Following the other thread (550 upvotes and 366 comments at the moment: https://lemmy.world/post/16211417), one of the complaints that people had what that some communities only exist on lemmy.ml and don't have alternatives on other instances.

Let's discuss this and see if we can organize together.

I suggest to have one topic per comment so that is is easier to discuss.

Can we make some root cause analysis? Why is it a problem that certain communities are only on one instance?

Or better, why do communities need some relationship to an instance?

Copy all the local only communities from each instance .world and .ml separately put in a excel spreadsheet control F search each community

Feel like that would be easier.....

EDIT: I counted 50 pages of communities just for .world before I stopped counting. So that's like a lot of fucking work....

The only way this makes sense to do, is for an admin who has access to the lemmy database. .World database, to do this themselves. I'm assuming with their admin server privileges it would be the fastest most accurate way.

But then they'd have to manually do .ml bc I doubt ml will do that to help them lol

!freecad@lemmy.ml, currently moderated by @zksmk@lemmy.ml @zksmk@slrpnk.net @zksmk@sopuli.xyz.

Could not find any current alternatives.

Any instance recommendations? Maybe programming.dev? Or a maker/craft-oriented instance?

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

!selfdrivingcars@lemmy.ml and !selfdrivingvehicles@lemmy.ml

The respective moderators (@amalshaji@lemmy.ml, @element@lemmy.ml) have been AWOL for 4 years.

Possible alternative:

!SelfDrivingCars@kbin.social (kbin development is fragile?)

Any instance recommendations?

@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al, were you able to find any RSS news sources?

I've figured it out @threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works . The thing that was bugging me was where we should host the autonomous and self driving technology community and the whole time it was bloody obvious. @lugh@futurology.today can we host it on your instance?

I found a couple. I'm saddened that https://selfdrivenews.com doesn't have an RSS feed though
