I started lemdro.id. Pretty cool domain name, right?

You know you can just turn off bots in your profile settings… right? That is an option here.
Although it’s worth clarifying the !android@lemdro.id mods did not have any power in that decision. The original mods of the LW android community made that choice independently
This did indeed happen. The mods of the LW Android community decided to migrate and merge with the !android@lemdro.id community. Most people were fine with it, but several very vocal people were not. There was much vitriol. In the end, the admins re-opened the original LW android community with new mods.
I’m not really sure this is such a bad thing. The two can co-exist. I think most of the anger of the few vocal people came from disliking the Reddit r/Android mods. It does frustratingly split some participation though.
Disclaimer: I am the founding admin of lemdro.id, however I do not mod the android community on it
you know it! That guy is a beast. represent 🤝
lemdro.id is always accepting new users
Spreading the load over many small instances will likely prevent this. It can be quite cheap to host lemmy well, but everything is expensive when you scale up 1000x
love fly.io
fun fact, lemdro.id is hosted entirely on fly.io
