Hello everyone,

[email protected], the non-LW alternative to talk about TV shows, is quite successful (2.08K users / month)

It's still mostly me posting the content (by the way, thank you @[email protected], @[email protected] and @[email protected] for posting too), so I'm creating this thread hoping that other people interested in the topic would come to post about their favorite shows there too!

For mods, we are currently two, so if you want to join feel free to comment on the relevant pinned thread. I created it 1 month ago and never had any comment, but who knows

Can I be a mod and get ride of KarmaBot since it seems like I am the only one posting? I also think I am not alone in the endeavor so we can get at the least a couple mods going on and make it more active

Ping @[email protected]

Anyone else interested?

(active = at least one post last week)

Hello everyone,

If you look at https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy?version=0.19.3, you see a few instances that host alternatives to LW communities

• [email protected]

Lemmy 0.19.5, has been released on 19 June, we are now three months later.

I've been reaching out to a few of them

• https://programming.dev/post/17587331, and further on the instance Matrix: no planned schedule for updates
• For Lemdro.id, I reached out to their Matrix a first time in August, then another time this week, they told me they have no real schedule for the update, but that it might be done in November
• for Lemmy.one, there is this thread I posted there in early June (https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/we-re-giving-lemmy-a-try-welcome-to-privacyguides-lemmy-one-x-post/12734/7). I have been since then in contact with one of their mods in June, I offered to have more mods for their community (suggesting @[email protected] as they already mod [email protected] ), but they have never answered.

Now, important disclaimer

I am personally very thankful for those admins to manage those instances. I have been posting to those communities a lot to try to better decentralization,, and it's very generous of them to give their time, energy and infrastructure to run those instances.

On the other hand, having such long times between updates releases and the instance actually updating concerns me a bit, because it seems to show that those instances are relying on one single admin which could disappear overnight, and might also have trouble with reacting in case of incident.

I guess the opposite view is that it doesn't matter so much, they'll update when they update, and they probably don't prioritize those updates as much compared to an actual incident (which we saw back in the days with the federation issues between LW and Australia / New Zealand servers).

For people curious about LW (still running 0.19.3 as well), they told me they wanted to skip 0.19.5 due to this one issue https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2629 which if fixed in 0.19.6. It makes sense due the high number of mods they sometimes have per community).

That's it for me, curious to hear what you all think.
