Hey guys. After discussing with our lovely sysadmin @tedvdb@feddit.nl earlier, I thought it’s time we gathered to discuss our little community here. feddit.nl has been through some tough times, but it’s still up and strong! Let’s look into helping it solidify even more.
How have you been liking Lemmy so far? Would you like it if feddit.nl offered different interfaces like Photon and Voyager? Isn’t the trending communities bot really cool? ;)
Please feel free to let us know what we can do to help this instance thrive, and maybe tell us a little about your day, heh heh heh.
And of course, creating content, as well as sharing with others you know, goes a long way!

First off, thanks admins for dealing with the shitshow that is ‘people on the internet’ so that we can have some fun entertainment and discussions <3
Since we are a small instance that is Dutch-focused I feel we should put our efforts towards making our main community !thenetherlands@feddit.nl more active instead of splitting the content to several communities like !nieuws@feddit.nl Maybe a weekly recurring thread like the maandag klaagdraad they do over on /r/thenetherlands, or something like ‘what have you been up to this week?’ for some more casual chatting.
I also see a lemmy.world admin has been added to the team, welcome @clueless_stoner :) I’m curious about the collaboration between feddit.nl and lemmy.world, are both intended to be ran similarly? The biggest difference I noticed is that we on feddit.nl are federated with hexbear, while lemmy.world isn’t, is that expected to change? How are things like future defederations handled, I can imagine that for some malicious instance you will just have to act quickly to block it, but for other instances where there is less time pressure I would appreciate it if the admins make the users part of the discussion and decision making process.
Feddit.nl will always be run depending on what the userbase wants and needs. While yes, I am also a lemmy.world admin, here i’m only looking to fend off attacks and try to help the feddit.nl community where/if possible. If you would like to discuss policymaking or if you have any concerns regarding how an issue would be handled, then please feel free to join our Matrix space so you can discuss these issues with us. There’s been some amazing participation and suggestions in this thread and I can assure you that everything you say is being heard, and we’ll be more than happy to work with the community to try to address them. I appreciate your kindness, and take care! <3
Ook al hebben admins van verschillende instances andere ideeën over federatie, we hebben een goed contact. En de reden waarom Avaddon hier admin is is om ook wanneer Ted in zijn bedje ligt te kunnen reageren op aanvallen van buitenaf.
Met Lemmy World moeten we het sowieso anders aanpakken dan hier omdat de communities hier op feddit.nl minder een target zijn.
Op Lemmy World zijn we vaker verplicht het voortouw te nemen omdat we de grootste zijn en dus ook de meest interessante om te exploiteren.
Grtz!
Goed om te horen! En fijn dat hier nu ook in iedere tijdzone iemand aanwezig is om in te grijpen als dat nodig is.
wait we’re federated with hexbear? I thought they defederated from us because we were too small for them to put us on their federation whitelist 🤔
If you check https://hexbear.net/instances you can see feddit.nl in the list, I’m not subscribed to any of their communities so I haven’t noticed whether their content shows up, but I see reactions in the comments by hexbear users sometimes.
