I was about to create the daily thread using the mod account, but it seems LW is having issues again.

Do you think we should move this space to another instance such as https://discuss.online/?

    The instance I’m on was down for scheduled maintenance earlier today. If you’re on lemmy.world, and that phrase is unfamiliar, ‘scheduled maintenance’ is when your server isn’t available, but you were given plenty of notice beforehand and it comes back better.

    The admin mentioned that he’s moved about 100GB of images over to a new service.

    I thought I understood how images were federated. I thought that it was just text that was shared between instances (including a link to wherever an image was uploaded first), but it seems like many images are copied all over.

    To use one 3.54MB example, uploaded by a sopuli.xyz member for a post to [email protected]:

    lemmy.world
    communick.news


    Anyway, as to the main question, I believe that everything should be moved from lemmy.world in its current state, so ‘yes’.

      Thank you for your support.

      I’m a bit busy right now, but I’ll try to contact the admins of the suggested instance in the coming days.

      If you have any other suggestion for instance, feel free!

        I wish I had some useful advice, but my knowledge of instances is fairly limited. I haven’t experienced any downtime over at lemmy.ca, but I really only use that one when lemmy.world is down, or when I’m trying to test federation issues. I also have an account at fanaticus.social, but that’s mostly for sports-related content. Not sure this community would fit in over there. I do have to say, the niche instances seem to be nice. But spreading the word might be a little tougher.

    I come here from lemmy.today and it looks like I’d have to make another account for the discuss.online instance
