I just think it would be good to point users to some kind of crawler that knows all the communities. Searching communities under “all” from within lemmy is almost misleading.

Absolutely second that! However, if not incorporated in the lemmy landing page as tip with different links, I don’t see that info spreading much…

Since lemmy.world is disabled - but on the site - I guess it was a deliberate decision by the instance admins, right? So starting an initiative here would not be that successful I guess.

That’s a pity, because more big instances taking part would be key and the fact that they actively decided against instead of just not being aware does not give a positive outlook…

However, I agree with @ategon@programming.dev that this does not mean the whole thing is pointless but on the contrary is very useful for the communities on the instances taking part.

Thanks for the link. I did not know such a service existed.

Am I right, that if for an instance the status is “Disabled” than it does not take part in the community federation? e.g.: lemmy.world?

Thanks, that totally clarifies it!

Could it be, that ages ago, they named it the same but with the F-Droid version (also technically, because no GSF/Play Store) not being able to make that in-app purchases? Whatever, maybe I’m remembering that incorrect, it’s all pretty fuzzy and blurred in my memories… I’m getting old ;-) To have different names is definitely the best solution.

Special thanks for digging that one out!

Same here, would be genuinely interested, because… well, the obvious… I am already using, and trusting ProtonMail and ProtonVPN, so any information that potentially violates this trust is pretty important for me.
