Started out on the fmhy.ml just prior to the .ml debacle. On lemmy.world now, but they have just started banning piracy communities. The new fmhy instance, of course, has already died before I got to try it.
sigh Married pasty male looking for lemmy instance that:
- Has some decent uptime / Reliable / Not on a fly by night top level domain
- Hates Nazi’s and doesn’t hesitate to ban, block and defederate such crap
- Tolerant of piracy communities and federations
- Oh, and will let me see comments in the Technology community. That isn’t working for me here.
Suggestions welcome.
You have an account on your instance, disable account creation (so you don’t have to moderate anyone else), then subscribe to any communities you like.
Downsides are that being being the first person on your instance to subscribe to a community is a bit janky, and if you’re the only user you’re always that person.
Local feed is useless.
In general, finding content is a little harder.
Otherwise, having full control is awesome, instances are unlikely to defederate you as a small fry so you can federate with exactly who you choose, and you get a much snappier experience as you aren’t sharing the server with others.

That’s cool!
I’m responding to your comment in my “Detailed guide for migrating Reddit subs to a forum (Xenforo). Including reddit-like titles, and threaded comment view.” thread.
I added a “see it in action” link https://gist.github.com/MaximilianKohler/3bdedd0185283ac30c1f1422f9626947#customizations-i-used
Also, it seems that my post was deleted without any reason/notification and I don’t see a way to message the mods. They have a modlog that just shows an endless loading icon. There is also no access to your content after it’s deleted, unlike with reddit.
More drawbacks of Lemmy to add to the list. And more confirmation that I made the right choice in going for my own forum over Lemmy.
Perfect, I missed the link. Thanks!

Even finding a community is janky. You search for it and it tells you there’s no community then you refresh and suddenly it’s there then you subscribe and it’s a bit random as to which posts and comments get federated and which never do.

Oh I forgot they fixed that. It used to be you couldn’t access a new remote community any way other than the search. If you tried to access it directly it didn’t work at all. But I remember after one update that started to work.
Also to note in, there are a few ‘subscriber bots’ out there on github to help a new instance get some seed communities out there. It can make the DB and loval storage swell like crazy but is nice when you don’t feel a need to manually sub to everything.
