The side bar for this community explains that this community is for discussions about the lemmy.world Lemmy instance (server downtime, upgrades, bugs, etc).

As people (including me) surged over in The Great 2023 Migration, it seems a lot of people are still figuring things out and not sure where they’re supposed to post about certain topics (which is completely understandable).

For a few days I’ve seen people from other instances (eg. lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, etc) posting in this community about things that have nothing to do with the lemmy.world instance.

Today, I’m seeing people from kbin talking about boosts (which no Lemmy instance has).

I love reading about some of these things, and learning about what’s going on on other instances and even platforms, but I don’t think this community is the place for that. Your posts are drowning out posts from lemmy.world accounts trying to ask other lemmy.world accounts about things specific to the lemmy.world instance.

If you’re account isn’t on the lemmy.world instance (eg. lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, kbin, etc), please consider unsubscribing from this community and making those posts and comments in a more appropriate community (where I absolutely look forward to reading them).

    They did. Claiming that users with bad intentions to troll/harass their community have been joining here. Which I’m not disputing either way.

    If you throw enough people in a room, there’s bound to be some assholes in the bunch.

    They said they’ll consider refederating once there is more advanced modding tools and they could whitelist, etc.

    I would say this is relevant discussion to this instance since it affects how our users interact. We will still be able to see and comment there, but they will not see our comments. But people from other instances still federated with us would see them.

    That’s at least how I’ve seen it explained. I’m too new here to really know what the hell is going on…
