Title says it all. Educate me!
Fmhy. For one thing, most of my reddit usage was related to Linux, datahoarding, self hosting, and torrenting. So coming here is the natural choice. The great thing about us pirates is that we aren’t hated by very many people (and therefore aren’t banned by the big instances), aren’t generally extremists, and yet strongly support free speech. In fact, one of the only major instances to allow nsfw content at all and to not defederate a whole bunch of instances for no apparent reason
Think something is wrong, why do only fmhy users see this and no one else?
fmhy
- blocks lemmygrad
- low ping for west coast
- many admins
How do you do that? Thought that’s something that the instance owner sets up (whether or not our instance can communicate with others)
I think everyone needs to do their own sightseeing to see which instances are around - if there’s a one-size-fits-all solution then that’s actually a bit of a problem for the fediverse. Figure out who’s running it, what their donations/transparency plan is, what their rules are, what their goals are, etc. I’d say at least in these beginning phases, applying a negative bias towards larger servers will benefit the community as well.
Why are all the answers here from FMHY? It was like 20th on the list in terms of popularity when I joined. I chose it because it had fewer restrictions - users can create their own communities and, most importantly, downvote (the chart I looked at said some didn’t have downvotes??). Also I assume pirates know how to run a server.
This is not the first thread where I have only seen the FMHY comments while accessing through FMHY. It seems sometimes a thread doesn’t sync comments from other instances for many hours (or ever? IDK).
Edit: It seems the issue was just fixed, for outbound sync from lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.ml/post/1216911
Yeah same, I’m from FMHY as well and I’m really confused as to why everyone is saying FMHY.
I picked it because I skipped over the first couple large communities looking for smaller ones that allowed everything. Didn’t really care about the piracy aspect at all.
I’m starting to feel we should delete this whole thread and replace it with how much FMHY sucks and is the worst instance ever the admins are literal trash pandas please don’t come here. I like it small.
