website is up, you can see a handful of posts but you cannot login and mostly just errors out.
Bad like brian over here. Signed up for lemme just to be kicked off the first server. Hopefully it’s an extremely rare event. If world goes down, I’m out.
I hear Digg is close to launching its beta or whatever…
Done did their final
sudo docker compose down… as someone whos considering switching out of world my eyes are open.

What happened? Did the instance maintainer just get sick of running it?
There is going to need to be some centralization of some form for this to work. The fediverse is a mess right now but its such a good idea.
What, centralisation has the opposite effect. It makes things worse. Imagine lemmy.world shutting down (the biggest instance), lemmy would be fucked.
Decentralisation is to be encouraged. So if an instance shuts down, it’s not the end of the world.
Like how basically all lemm.ee communities were migrated.
When I say centralization I don’t mean letting a few control the many. This is what I mean.

Figure out what the alternatives are for these sites we don’t need several Twitter alternatives.
-
Each site needs a front page, Accessible on the Fediverse front page. This allows people to easily make an account.
-
There should be one main site which will be the largest instance, people can edit the UI to feel how they like, but we need to allow communities to grow big.
-
To safe guard against point 3, fund the sites with 100s or thousands of co-equal owners. Say you get 5K people donating $5 a week to each site, they each get 1 stock or piece of the “company” and now it prevents a reddit or twitter situation.
-
The final thing, we need Fediverse user accounts, where once you make an account on 1 site you are automatically signed up to all of them and anyone can follow/subscribe and follow on all platforms, leading to a more cohesive biome
