Ok so TLDR for people who don’t quite know what this means.

Beehaw are going for a walled garden approach and cutting off our access to content from some of the bigger instances. This is fine, it’s their right as instance admins and it creates a safer space for anyone who was only browsing Beehaw local communities anyway. It’s best they’ve done this now before even more people join, but it does suck for those of us who already built a nice feed.

As users we now have a decision to make. If you’re an active member of a community on one of these two instances, you’ll probably need to migrate your account.

If you’re an active member of a community on another instance, bear in mind if that instance grows large you may then be in the same position.

The bad news is there’s no easy way to migrate accounts here like there is on Mastodon, and we’re going to have to resubscribe to everything all over again from whichever instance we move to. Unless anyone knows any handy tool or anything?

(p.s. It seems like I can still click through to my communities on, say, lemmy.world but presumably they’ll no longer update. This is going to really confuse people as there’s no visual indicator that the community is blocked from my pov)

Gotta be between this and top hat lemming. Does Lemmy do polls, yet? 🤔

What a time to be alive 🍿

Yep they’re on fire, husband was on there but has temporarily moved back to Lemmy since Kbin isn’t federating. They’ll sort it aaaaht I’m sure.

Buns forever!

It was right in front of me!

Ok ngl I have tried the biscuit one. It smells amazing, so realistically biscuitty, but the taste is…questionable.

So if you’re more into sniffing your drinks these could actually be a good shout.

Precious, precious alone time. Make the most of it!

I may have accidentally stayed up all night to watch the meltdown and am now dead. Worth it to be there for the moment /r/funny went offline though (at like 5am, omg I am too old for this sort of thing!)

Today is gonna be rough, I have to somehow perk up enough to record a YT video and seem like I’m happy about it.

reaches pathetically for the kettle

I’ve seen people literally signing up here just to make like 50 empty communities and not post or comment on anything at all. Definitely a lot of folks just trying to stake some territory that they think will be valuable in the future.

You’d need to sign up for a totally new account. There is talk of adding a migration feature but obviously that’ll require a bit of patience, they’ve got a long list of feature requests!

This has not been my experience so far.

Smooth plug, respect ;)

I’m hoping for some specific craft communities, but for now it makes sense to huddle together in !creative@beehaw.org. We do love to show off pics of all our projects though so I expect it won’t be too long before it makes sense to start splitting that up.

Along with a terrifying curse to stop them taking the new one. I like it.

Yeah I’m with you there. Can’t even remember the last time I saw a used DW book for sale, and plus my husband refuses to read anything in physical form these days (heathen) so if I’m ever gonna get him into these books it’ll have to be the 99p Kindle versions!

Now this is the kind of hard-hitting info I came here for :D

I’m on Beehaw and managed to join this one ok. I think there’s a delay when the first person tries to search for an instance, before it actually shows up in results. Not ideal but maybe try it again now?
