I would like the community to move to https://lemmy.zip/
I like SJW, but I know some people don’t want to browse [email protected] on their work network due to the name.
Piefed.social is the flagship instance. There is https://feddit.online/. Over time other Piefed instances will probably appear, but we have to make a decision and migrate before the end of the month.
Thanks for that. Can understand the URL at work thing.
As for the second part, I think my preference would be to find an instance to which the existing content can be migrated. If that’s the main piefed or others, or another Lemmy server, I don’t particularly have a preference, but let’s not lose the community that’s been built to this point.
The content is not leaving a anywhere it’s already been federated.
But it won’t show up on new instances, which means instance churn will erode it away from the broader fediverse. It could become a centralizing force if new instances can never access historical posts.
