I subscribed to this community with alts on the most populous instances:

  • lemmy.world
  • sh.itjust.works
  • lemmy.ml
  • beehaw.org
  • discuss.tchncs.de
  • reddthat
  • lemmy.blahaj.zone
  • lemmy.ca

So those at least should be covered, but it's always good to see if people from different instances are correctly federated too

Not sure if you've heard of this, but https://lemmy-federate.com/ is a tool which automatically does the same thing, and has the benefit of letting instance admins disable it as well if they don't want it.

[-] Blaze@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks! I heard about it before, but I wasn't completely sure it was working as most of the communities seemed "in progress"

Also having people commenting is a way to show familiar nicknames :)

I don't like that approach. People will discover your community and subscribe on their own. There's places to advertise new communities.

[-] wahming@monyet.cc 7 points 1 year ago

TBF, it's more about migrating the community over and trying to not lose people who didn't see the announcement post.

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

I don't see how would making a dozen alts and subscribing to it help with that specific purpose. This tactic is only useful for making the community posts visible on the all tab of these communities.

[-] wahming@monyet.cc 6 points 1 year ago

Isn't that the point? If you're one of the many who likely missed the announcement post, you'll still see it in your global feed. The old comm was big enough that it'd have been on the global feeds of all the major instances, so this is just replacing the old comm with the new one in those feeds.

Hello,

First of all, thank you for your work on your instance and all the integrations you did.

Regarding your criticism about this approach, I see where you come from, and I wouldn't want new communities to use it. However, for the context

Community migrations are a sensitive topic, a lot of the mods I talk with don't want to leave Lemmy.world, even if they are now a bottleneck (technical details here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/17963030).

This migration is a test to see if migration of large communities can be done, hence this approach of making sure that the new community would be visible to the most users possible.

I hope this make our approach more reasonable, but let me know what you think.

Hi, good luck with the migration, we did something similar some time ago, moving !France@lemmy.world to another instance, jlai.lu, which is where I'm posting from currently 🤗

For now I'm only seeing @golli@feddit.de's reply, and the bot below mine

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !france@lemmy.world

I would've said "goeiemorgen" if I got here a few hours ago. Now I just entered noon and I missed my chance.

[-] golli@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Swapped to my alt account on feddit.de and subscribed to the community.

I can see the post and hopefully you can see this reply.

However as of 30min after this thread was created I can only see the reply from a lemmy.world user, not the others.

Maybe me subscribing to the community will help federation. But feddit.de has occasional issues in general.

Edit: the fanatics.social reply also shows now

Edit2: a few more newer ones starting to show up, so I assume federation is slowly happening?

Edit3: older comments from other instances are also starting to show up.

[-] Blaze@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Hello,

Thank you for your comments! I wanted to have a look from https://feddit.de/c/casualconversation@lemm.ee but seems like the website is still having issues.

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.
