An open-ended community for asking and answering various questions! Permissive of asks, AMAs, and OOTLs (out-of-the-loop) alike.

In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

On this awesome list of Lemmy instances it doesn't list Beehaw, does anyone know why? (github.com)

I was under the impression that Beehaw was a fairly established instance of Lemmy.

It is established. The chart seems out of date now that many servers have upgraded to 0.18 from 0.17.4.

It's not the worst thing that Beehaw isn't being advertised. The goal is more to curate a tight sense of community and friendliness, over growth for growth's sake.

I'm pretty sure Beehaw was on this list a few weeks ago, so perhaps they don't like the defederation approach. I can see why they wouldn't want to guide new users to an instance that isn't strictly a reddit clone.

That's a very plausible explanation.

I can appreciate that. I don't like how homogeneous some places seem to become with massively more people.
