Hello everyone,

The most current active community is !dataisbeautiful@lemmy.ml.

Due to all the discussions that are now happening on !fediverse@lemmy.world about moving away from lemmy.ml due to their abuse moderation practices (https://feddit.nl/post/16246531), should we consider creating an alternative.

!dataisbeautiful@lemmy.world exists but seems unmanaged and I would rather avoid another LW community.

Maybe we could contact mander.xyz at !mander@mander.xyz to see what they think?

    +1 for mander.xyz. I’d also like to take this opportunity to see if @sal@mander.xyz would be interesting in joining me on https://fediverser.network, as it is one of the most interesting topic-based instances. It would be a great home to all the science-related subreddits and moderators that would be interested in migrating.

      Yes, sorry, I remember looking at it in the past but got distracted. Is there somewhere where I can find information about what to do to join you and contribute? Should I create a reddit account?

        The GitHub page would be the initial place to get started. It works as a separate service that needs to run alongside your Lemmy docker stack. You will need a reddit API key to allow users to login/register via Reddit.

        I just advise to wait a bit because the current release is still working based on Lemmy 0.18.3 database schema. I will update it later this week.
