LW is too big

https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active

9 LW communities in the top 10. 5 out of 10 from 11 to 20.

Lol [email protected] is at number 14 and it's only existed less than two and a half days.
- Damn that's impressive. I guess we fedifolk are already practiced at packing up and moving when the local authority turns to shit
- I may say this as a LW user, but LBZ feels like home and the whole community was rightfully pretty hurt about the 196 drama. Glad everyone stood together and made it clear what was up, and that Ada’s work in particular is much appreciated
- Very well done by the community indeed
- They're also anti-luigi
In another month or so when LW updates (the synching issue will actually be delayed even further beyond that they said), will this really be as much of an issue anymore?

If they want to provide hosting services, then let them? We can always move if we don't like them, and let's face it that some of those giant communities are fairly toxic and would remain so wherever they go.

Then again perhaps I am speaking of things that I do not know here: out of the top 10 communities listed there, I am not subscribed to any of them.

LW is trying to be Reddit 2.0 with all the excessive moderation and “real” email address requirements. Hell, it might be even worse.

“real” email address requirements

First time I hear about it. So you can't just register with any email provider?
- They don't allow burner addresses.
- Correct.
- Hm, I registered with my own domain... Worked fine

I’m in lemmy world. Is that bad?

It's okay. It's usually the concentration that communities rather than users that's a bit concerning
if it doesn’t feel bad you’re probably fine
Why world it be?

We need a server that just proxies the main instances but filters out every post containing "Trump" or "Musk".

- yes exactly thank you for this link :)
  
  if you need any help setting up that new instance, let me help you :D i'm located in austria, if that matters.
Nah, we just need native lemmy filters, us non americans wouldn't be missing out on much anyway. (better rules too, we need those)

Most news containing them is just clickbait and always shit like "trump says" "trump slams"
- Also the filters should include images of vote-slogans. Which could be tricky with OCR.
- If you dont want to see those type of posts, then you can follow communities which dont include them. And block any instances/communities you dont like so they disappear from /all. You can also create your own community with your own rules, or your own instance. Neither of these things is difficult, they just need time and determination.

I’d subscribe to that one.

I don't know if LW is too big, but there is such a thing a too big. Ideally no single instance should have to use "federation-style" synchronization within itself. Below that size economies of scale might justify growth, above... not so much.

Wdym too big. It's like a fraction of a fraction of reddit

It's too big regarding the whole platform. https://lemmy.world/comment/14610021

Also https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/ 16k users out of 43k are on LW
