Hey all! Mod team of r/unixporn here. After a couple weeks of work on our end, we finally have a Lemmy community at LemmyWorld that we’re committing to moderating in the long run. Additionally, due to Lemmy’s federation, you should be able to crosspost between here and there even if you don’t have an account on LemmyWorld. Hope to see you there!
But we already had a unixporn community
Please just use this already-present community unless you have a good reason to fragment the group
There’s no good reason. There never is, other than the reddit mods wanting control and not wanting to share with those who already built community on Lemmy.
I think you are misunderstanding; we already moderate this community (check the sidebar).
We decided to move instances, as we don’t fully agree with the administration here, and the instance often seems to be down.
We are currently re-evaluating this decision, although the general public seems to be fine with it.
general public seems to be fine with it
Are you serious? Man are you reading the comments?
Acting like there’s only one true community and anyone else would have malicious intent. Jesus Christ man.
What’s gonna happend with this one?
What is the point to swap instances? We already have solid community in this instance. Why not just move your moderators in this instance?
Considering this user made an account on lemmy.ml to post this, and the community in world was made by the same user with a world account, maybe they don’t understand the federation aspect correctly. It seems to happen a lot, and it’s frustrating because it leads to one huge instance in lemmy.world.

We have observed this instance over the last weeks, and came to the conclusion that it’s not a good fit for our community, as it’s often down and we don’t always agree with the administration on this instance.
