An index community for Lemmy - Lemmy.World
An attempt to start an index of communities on Lemmy for people to find new topics. [email protected] [/c/[email protected]]
Blaze (he/him)Nice, let’s see how it goes.
As a side note, did it have to be on Lemmy.world? Aussie.zone is still 5 days behind, and with the issues that Lemmy 0.19.7 has with pictures, it does not seem like LW is going to update any time soon
I have a few communities I could post, but I would really prefer to have this community on another instance than LW. Lemm.ee or lemmy.zip as usual would be good candidates.
Is everyone 5 days behind LW? I don’t quite really grasp how exactly there is a 5 day lag, shouldn’t Lemmy be close to real time? I don’t fully understand what’s going on in those charts but it looks like the delay will be gone in a few weeks/months?
As far as hosting it on a different instance, this is just kinda a playful experiment. If it goes well anyone can copy the list and put it a version of it on their server.
I clicked 5 of the links in the lemmydirectory github/wiki list and all of them the last post was 1 year ago. That’s what kinda sucks about all the indexes is that they’re either the extremely popular communities which show up in the communities tab, or extremely dead communities. The goal is to get a list of extremely active smaller communities and without changing Lemmy source code myself, this is the next best thing I could think of to make a list like that.
BlazeAussie.zone is, and a few other instances regularly have issues. The issues have been here for months, are not going to be fixed any time soon as the latest Lemmy version still has issues like the pictures one: github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5196

If we were to open an index community on let’s say lemmy.zip, known for their transparency and reactive management (lemmy.world/post/22643868), would you consider closing [email protected] and redirect to the new lemmy.zip community?
When two similar communities coexist, the LW version always dominates due to LW size, so the non-LW version is always struggling, and people don’t know where to post.
