Initial thoughts in c/lemmy_mod_tools@discuss.online

Before exploring options, I think we need to define on what we need in our moderation tools.

RE: the options, SaaS'ing this mod tool seems like it goes against the spirit and philosophy of the fediverse. The devs are buried in core work and we need mod tools now.

Great to hear! And welcome! I haven't posted anything in either r/baseball or my home sub, r/NYYankees. I've been testing and trying to get my back-end affairs in order over the past couple days before I started blastin'.

I have however, tried contacting the mods of r/baseball and another individual mod via DM to open a dialogue about a migration but haven't heard back in a few days. I'm not sure if I'm being ignored or if Reddit is blocking me ¯\(ツ)/¯. I also joined r/baseball's discord chat after work today though and was poking around there for the right place to mention it.

I'd welcome any help with spreading the word though! I'd imagine it would be a lot for meaningful coming from a fellow Friar than a dirty Yank :)

Migrating baseball redditors to non-default instances (fanaticus.social)

Hello, this might break the instances rules for self-promotion but I hope they forgive the plug in the name of spreading the load off the default lemmy.ml instance.

I started an instance at fanaticus.social specifically to talk about sports -- no politics allowed! I also created a sister community to this instance's !baseball@fanaticus.social as well as clones of the subreddits for all 30 major league teams.

I know the main default lemmy.ml and beehaw.org have experienced some load issues recently so I think it's prudent to spread the love. Fanaticus is dedicated to all sports-related content, not just baseball, but I'm starting there because that's my passion! See ya there!

When reddit goes dark this month and forever after, I'll be looking for a new home on the internet to discuss my favorite pastime, baseball.

I am not here to convince you that lemmy is the next best thing or that it's going to replace reddit but it's the best we have now. If people of like minds or similar interests band together, we can create our own place and ensure that place doesn't disappear or decay because it's controlled by companies or individuals who don't have the community's best interests in mind.

To that end, I've created this lemmy instance, separate from the main lemmy.ml instance, in order to create a space for sports fans to discuss and share news about their favorite sports, teams, players, etc.

I think it's important for durability's sake that there is no mass migration from reddit to a single lemmy instance. That defeats the most powerful part of lemmy: the federation.

If a community can own and run it's own servers, it can never be beholden to anyone.
