There is an instance like that - lemmit.online. It’s been going for three years and it’s still a ghost town.

You can still choose one that talks to everybody else. In fact, this graphic might be a nice tool for new users who want advice beyond “Just choose any instance, it doesn’t matter” or “Just use lemmy.world”.

This is cool, thanks!

Looks like an old sci-fi book cover.

*yea or nay

To be Fediverse it has to be from the ActivityPub region of France, otherwise it’s just sparkling federated services.

Also - it would probably be a good idea to ditch the Reddit logo in the community header.

FYI if you include a link formatted as !letstalkmusic@lemmy.zip it makes it easier for people to open the community from other instances.

Neat! What do the different colors mean?

It would be tempting to assume there’s nothing much of note happening on Mars

Yes, too many people are lured by the fantasy of Mars being boring and lifeless.

Thanks!

Nice!

It’s unfortunate that there’s no way to see that a community is on a dead instance - lemm.ee communities will still show up in searches, show that they have subscribers, and look exactly like any other community, including letting you create new posts.

“This animal eats ants, so let’s call it an Anteater.”

“What about this other one that also eats ants?”

“Uh, I dunno, Numbat I guess?”

Yeah, I was sad when I learned about this, he’s a funny guy.

FYI if you format the community links like !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world it will link people to the community on their own instance.

Check out !lemmy411@lemmy.ca - you can make a post asking about what kind of content or discussions you’re looking for and people may be able to point you in the right direction.

Some discussion communities I follow that aren’t about a specific topic:

!nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

!asklemmy@lemmy.world

!showerthoughts@lemmy.world

edit: I also know of !casualconversation@piefed.social although I don’t follow it.

Pro tip - if you need to make up a fake SSN for whatever reason, make one of the digit groups all zeroes and it will be invalid. E.g 123-00-4567

Automatic posting from Reddit has been tried before and has been pretty unpopular for the most part. Here’s an old thread with some good discussion about it:
