Hi all,

As you may or may not know, .ml domains may be getting seized by the Mali government. As such, we may need to launch the community on another instance. Here’s a few options I’ve considered:

  • Lemmy.world - The “big” instance besides lemmy.ml. Although the Fediverse is supposed to be distributed.
  • Midwest.social - I don’t think many people would consider Louisville “South” unlike other parts of Kentucky.
  • Launching mylem.alachian.app - I’ll be running a server for another project here soon and I can throw this one up as well. Although, it’ll be a trial by fire
  • Some other instance

What do you all think?

    I’d lean towards the first two personally. Although I can understand that going with a large instance goes against the spirit of federated sites, there’s plenty of work that goes into maintaining an instance, without even getting into the building & moderation of individual communities.

    IMO, I think it’d be more beneficial to focus on problems around building a community, rather than solving the problems of maintaining a new instance on top of the former.
