Is this being worked on/looked at? I ask since the post mentioned discussion was happening with the .id admins but I haven’t seen any answers about whether that’s a priority (it seems Lemdro.id is the one that needs to federate with k.bin).

Just kinda bummed since I use kbin the vast majority of this time.

Edit: ah cool, quick turnarounds are sexy. Thanks @cole@lemdro.id!

    Man, I’m really not feeling the community merge. Moving the 5th biggest lemmy.world community to one that’s like 12x smaller in subscription size feels like an unnecessary hit to any momentum it had. Especially because asking people who moved places like Reddit to move again does not sound like a good idea (though obviously less effort than moving to another website).

    I do hope I’m completely wrong though and hope this comm gains lots of traction. Moving to an instance dedicated to tech does sounds like a good idea (although I don’t know the benefits yet). Also, if it had to happen, better now than later.

      I agree. I can understand this is a tech-focused instance but that doesn’t means Lemmy World was not right for us. If someone creates an Android-focused instance then we would move again because that would be even more suitable than this one?

      However I expect the community to keep growing and next time it would be nice if mods ask the members before taking decisions that affect the whole community.

        lemdro.id was actually created with the original intent of hosting Android, but has kind of grown a little to more general technical content in the same realm. I definitely hear your point though. Personally, my hope is this helps take load off of lemmy.world. This is my contribution to make the fediverse more viable long-term as it continues to grow

        I agree as well, I think a vote next time with the members of the community would be better before making a change.

        It seemed like the community over on lemmy.world had more posts and subscribers as well. As someone else mentioned, at a time like this when users are moving from Reddit to Lemmy, now users are being asked to move again to another community. I understand its not hard to click subscribe on the new community, but at the same time all of the posts and comments will no longer be displayed here.

      It took me 10 seconds to subscribe to the new one from the links in the announcement post so not particularly impactful to me

      Suspect there will be a lot of this over the next year or so while people figure out how everything works

      To check real community size you need to go to the “community home” instance and check there. When you do it from your instance/app, you see number of subscribers fromy your insnce only.
