Mastodon Migration

So, this is great news!

Jerry Bell @jerry who runs the large Mastodon instance infosec.exchange, has posted that they are running both #Lemmy and #kbin instances:

"I have good news!
https://infosec.pub is running lemmy, and https://fedia.io is running kbin and we control them both"
https://infosec.exchange/@jerry/110527602646036871

This should give people confidence that these instances can handle the coming surge in new users:
Lemmy: https://infosec.pub/signup
kbin: https://fedia.io/register

@jerry @mastodonmigration These two need About pages describing what they are/used for. I only know they're somehow aiming to be Reddit alternatives? I know I can dig up the projects' homepages and read up directly, but having descriptions directly on the instances might help generate some confidence/inspiration to learn more πŸ˜…

Friendly reminder to switch to [kbin](https://fedia.io) rather than using reddit, kbin is similar to lemmy, but it's more polished, and ran by a...

@mastodonmigration @iamkale I’ll work on adding some additional info. Things have been rather busy here.

@jerry @mastodonmigration Sorry about that, I should have waited a bit in light of all the work you've been talking about tackling right now. Thank you for your continued efforts hosting all these federated services πŸ™

IMPORTANT

@feditips and I strongly discourage using #Lemmy. Here is why:

#Kbin can be used instead.

@jerry Is there one place that lists all the servers you have set up? I was thinking maybe the About page for infosec.exchange. Thanks

@mastodonmigration @jerry I signed up but didn’t reply to confirmation email within an hour and now I can’t use the same email address and username to try to sign up again. No big deal, just something to be aware of.

@sandhu @jerry @mastodonmigration got the same issue on fedia.io, seems like there is no 'resend activation email' . tried reset password, it does reset the password but doesn't activate the account.

@mastodonmigration @jerry I should note that the actual long-term threat to stability, especially since the November 2022 migration, has not been infrastructure, but admins ending up hosting a community far too large for them to effectively moderate, burning out, and flouncing / going AWOL / being widely blocked.

@nev @jerry Sort of feels like you are overstating that issue, but it is certainly a frustration when it happens. Good reminder to do some research into an instance before you sign up.
