I am Rooki Cookie. I am a programmer and i try to help everyone :)
Thanks for your interest in moderation. If you want you can always ask either a popular community if you can help out or request a unmoderated community takeover and if anything isnt working for you, you can always create a new community!
“You dont have to care about infrastructure…” is the bigest lie of those microservice hosting providers.
Everything will be migrated, WHEN and IF we every swap over.
Some of the world team That is probably me. I am sorry about it.
Sublinks should not replace lemmy but add alternatives to the fediverse. We understand it is difficult to maintain such big software especially if there is always that exceptional “big” instance that has special requests for special / specific features. With it we just want to have less “beef” with the lemmy devs, with “big” instance issues.
Everything will be migrated, you will only see some minir downtime when the migration happens. But it will be announced and it will still take some time

Exactly what our reasoning was with it. We wanted a reliable way to identify if its really you. And a easy dm verification did that.
Ok i will give those alternatives to the sublinks team.
There is always an option where, you can just create your own community ( with hookers and blackjack ) on your current local instance, or just host your instance yourself.
Yes, its their right to do so, you could create a community where you just ban everyone from the community that you dislike. You can do literally anything you want ( except site rule breaking stuff ) with your community. It depends of course on the instances internal policy, if a instance admin wants or should intervene, for personal or just for management reason. )
I am sorry but the FHF / Lemmy instance admins are just humans. And yeah there is a feature now to export your blocks, community subscriptions and we are not blocking you to use it if you are really sick of us.
The .world scrapper discord bot he means the discord verification bot. It simply uses the lemmy api to dm you to verify you are the real AchtungDrempels on discord as on lemmy. To reduce trolls and spammers.
We did our testing, but we didnt scaled it up to be similar size of our main instance. There everything seemed fine, but when we upgraded the real issues have rissen up and were just breaking every setup we had.
We had some trust that other instances and developers had tested it at least by turning their instance on and report it, but didnt seemed so. Some issues isnt even caused the instance size. Some issues were documentation were just wrong and not noted it was experimental.
Of course we should have mirrored our big instance, but that would have increased the costs and would be time heavy.
sry was a typo
Like said its personal opinion. But what do we see with lemmy? Its on rust and still there are many bugs in there and the feature development is relative slow than to other open source projects.
We hoped for the best and we got the worst. Even after we waited like multiple months after release and what got we? We got a headon crash to the wall.
Bad documentation, changed setup, ui issues, sort issues, performance issues, ddosed multiple times by smaller 0.19.3 instances that crashed and restarted, some other issues that could have been seen if blackbox tested just once.
For smaller instances ok they can live with it. But we waited extra long, and then got the worst, untested software.
edit: typo in the version
The person i replied to wasnt constructive too? So what is your point?
If it is a point that “microsoft bad!!!”, then yeah thats a valid point. But WHAT is an alternative to that? That is secure, ddos protected and doesnt cost us more than 0$. Additionally who will set it up for one survey? And again, self hosted != more privacy. We see your ip there and on lemmy, so we could theoretically correlate your ip and boom we have your lemmy account, on microsoft forms we dont that.
If you are really concerned that microsoft is doing shady stuff with your correlated answer, then dont use it as simple as that and dont blame someone that is doing this in their free time and for no money.
I think next year 1.4.2025
Dont tell anyone but there is a possibility that i already did that /s
