I would rather implement a way to export/import account data.

This is perfectly reasonable. I think a lot of users will be happy with this. Also, I agree with the view that lemmy isn’t focused on individual users. We have X, Mastodon, etc. for that. Thanks for the response!

First of all, I’d like to say thank you and that I appreciate your work. Lemmy is great and I’ve found a new home (at least for the foreseeable future). I first joined lemmy.ml once I learned about lemmy, and I have to say I had a good experience there. You guys even responded directly to my noob questions, and I honestly felt welcome which helped me decide to stay.

My questions are about account migration. As you may have already seen, I’m not with lemmy.ml anymore. The reason is I saw you guys stickied a post encouraging users to use different instances (since the server was having trouble with the influx of redditors at that time). I figured I’d help by first moving to a smaller instance. I have no regrets, although switching was a bit tricky since I had to start from scratch.

What are your thoughts on account migration? Is it in the works or is it something that’s a little far into the future? No pressure since I know you guys are busy with other stuff.

15:00 CEST. That’s the time they’ll start answering questions, i think. It’s already Monday where I am lol.

Yeah. I don’t understand this. Lemmy is an open source software and there are many instances to use. Hell, lemmy.ml is even pushing people away from their instance - that doesn’t sound like people promoting lemmy to advance their ideology.

Don’t agree with the devs’ POV, use a different instance. I’m not socialist/communist and I’m perfectly fine using lemmy. I’ve talked to the devs and they’ve been nice and polite, and I haven’t really encountered any lemmy.ml content trying to poison my mind. Lol. We even stayed on reddit even after fucking jailbait, the Donald, etc. fiasco.

Used to be a smoke (now I just vape) and holy shit this was annoying. Fine a freaking trash bin or don’t smoke.

Vanilla Arch and Endeavour OS. Also looking at trying out Nix OS since I’m pretty curious.

Retail? JK.

But yeah. A simple compliment about something you worked hard on feels great.

Man, it looks great. I can’t sign in to my instance for some reason, though. :(

Lemmy.ml disabled it recently. You can either join another instance that allows it, or ask a user from another instance to create one for you and make you a mod.

I used Joey and it did have push notifications. I turned off all notifications, though. It got really distracting. I prefer no notifications on lemmy, but I know other people want it and that’s fine.

Completely agree.

I’d rather focus on making the community here fluorish than concentrate on what happens ow will happen to reddit. We’ll be okay. We’ll have a smaller community but less toxic and with more discussions. I’m tired of the karma-centric environment in reddit, anyway.
