Bringing over folks from r/Solarpunk (self.meta)

Hi! I'm a mod at r/solarpunk on reddit, and we're looking for a better platform on which to host the community. I've been browsing slrpnk.net and I really like it.

I'd like to start encouraging early adopters to register an account here. Any migration would certainly be gradual, but before I do anything I wanted to check and see how the current admin and other users feel about this plan.

How's the instance running? What rate do you think this instance could take on new users? How is your moderation capacity at the moment?

The federation issues between Lemmy instances are a known issue and largely boil down to Lemmy tripping over itself at a certain size. Since ActivityPub is mostly push based, these too large instance then fail to send federation updates to smaller instances like ours and are also sometimes too busy to accept our pushes (but the latter is AFAIK a smaller problem).

There are some improvements for that in the upcoming 0.18.1 version, but since other admins are reporting some issues with the -rc test versions of it, I have been reluctant to upgrade until the official release it out.
