The moderation team at MealtimeVideos is quite pleased to announce the decision to migrate the community to a new instance; the small but mighty Lemmy.cafe ☕

We will leave this existing community open to allow posts for one additional month (30 days from this announcement), after which it will be locked, preventing any new posts.

All content previously posted here will still be available for future reference, but any new posts will have to be made at !mealtimevideos@lemmy.cafe after the lock takes effect.

Why are we moving?

The main benefit of the move is to allow the community to reach a wider audience, as some communities are defederated from Lemmy.world and miss out on all of the excellent videos you all post here. In particular, we believe it's been to our extreme detriment that the wonderful Beehaw community has been excluded from participating all this time :(

Additionally, the sheer size of Lemmy.world can bring with it unintended consequences, the chief example of which is the lag time that smaller instances can sometimes experience when trying to interact with .World, with that lag time sometimes stretching into the days, or even weeks when things get really bad.

That's not to say this hasn't been an excellent home for us, and those issues are only an effect of their popularity and success. We are forever grateful to the Lemmy.world admins for hosting our community and allowing it to become what it is today. They are under the heaviest workload out of the entire threadiverse, and their efforts must be commended.

But in keeping with the spirit of decentralization, we felt it time to help spread the load, and to hopefully draw attention to our new smaller, cozy instance, which we hope will become another thriving community in our decentralized web of villages.

We also would like to give a tremendous thanks to @Illecors@lemmy.cafe for graciously allowing us to call his instance our home. Did us a solid, man. :)

Lastly, thank you to everyone that has contributed here. We look forward to seeing you at Lemmy.cafe!

(This announcement was planned and written in collaboration with @OmegaMouse@pawb.social, thank you my friend!)
