Reach out to @LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone for inclusion on the sidebar.
All communities included on the sidebar are to be made in compliance with the instance rules.~~___~~___
Having to look at a sidebar, a pinned comment, or an automated DM, is way better that having a single point of failure for our discussions which can be taken down by defederation, censorship, server data loss, etc; people who don't care (or don't know) about those, can just subscribe to only one of the communities and... just see fewer posts 🤔
If we just host all the communities on one instance, we'll just be making a new Reddit
This is kind of what is happening with Lemmy.world: https://piefed.zip/communities?search=&home_select=any&subscribe_select=any&topic_id=0&feed_id=0&language_id=0&instance=&sort_by=active_weekly+desc
You can see that the vast majority of the communities are hosted on LW.
Moving the active community to another instance (Reddthat) is a way to ensure the platform is more reliant. And should Reddthat go down, we could just reopen this one and discuss here where to go next.
Excellent point Blaze
Thanks for your perspective! I agree we don't want to be reddit. I moderate a few comms and IME pinned comments get totally missed. I've had issues receiving DMs a few times so I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it by DM. The idea of decentralisation is spreading it over the fediverse, not just on one instance. Reddthat isn't the primary instance so I think we'd be ok. I do totally see your concerns about censorship etc.
PieFed has a number of options that support this, including:
The only down-side is that I think atm none of these are supported by its brand-new API, so apps like Voyager cannot take advantage of them yet, and are limited to the same experience that you have with just basic Lemmy, but even that is only a temporary issue as PieFed zooms ahead with adding new features practically weekly.
