Dude it was set up less than three weeks ago by volunteers and is funded by donations. It is what it is. Even commercial websites can feel slow under load, that’s just how the Internet works.

I mean… this sort of attitude you have is kind of self-defeating, no? Like let the /r/Android mods have their own community. These public spats make it confusing for end users. The fediverse doesn’t have to be one big happy family - people have freedom to associate with some communities and not others. Duplication is bound to happen in the early days of this fediverse thing.
Eh, I can see that, but the whole point of the fediverse is to get away from centralization, right? I think it’s a good thing they are promoting their own instance on Lemmy. Only issue is that for right now at least - all of the instances look the same…
They still get to moderate /r/android. In the old times of discrete message board communities, there were various Android message board communities before everything started coalescing around Reddit. It’s impossible to have an opportunity to moderate every single community. If they want to create their own duplicate community, they are free to do so.
Can you explain what the controversy is about? So the /r/Android mods tried to start an Android community on the fediverse but other people got to them first? How are they astroturfing?
They have every right to protect themselves against spam. But that said, ever since they defederated, their activity and user numbers are down.
Wow so much misinformed hostility against Beehaw here. The mod tools for Lemmy are currently limited and they just want to protect their community from trolls and spam. There’s no conspiracy here to break federation.
Musk never wanted to buy Twitter. So he’s going to run it into the ground but never say it was his fault, Twitter just had an unsustainable business model.
BlueSky and Meta’s Twitter clone will likely be what most people will migrate to. Haven’t seen or heard as much about people going to Mastodon though.
Come on, the Reddit drama is juicy AF to talk about. It’s why I’m here. Don’t gatekeep bro.
Most people default to the main server. It’s easier that way. A major weakness of Lemmy is how if I use the main URL of another instance, it will say I’m not logged in, and I have to cut and paste a parameter and paste it onto the end of Lemmy.world to gain access. It’s kind of annoying so since most of the main action is on Lemmy.world, I prefer to make an account here and stay within this instance as much as I can.
