I mean they're the same thing anyways. When Spock and Chewbacca raided those tombs from the Nazis with Han Solo, it really forced Darth Vader to admit to everyone that he was HAL 3000's father. To which HAL 3000 replied "I'm sorry father, I won't let you do that!"
That’s the cool thing about the fediverse. Anyone can set up a new server at any point in time and host their content. No one is being stopped from doing that.
Oh… Don’t want to pay for money to set up and instance? Oh…. Don’t want to spend the time administering an instance? Oh… one may exist, but it’s not that popular so no one uses it?
@Emperor@feddit.uk initiated a discussion about a StarWars instance, but it got removed by the mod for being off-topic.
I did indeed and I have that and two other posts drafted for !fedigrow@lemm.ee (delayed because of work and improving my crafting flow on here). I hope to get one or two off tomorrow.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !fedigrow@lemm.ee
Both this duplication and the Star Wars ones seemed to happen because the original Mods became inactive and there isn't an easy way to add in new Mods and/or a reluctance to meddle with someone else's community (I've added plenty of new Mods on feddit.uk so it is doable where there's enthusiasm).
I suspect some digging would uncover other examples on l.w (as it's the largest instance) especially as you see a lot of communities started during the enthusiasm of Rexit and then the Mods wandered off and have been MIA for 7-10 months.
In the first case, having the community on sopuli.xyz rather than lemmy.world is a step towards decentralization.
There is a certain level of consolidation to be had to that community are active enough to survive. Otherwise you have plenty of inactive communities. Ideal from a decentralization perspective, but lacking as discussion spaces.
