The PlayStation 5 community over on lemmy.ml/c/ps5 is moving to lemmy.world/c/ps5

Join us and subscribe: !ps5@lemmy.world


Why is this being posted in Nintendo?

  • For those of you that don’t know, I’m the original creator of the PS5 community that is now migrating. @slimerancher@lemmy.world is your beloved lead mod and creator of the Nintendo Communtiy. Through the joys of the Fediverse, he and I clicked and decided to co-mod both PS5 and Nintendo together. Since I am migrating my community to a new location, I talked this over with @slimerancher@lemmy.world and he has graciously allowed me to pin this post here to help me with the transition.
  • So those of you with a PS5 (in addition to your Nintendo Consoles) can come join us at our new location. Just click new link and subscribe!

Why is lemmy.ml/c/ps5 moving to lemmy.world/c/ps5? And what will become of the old community?


If you have any questions, I am happy to answer them!

    If you’d like a PS5 community on a less popular instance, feel free to create one and advertise it to build a userbase.

    I, personally, believe communities should be hosted in places with staying power so that they never evaporate into thin air. If an instance I’m signed up for disappears, fine, I can make a new account. If an instance a community is on disappears, that’s way more problematic.

      That’s a very interesting point. Recently vlemmy.com shut down, and all the users can create a new account on another instance, but all the communities have just gone.

      (Well, technically they exist on other instances, but since the instance hosting it is gone, anything posted now will not federated with any other instance.)

      There are plenty of instances that have staying power due to how they are run. In fact I would say that lemmy.world had the most stability/technical issues out of all due to it’s size.

      Yeah, it goes against the grain a bit, but I like a bit of centralization. I don’t want the entire site to be centralized, but I like big communities. I’m a big formula 1 fan for example, and it’s just not helpful for me to be in ten different small f1 communities here. I’d much rather there be one big one that even remotely approaches the quality of the f1 subreddit.

      This was a large consideration I made. Lemmy is still very early and total users are still miniscule compared to something like Reddit or even Mastodon. So I believe concerns over centralization or decentralization are a little premature. But I understand and share in the concern.
