[Meta] Could we consider moving this community to another instance? (sopuli.xyz)

Hello everyone,

There has been some discussions lately about the moderation of some LW communities (see [email protected] for details)

Which made me think that we currently don't have any active LW mod, the only remaining one being @[email protected]

So why would we not consider moving this community to another instance?

For people curious why moving the community to another instance would be beneficial:

LW has a 7-days delay with instances like aussie.zone (https://feddit.uk/post/18336398)
Having most of the instances on LW give a lot of power to the LW admins and mods, while spreading them out could be more ideal from a power distribution perspective
Previous communities have already migrated successfully, like [email protected]

Instances option

https://lemm.ee/ is nice, good uptime, skilled admins, and very low defederation list
https://lemm.ee/legal
https://status.lemm.ee/
https://lemm.ee/post/401063

Alternatively, https://lemmy.zip/ is very well run

They regularly post very detailed updates on [email protected] such as this one: https://lemmy.zip/post/27236300

They also offer very detailed information on those pages:

In my dreams, a new instance is built completely around soccer/football and this great sport gets the focus and attention on Lemmy it deserves across various leagues and geographies, with team forums for ultras.

Hello,

The issue is that we don't have that many admins. As you can see from the activity, the interest on that topic is quite limited. Having a single community now seems enough.

The one team community I know of is [email protected]
