It seems that feddit.de communities are moving to feddit.org, is it going to be the plan for this one too?

Basically, title.

I randomly stumbled upon !ich_iel@feddit.org, which seems to be the new home of the former !ich_iel@feddit.de (they even added a last meme on the latter: https://feddit.org/post/22759)

I also had a look at https://feddit.org/c/main but my German is very basic, the most interesting topic seems to be a tutorial on how to migrate accounts from feddit.de to feddit.org

Are we planning to do the same?

This English speaking “europe@feddit.de” was always a bit out of place on a primarily German speaking instance. The same would be true for feddit.org, I guess. Maybe we should just depreciate this community and see if another English speaking Europe community takes over? As long as it isn’t the one on lemmy.ml (which has major moderation issues), I think I would be fine with that. I only stepped up moderating it on feddit.de because it was very active at the time and the previous mod stepped down.
- I specifically voted for feddit.org with this community in mind during the name poll, because it was more international sounding than the other options.
  
  If someone wants to create an English speaking Europe community on feddit.org I would certainly not be against it. Ultimatly it is up to the subscribers to decide where to go.
  I pinned this thread in the community, so people can promote their proposed alternatives here.
- This community is the biggest one by far. Shutting this would be bad IMHO. Is there a way to move it to another instance?
  
  I agree. This one is definitely the most active one.
  @poVoq@slrpnk.net, maybe lemm.ee can be an option? The .ee domain name suggests its' European, and all of the communities are English-speaking.
  
  Is there a way to move it to another instance?
  Hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so.
- Is this intentionally english speaking, or does this just reflect the population of lemmy ?
  I'd prefer a multilingual europe instance, ou chacun parle sa langue, para aumentar la diversidad.
  
  I didn't create this community, but there is another German speaking "europa" community on feddit.de and this one was as far as I know always near 100% English.

The size of this community alone shows the need for it. That said, feddit.org seems like a good new home for it since .org is a language neutral tld and the server is german AND English speaking after all.

What's the matter with this instance? I see that the main page doesn't load.
- Afaik the (sole) admin is inactive so the website wasn't fixed when it went down.
  
  There's two actually. The second one hopped on board shortly before the first one went to Asia on some work (IIRC).
  And the second one has trouble with the SSH-key and a case of RL-stuff going on.
- Web access doesn’t work for months now and the admin has disappeared.
- Feddit.de? The admin has been having issues, which is why they started https://feddit.org/.
  You can see that in their sidebar
  Wir sind eine deutschsprachige Lemmy Community und entwickelten uns aus feddit.de heraus.
  Feddit.org dient als Reddit-Alternative im Fediverse.

It would actually be kinda cool to have something like a feddit.eu server where communities from all across Europe/the EU can reside. But I am not against a move to .org either, except for the fact that they label themselves an English-German speaking community. I am not German. 😁
- feddit.eu seems to be a one-person abandoned instance. To me, feddit.org seems like a fine place.
  There's also !europe@jlai.lu - but it seems to be exclusively francophone.

  It is, the same way !europa@feddit.de was German speaking
  
  @EvilCartyen wow, does this thing actually exist? Lol

....so.... feddit.org? What's the alternative?
- Lemm.ee

Even though feddit.org is largely a German instance, content in English is also welcome. I believe that this has already been included in the sidebar.
I would also like to mention that feddit.org was founded in conjunction with the Fediverse Foundation. This is a non-profit organization from Austria that runs various Mastodon instances. There is active and passive association work and also a larger team that takes care of hosting.
The current problems of feddit.de in particular are due to the fact that the load is spread over very few shoulders and some of these are currently unavailable.
