[Migration post] Can you please comment here if you see this post? That will allow us to have an idea of instances that are now federated with the community

I subscribed to this community with alts on the most populous instances:

  • lemmy.world
  • sh.itjust.works
  • lemmy.ml
  • beehaw.org
  • discuss.tchncs.de
  • reddthat
  • lemmy.blahaj.zone
  • lemmy.ca

So those at least should be covered, but it's always good to see if people from different instances are correctly federated too

Not sure if you've heard of this, but https://lemmy-federate.com/ is a tool which automatically does the same thing, and has the benefit of letting instance admins disable it as well if they don't want it.

Thanks! I heard about it before, but I wasn't completely sure it was working as most of the communities seemed "in progress"

Also having people commenting is a way to show familiar nicknames :)

Hi, good luck with the migration, we did something similar some time ago, moving ![email protected] to another instance, jlai.lu, which is where I'm posting from currently 🤗

For now I'm only seeing @[email protected]'s reply, and the bot below mine

Seeing yours too (from both feddit.de and lemm.ee).

For me older replies are slowly starting to show up too, so I guess either posting or subscribing to this community started federation and it just takes time to catch up

C'est bon à savoir!

Pour être honnête, j'avais même zappé Jlailu, parce que je pense toujours que les gens vont surtout sur [email protected] pour ce genre de contenu

I would've said "goeiemorgen" if I got here a few hours ago. Now I just entered noon and I missed my chance.

Swapped to my alt account on feddit.de and subscribed to the community.

I can see the post and hopefully you can see this reply.

However as of 30min after this thread was created I can only see the reply from a lemmy.world user, not the others.

Maybe me subscribing to the community will help federation. But feddit.de has occasional issues in general.

Edit: the fanatics.social reply also shows now

Edit2: a few more newer ones starting to show up, so I assume federation is slowly happening?

Edit3: older comments from other instances are also starting to show up.

I don't like that approach. People will discover your community and subscribe on their own. There's places to advertise new communities.

TBF, it's more about migrating the community over and trying to not lose people who didn't see the announcement post.

I don't see how would making a dozen alts and subscribing to it help with that specific purpose. This tactic is only useful for making the community posts visible on the all tab of these communities.

Isn't that the point? If you're one of the many who likely missed the announcement post, you'll still see it in your global feed. The old comm was big enough that it'd have been on the global feeds of all the major instances, so this is just replacing the old comm with the new one in those feeds.

Hello,

First of all, thank you for your work on your instance and all the integrations you did.

Regarding your criticism about this approach, I see where you come from, and I wouldn't want new communities to use it. However, for the context

Community migrations are a sensitive topic, a lot of the mods I talk with don't want to leave Lemmy.world, even if they are now a bottleneck (technical details here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/17963030).

This migration is a test to see if migration of large communities can be done, hence this approach of making sure that the new community would be visible to the most users possible.

I hope this make our approach more reasonable, but let me know what you think.

I can see this, I arrived here by the moderator note in my post about crushing an apple with my hand

Hello! How is your shoulder doing? Do you still swim?

Hi blaze!

Shoulder is fully recovered! Thank you for thinking of me. I still swim, just swam today even. Signed up with a trainer and improved my form and technique so haven't had issues for awhile!

The trainer is great in other dimensions too, we are working on overall resistance training too. Seen some great improvements.

How have you been Blaze?

Sounds great, happy to hear your shoulder is recovered!

On my side, things are good, as always trying to animate "casual" communities on Lemmy such as this one and the ones in the sidebar. Good to see people in this one, it's mostly a chill place
