Why this one instead of 196?
Why this one instead of 196?
Sidebar doesn't say why, but it does say I have to post, so I guess I'm posting to ask why!

Ho boy, where to start...
- The moderators of the community !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone had disagreements with the admin team of blahaj.zone (Ada) and decided they wanted to move to lemmy.world.
- The !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone community was locked with an announcement to visit !196@lemmy.world instead. This caused confusion/anger among much of the community who preferred the way blahaj.zone is run as an instance.
- Ada did not want to forcefully reopen the !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone community and boot the mod team, but also did not want to leave the users of 196 feeling like they had no choice but to use the lemmy.world community, so she
openedpromoted !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone (which displays as 196) which is run by a different mod team. - There was still a lot of disagreement about the attempted move to !196@lemmy.world, so the mods reopened the previous !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone community to placate folks.
The end result is that there are now three 196 communities (plus a 4th on Hexbear I think) which are each relatively active.
Edit: typos.
Edit 2: correction about the origin of !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone

So a transporter malfunction basically

I've seen a couple of people say this now, so I will clarify that Ada did not open this community, SoleInvictus did! Ada did however feature it and make a post on the old 196 which lead here.
Edit: This was supposed to be a reply to Stovetop :P oh well

Thanks! I guess my recollection of events might be a bit hazy, I've corrected my earlier comment.

This one on Blahaj has by far the most posts. The "original" Blahaj 196 and .world 196 have fewer posts but their most upvoted ones tend to have around the same or slightly more upvotes than the most upvoted posts on here.
It's all so stupid though. Why don't they at least close one of the two 196's? If their migration failed, just admit it and close the community on World. If they truly want to migrate and don't want to moderate on Blahaj under Ada, then close the old one.

There's also !19684@lemmy.blahaj.zone which is apparently "196 but no sex or hornyposting"

19864 is also a combination of 196 and libertyhub. Mostly apolitical memes with a few leftist memes sprinkled in and like libertyhub annoying libs who call all leftists "tankies" arent allowed.
-
y'all should update the sidebar to make it clearer what 19864 is...

I've noticed that lemmy.world is delisted from most instance lists, so it's interesting that they'd choose that one. Thank you for the answer!

About that: Lemmy.world is generally disliked for entirely reasonable reasons. They are the biggest instance due to it being seen as the default during the API exodus, and having a large population means that you are going to see a lot of trolls. Their mod policies also are very lenient with trolls, which a lot of people don't like. Also, people are kinda sick of how all the big communities are on .world instead of being spread out across the fediverse.
