Posting as a new thread just for visibility cause lolfederation (ya know, loltna’s slightly more annoying cousin).

So at this point I think it’s clear we’re moving unless if some kind of miracle happens (and while we had the intent originally of waiting until March 18th for any finality in the decision I’m not sure if we’ll survive that long lol).

I’ve spent the last couple days testing several instances (both Lemmy and Mbin) and checking how fast, slow or inoperable their respective Federations seem to be and personally I’m leaning towards the final decision being either Lemmy.zip or Fedia.io as the frontrunners for both software types. I feel Lemmy.zip may be the best choice as (despite no content aside from myself and Jello making the odd thread) the community has already pulled almost 60 subscribers, and Lemmy has a bigger pop/longer existence meaning it might be around longer than mbin/kbin, but that’s a community choice.

So - Community Task Time!:

When you have a minute today please visit the SQ community on both:

https://fedia.io/m/SquaredCircle
https://lemmy.zip/c/squaredcircle

And I’d like you all to:

A) Make sure (from whatever instance you intend to keep using for your own personal account) that the community shows up for you. If 90% of you can’t see one or the other, there’s no point selecting it…

B) If they do, please comment on one of the existing posts (there’s 1-2 on each community) just to make sure your comments go through and properly federating out. Just make a comment below confirming you did comment in either community so I can keep track when checking. If you already have commented or posted, you’re good.
