I’m personally in favor of !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

  • fits the theme of the instance
  • is not on .ml
  • is not on .world
  • 3 different active mods
  • no power tripping noted so far
  • 2nd most active community after !privacy@lemmy.ml

!privacyguides@lemmy.one admin has been quiet for a while, the instance seems to be running on auto-pilot, https://lemmy.one/c/meta has no communication from the admins since a long time

Programming.dev is still running Lemmy 0.19.5, and they had a quite severe issue of database corruption for 3 months. Thankfully, it’s solved since (https://programming.dev/post/20515601)

    Honestly the duplication and splintering of communities across instances will be a big problem if Lemmy ever gets more mainstream.

    So probably not, but still.

      It’s already an issue now.

      I hope this meme will help at least limit it down to 2 or 3 communities. Having 7 for the same topic is too much. People want to post and comment in a place active enough, not crossposting everything to 7 communities.

        I’ve been thinking that there should be a better shorthand for linking to a community on a specific instances. Something along the lines of giving each instance a shorthand up to 4 characters or something, and then do community links in the format /<shorthand>/<name>. So give sh.itjust.works sjw as a shorthand, and /sjw/privacy becomes the community name. I think that would make it easier to remember the one you mean.
