The other 196 seems to be regarded as the "real" 196, so this community is now 195!

@moss @196 it would be incredibly on brand if the first thing that happened after migrating is a dumb community-wide controversy.

Lmao true. I don't want any sort of controversy, and if things naturally don't shake out in this 196s favour I'm not going to throw some sort of hissy fit. This post is only meant to avoid confusion, not to stur up conflict

@moss i think that whichever one goblinhog decides to join first should be the real one, and we should wait for him like christians wait for the second coming of christ.

[-] moss@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I agree 100%. Goblinhog could say the new r/196 is on Pinterest and I'd follow wholeheartedly

Wait, have I missed something. What's going on? What's the controversy?

Edit: nevermind, I figured it out

[-] faceless@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

What happened?

I am subscribed to both, now I get double the rules! Wait...

It's not official, 196 mods just mentioned blahaj zone in a sticky about Reddit alternatives before going dark. There probably won't be an"official" one coronated I wouldn't think.

They're both the same size (~350 subscribers). If you're viewing an external community on your home instance it always shows less users. (I think it's federated users shared maybe?)

Instance size doesn't really matter. If anything smaller can be better to avoid being on an overloaded instance.

That said I'm not really advocating one over the other. And with how Lemmy is set up it doesn't really matter to have some redundancy imo

Guess I'll just post my memes on both ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] moss@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

That's the spirit!

Instance size doesn’t really matter

Not only that, we had lemmy.blahaj.zone up and running months before lemmy.world was even a sparkle in its admins eye :)

I guess it isn't possible to fuse two channels from different instances.

[-] moss@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Oh! That's good to know. I didn't know that the user reporting could be inconsistent

Critical support for moss on their public condemnation of moss
