It is my pleasure to announce that effective immediately, we are transferring our community to Lemmy.world! This has been a few months in the making, so my entire mod team is already on board.
FAQ:
Why?
That’s a complicated question with a long answer! The primary reason is moderatorial and ideologial differences between my team and Ada’s excellent team of admins. We are on good terms with Ada and her team, and have gotten her consent to do this. In addition to this, the fact that a large portion of instances do not federate with lemmy.blahaj.zone has caused our reach to be reduced, with many communities creating their own 196es.
How does this work?
Currently, as there is not an easy way to transfer an entire community (trust me, we checked), so we are locking the community as mod-only, and moving our focus to the 196 on lemmy.world. For you guys, functionally nothing has changed.
What about the posts?
Well, we tried to transfer them, but there was no real way to do so without absolutely destroying lemmy.world’s federation. For this reason, we are simply archiving this community as mod-only. Everything is staying up, you just won’t be able to post new content. Comments are still enabled, so we will continue to check our modlogs for some time after the transfer has settled.
As for the posts on lemmy.world’s 196, we’re leaving those up too. From this point onwards, all posts made to that community are beholden to the rules you are all used to, but anything pre-existing is getting grandfathered in.
IF YOU GUYS HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, PLEASE PUT THEM IN THE COMMENTS OF THIS POST, AND I’LL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER THEM.
Once again, here’s the link to our new apartment of awesome. (non-blahaj link)

people comment on the pinned post expressing their displeasure at the move. Many calls for more explicit details about why the move, why no consultation with the subscribed users, why essentially no notice, and why locking the community here
Mods: lock comment section
‘my entire mod team is on board’
Well that’s great to hear, too bad you forgot that our community also happens to have a community of people, 99% of whom want to stay on Blåhaj.
:(
Very disappointing, as I along with other Beehaw users won’t have access to the new one.
You will still be able to access [email protected]
Thanks!
just fyi u forgot to lock this duplicated post too :P
That’s next level 😄
The mod team isn’t the whole community but fuck what we think of .world and fuck people on instances that aren’t federated with them I guess.
Who defederates from blåhaj? Why? As far as I can see it’s just a queer instance only bigots would defederate.
Bigotry is why, yeah. blahaj.zone has been nothing but a nice instance. lemmy.world on the other hand… 🙄
My instance isn’t federated with world afaik 😞 I’m gonna miss you
you didn’t explain why though
moderatorial and ideologial differences
doesn’t explain much
Damn :c
What has led to that decision?
noooooooo
big sad day has happened. i liked the local and smol feel, but fine…
Double post?
Indeed
that might be a federation issue
Do you see this comment and my comment linking to the community as replies to the same post?
Welcome to the family <3
