Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Hello! Ito po ba official community ng r/Philippines? Ang dami kasing lumalabas sa Lemmy Community-Browser, nakakalito haha.

Nalilito rin ako. Tatlo yung nakita kong community dito:

  • !pilipinas@lemmy.ml β€” Oldest post listed is from May 10, 2022.
  • !pilipinas@lemmygrad.ml β€” From their sidebar: β€œβ€¦ an explicitly pro-Joma Sison and pro-CPP-NPA-NDF community. ” Oldest post listed is from January 12, 2023.
  • !philippines@lemmy.world β€” This current community. Oldest post listed is from June 9, 2023.

According to the mod list for /r/Philippines, /u/decadentrebel is one of the mods, and if the mod for this community is the same user behind /u/decadentrebel in Reddit, then this one might be it. But even so, I can't say for certain if they're acting on their own personal initiative, or otherwise.

EDIT: Si /u/sarcasticookie din pala, mod sa /r/Philippines. So dalawa na sila sa modteam ng /r/Philippines na andito.

EDIT 2: Just took a peek at this thread from the reddit site, and yeah, this is the community for lemmy. There are others linked in the thread for other reddit alternatives.

There's been discussions for a week now where to set up shop as the site blacks out, kaso medyo busy karamihan sa mods so there's no back and forth where to exactly. So I took it upon myself to just figure out how Lemmy works, especially with "indefinite" talks percolating.

Ah, I've had an inkling that it's that kind of a scenario. Thanks for the clarification.

In my opinion, creating communities (or forums, or whatever they're called) in the different alternatives is a good short-term moveβ€”either until the mod team decides, or the people decide (by preferentially going to one alternative over the others).

Wherever it might be, I hope for the best for the /r/Philippines community.

Yup, ito official r/PH for Lemmy.

Madaming sumusulpot sa browser kasi may mga nauna na before for Philippines, some are even a few years old. However, all of them are under lemmy.ml which doesn't accept new registrations anymore kaya dito na lang ako sa lemmy.world nagtayo. And hindi kasing blatant mga "red" stuff sa instance na to, haha.
