One small step for Lemmy, one big step for us :) While I don’t aim to be a big instance, it’s exciting that people are using it 🙂 Thanks everyone for this!
On this occasion, I would like to ask a little question. What do you think, if we make the instance humor/meme focused instead of general-purpose? I think the hostname is very appropriate. I’ve also read that Lemmy developers prefer more focused instances over general-purpose. So IDK what do you think??
Personally I like having a general purpose instance, but I think a mix of general purpose and some other things might work?
Yea. A little general interest that’s mostly local to your instance can always be good. And then a specific focus on top.
Should newer features like multi communities and sorts that surface smaller communities come out, smaller general purpose communities might quite cool.
Interesting 🤔 Maybe lemmy.zip’s behaviour is suitable for us too. Their description is “A Lemmy community for everyone, with a focus towards tech, PCs, and gaming”.
I think most tech people would block everything with .zip. it is blocked on my network at least. Sounds weird to have a tech instance with that TLD.
IDK I find it funny 🙂
Here is some more info on why its a bad TLD:

Sorry for it being a medium article.
I’m a web dev for almost 6 years, didn’t know we can authenticate through URL 🤦 It really looks scary.
Its whats also referred to as basic auth. These days its mostly in a header, but it used to be in the url like the example.
Yeah just tried that and worked! I like it thanks
