Lemmy.one will be shutting down

This post serves as notice that Lemmy.one will be shutting down in 90 days.
Unfortunately, the moderation features in Lemmy never progressed to the point required to continue maintaining this service, and Lemmy simply does not have the userbase to justify the cost of this service. Myself and the moderation team apologize for the inconvenience this will cause.
This is sad news. Hopefully the comms can migrate to other smaller instances.
"Joining the fediverse isn't hard bro, your instance doesn't matter, just pick one."
"Stop using Lemmy.world, we need to redistribute to smaller instances."
The number of times I've heard these fucking lines when people discuss why Lemmy/the Fediverse isn't growing like corp-owned alternatives...

This should be the top post. This is the part with the meat and potatoes.
I didn't know this bit when I made the crosspost.

our "Zero Rando" makes way less changes to the gameplay than GMDX or Revision, which are often recommended to first time players but they're actually totally different games from the original
our "Zero Rando Plus" would be more similar in the amount of changes to them
I wish I remembered if my first playthrough was vanilla or not. I feel like it was. I can't remember when it was exactly but it would have been when the game was already roughly 10 years old. Late 2000s/early 2010s

this wouldn't be so bad if you could easily transfer your account from one instance to another

You can transfer all your subscriptions and blocks. What you cannot transfer is your imaginary internet points that aren't summed up by default in lemmy anyways.

Ironically enough, even though "imaginary" this aspect might be key to moderation. Assuming (and that's a flawed assumption) that people would upvote/downvote based not on their opinion but rather on how healthy/unhealthy to the discussion a comment is, then those "points" would be useful to see above/below a threshold one would want to interact, e.g. show content or not (or even now show even as to unfold).

does Reddit have any of these tools built-in? they sound cool, but they can also be built externally (I believe an automod exists?), and I would say correctly take a back seat to bug fixes
For admins? Surely.

Nah the points are laughably easy to game even in centralized reddit since this moderation aspect never made any sense. As if bad actors can't upvote themselves, buy upvotes or just repost any random garbage to /r/funny.
Its a terrible system that turned Reddit into a content desert. Once you decline some new person because "they dint have enough karma" they're never trying to contribute again and you end up with power users who have a moat around content production.
Shared moderation lists already do all of this in an actually functional way. You can subscribe to Bob's list of douchebags and have the client block them. This is something bluesky added quite recently but it already exists on fediverse to instance admins tho afaik not individual users yet.

I wonder if it's in the same git repo as Reddit itself, or if it's separate software
or if they even think it matters if it's built-in or separate

to be fair, they're both correct. Lemmy.world could go solo with no federation and still have a decent user base, maybe add db0 and ani.social and it would cover nearly all of the bases.
