the community over to it.

[โ€“] poVoq@slrpnk.net 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I would much rather someone else takes over moderation, yes. Both because of various federated moderation bugs in Lemmy making it hard to moderate a community that isn't on your home instance and because I have way to many communities that I moderate already.

If needed, I would be willing to help with moderation, but not be the main moderator of such a new community.

[โ€“] Servais@dormi.zone 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

To be honest, I didn't volunteer because it's a news community with a large audience. Debates can get nasty, and that's something I try to avoid.

I guess a lot of other people are in the same case, and why you were the only mod here

[โ€“] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

/r/europe became pretty much a Nazi cesspool and I feel on the fediverse it could quickly become a Tankie cesspool. I personally would not have nerves for that either. Would be sad to see this community die if the instance inevitably vanishes though.

[โ€“] Servais@dormi.zone 1 points 4 months ago

The tankie cesspool is probably !europe@lemmy.ml

Hopefully there will be some people willing to moderate !europe@feddit.org, or !europe@lemm.ee, it doesn't matter that much in the end

[โ€“] Servais@dormi.zone 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

To be fair, the whole sidebar of feddit.org is in German, and specifically mentions being German speaking

[โ€“] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

It's presumably mostly taken from the original feddit.de instance. Maybe something to talk to the admins about. Personally I think a European instance makes more sense than a purely German one.

[โ€“] Servais@dormi.zone 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

@admin@feddit.org, @BurningTurtle@feddit.org @Ranslite@feddit.org @surprised_pikachu@feddit.org, what do you think?

Is feddit.org a good place for an English speaking !Europe community, or do you prefer to keep the instance German speaking?

[โ€“] BurningTurtle@feddit.org 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm an admin. You're welcome to migrate over to us.

[โ€“] Servais@dormi.zone 4 points 4 months ago

Thank you for your feedback! @poVoq@slrpnk.net FYI

[โ€“] surprised_pikachu@feddit.org 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

thanks for bringing this up, we'll discuss this in the team and provide an answer soon

[โ€“] Servais@dormi.zone 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Wir sind eine deutschsprachige Lemmy Community und entwickelten uns aus feddit.de heraus.

I doubt they took that from the feddit.de sidebar

[โ€“] Ranslite@feddit.org 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hi, i am the one who wrote the sidebar. Yes i took the text from feddit.de as a template.

[โ€“] Servais@dormi.zone 4 points 4 months ago

Thanks for the explanation

[โ€“] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I clearly meant the standard issue text below that... But since you're apparently here to look for pedantic arguments I'm gonna end it here anyway now.

[โ€“] Servais@dormi.zone 2 points 4 months ago

Sorry if I came up as pedantic, I thought you hadn't seen that sentence
