Burning my house down will cost me money. Shutting lemmy.world down will save the owner a lot of money. They’re not really comparable.

The reality is that a lot of lemmy hosts will rise and fall over the years, and a lot of communities will disappear with them.

That looks promising, hopefully we’ll have an 0.18.1 release later next week

What do you mean you can’t unsubscribe?

Contributing does little to help the issue at the moment, as the hot and active sort has crashed and stopped updating since a couple of days ago.

Until that’s fixed, most users will be presented with the same posts every time they visit lemmy.world

Yeah, hot (and probably active as well) is completely broken at the moment.

I hope you’re right. I’m just afraid .ml users will see no reason to leave the beehaw communities

Yeah, but at the moment, beehaw, ml, world and shitjustworks are the 4 biggest lemmy servers. Now, beehaw and ml will stay on the beehaw communities, while world and shotjustworks will have to split out into new ones
