Basically, title.

I randomly stumbled upon !ich_iel@feddit.org, which seems to be the new home of the former !ich_iel@feddit.de (they even added a last meme on the latter: https://feddit.org/post/22759)

I also had a look at https://feddit.org/c/main but my German is very basic, the most interesting topic seems to be a tutorial on how to migrate accounts from feddit.de to feddit.org

Are we planning to do the same?

This English speaking “europe@feddit.de” was always a bit out of place on a primarily German speaking instance. The same would be true for feddit.org, I guess. Maybe we should just depreciate this community and see if another English speaking Europe community takes over? As long as it isn’t the one on lemmy.ml (which has major moderation issues), I think I would be fine with that. I only stepped up moderating it on feddit.de because it was very active at the time and the previous mod stepped down.

I specifically voted for feddit.org with this community in mind during the name poll, because it was more international sounding than the other options.

If someone wants to create an English speaking Europe community on feddit.org I would certainly not be against it. Ultimatly it is up to the subscribers to decide where to go.

I pinned this thread in the community, so people can promote their proposed alternatives here.

So from that I gather that you personally do not have an interest in moving the community over to it.

I would much rather someone else takes over moderation, yes. Both because of various federated moderation bugs in Lemmy making it hard to moderate a community that isn’t on your home instance and because I have way to many communities that I moderate already.

If needed, I would be willing to help with moderation, but not be the main moderator of such a new community.

To be honest, I didn’t volunteer because it’s a news community with a large audience. Debates can get nasty, and that’s something I try to avoid.

I guess a lot of other people are in the same case, and why you were the only mod here

/r/europe became pretty much a Nazi cesspool and I feel on the fediverse it could quickly become a Tankie cesspool. I personally would not have nerves for that either. Would be sad to see this community die if the instance inevitably vanishes though.

To be fair, the whole sidebar of feddit.org is in German, and specifically mentions being German speaking

It’s presumably mostly taken from the original feddit.de instance. Maybe something to talk to the admins about. Personally I think a European instance makes more sense than a purely German one.

@admin@feddit.org, @BurningTurtle@feddit.org @Ranslite@feddit.org @surprised_pikachu@feddit.org, what do you think?

Is feddit.org a good place for an English speaking !Europe community, or do you prefer to keep the instance German speaking?

Wir sind eine deutschsprachige Lemmy Community und entwickelten uns aus feddit.de heraus.

I doubt they took that from the feddit.de sidebar

This community is the biggest one by far. Shutting this would be bad IMHO. Is there a way to move it to another instance?

I agree. This one is definitely the most active one.

@poVoq@slrpnk.net, maybe lemm.ee can be an option? The .ee domain name suggests its’ European, and all of the communities are English-speaking.

lemm.ee seems to be hosted in the USA. I would very much prefer a european instance. lemmings.world and lemmy.cafe could be an option.

Hey, lemm.ee admin here - it’s actually hosted in Finland!

Oh, okay. iplocation.net reports it being hosted in North America.

Edit: it uses Cloudflare, that’s why.

Lemm.ee is hosted in Europe, that’s why it hosts !yurop@lemm.ee

I also think that choosing another instance as Feddit is a good idea. Also in terms of „supporting the concept of federation“.

So another not to big but also stable, european instance would be the perfect solution in my eyes.

Is there a way to move it to another instance?

Hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think so.

You can pin a message to a new one, and lock the old one down, that works for most of the people

In that case mods should do that ASAP, to give enough time to people to notice it before the server shuts down.

Also should probably create the new community, lemm.ee doesn’t seem to have one already.

Afaik there are no plans to shut the server down

Even if the server keeps running, not being able to access the frontend is a bit worrying

There is /c/yurop@lemm.ee

Edit: the problem with lemm.ee is that their block-list lacks some instances that are likely to be problematic for this community specifically, as seen on the lemmy.ml equivalent.

There is /c/yurop@lemm.ee

Which is a laid back community, so no news, probably not a good replacement for !europe@feddit.de

Which ones? feddit.org has at least hexbear and lemmygrad blocked. lemmy.ml is probably still a bit too big on some communities for many to outright block yet.

Is this intentionally english speaking, or does this just reflect the population of lemmy ?
I’d prefer a multilingual europe instance, ou chacun parle sa langue, para aumentar la diversidad.

I didn’t create this community, but there is another German speaking “europa” community on feddit.de and this one was as far as I know always near 100% English.
