I’m experiencing similar things:
I’ve checked with alt accounts created on lemm.ee and sh.itjust.works which are subscribed to the same communities.
@ruud@lemmy.world Is there a federation issue?
Edit: I think this is a problem with all communities on lemmy.ml. I’m new to the fediverse concept, but the issue seems to specifically be with them.
Lemmy.world has been acting strangely since yesterday’s upgrade, and has also been getting hugged by Reddit refugees.
I think it’s having issues right now seeing posts elsewhere in the fediverse, and sharing posts made on lemmy.world with other servers.
Using an alternate account on lemm.ee I can see a lot of lemmy.ml posts in here that aren’t visible on lemmy.world, and none of those instances seem to be defederated from each other.
I expect it’s just growing pains and will be resolved soon.
tl;dr You might want to make an alt.
If “master” unintentionally made some people uncomfortable then there’s no harm in changing the default, since you can modify it if you choose.
No plans to go back :)
I notice you’re really putting in the work getting this community started. Thanks for that!
This is fantastic news!
spin up your own private Lemmy instance
This is something I’m investigating, but the need to do so is a massive barrier to my adoption of Lemmy.
I can obviously only speak for myself
…and that’s totally fair. The majority of us are here because Reddit leadership made decisions without consulting the community. I’m only asking that we expect more from instance admins. Let’s talk about it.
I’d no more want
This is the part I don’t understand. How is this content impacting you by being present? Am I wrong about folks using “Subscribed” and I’m the only one who doesn’t use “All” frequently? Is it so inconvenient for an individual to block a noisy Lemmit.Online community they don’t want to hear from, or even for the admins to block those specific communities? Or is the objection “the principle of the thing” despite it being useful to a segment of the community?
reconsider your stance on making the communities here
What stance do you mean? I linked to discussions both here and on Reddit where I am trying to foster use of equivalent communities on Lemmy. I want to have the conversations here.
Let’s just do some quick math, though. (I pulled some of these stats off of Google and am willing to concede in advance that they may not be entirely accurate.)
Reddit has 861 million monthly active users.
The Boise subreddit has fewer than 50 thousand subscribers.
So less than 0.006% of Redditors subscribe to r/Boise. Remember that’s subscribers, including lurkers, and not active posters.
Lemmy has 21-thousand monthly active users.
So it’s fair to say that about 1.26 total Lemmy users would have an interest in subscribing to c/Boise right now, if I make it. That’s me and a quarter of a likely lurker.
This is not an exaggeration. The Idaho Lemmy community I linked (the only one I could find) has 15 subscribers, 1 post, and 1 reply (mine.)
The content will come when users do, but until it does it’s not really fair to suggest that individuals with niche interests create communities in which they talk exclusively to themselves or one other person if they’re lucky.
This is directionally useful, thanks.
In most cases I’m happy with the links being shared, and don’t need to click through to Reddit for the discussions.
Not commenting, no. (Although occasionally I am at the meta level to help grow the equivalent Lemmy communities.)
I mostly use them as newsfeeds and not discussion boards. They limit my return to Reddit to only those cases where I really, really feel like there’s a conversation worth returning for.
Make the communities you want to see
This isn’t really feasible. It took years for Reddit to grow a userbase sufficient to have active niche subreddits like those.
Even widening the interests to state instead of city and hobby instead of specific trail there is almost no content here. That’s not going to change overnight.
The subreddits being copied by Lemmit.Online fill a gap for these niche communities which will only come with greater adoption of Lemmy. Blocking them only serves to drive traffic back to Reddit, in conflict with that objective.
I think that’s why admin posts to lemmyworld would make sense.
“This week we blocked these 5 instances for these reasons and these 2 external communities for these other reasons. Discussions are open here until we lock the thread.”
This is being discussed in https://lemmy.world/c/jerboa@lemmy.ml too. You might want to check out that Community.
There’s a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.
My personal recommendation is https://wefwef.app.
Thanks. My job’s gotten busier since I bought my DS412+ and it’s been sitting virtually unused for awhile. I’m hoping someone can provide directions that are just a step above “click to install” because I’m (too busy/too lazy/too clueless <-- pick one) to DIY it.

My understanding is that a Lemmy Instance Admin has control over Users and Communities originating on their Instance, and can (in extreme circumstances) defederate from another Instance, so that Users and Communities from that Instance are not visible to their Instance’s Users.
An individual Lemmy User can block a specific User or Community, but not yet an Instance (though that feature appears to be planned.)
Therefore you might want to simply block the offensive User or Community.
If you feel strongly about reporting, then you should contact the Admin of the Instance hosting the Community.
If your report isn’t resolved to your satisfaction then you may want to escalate to the Admin of your Instance to inquire about blocking the Community for all Users on your Instance, or even defederating from the offending Instance (though this is the “nuclear option” as it would affect ALL Communities and Users from that Instance.)
tl;dr You have the power to block Communities you don’t like. That option is found in the Sidebar.
Edited to include @Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world’s option.
The post he responded to listed a number of alternate scenes. All minor.
I think we’ll probably end up with Gen 1 of Google’s Samsung Dex competitor, but “ChromeOS-mode” would be a welcome surprise.
Alive and well as @Gamera8ID@kaijus.us!
