Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️

An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭

Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

ahh parang decentralize yung paghost ng instance at pwede magcommunicate ang iba't-bang instance, kaya pala noong tinitignan ko bakit meron lemmy.world at lemmy.ml magkaiba ba ito o parehas ba. yun pala parehas naman kaya na lito ako kung saan ako magsisign-up

It's also worth noting na may important distinction yung mga instances. lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml for example, are populated by tankies. So, kahit na may Philippines sila dun na community, it's not as casual unlike the version we created here at lemmy.world that uses the Mastodon code of conduct similar to reddiquette.

Sa totoo lang hindi rin ako familiar sa mga ideological distinctions na yan nung una. The only reason why I chose to create this in lemmy.world is because the other bigger instances weren't accepting any new applications. Buti na lang, haha.

Buti na lang talaga! Parang nung sumali ako, fresh off the oven pa itong instance na ito, so wala rin akong idea other than it was created to take the load off some of the other instances.

Edit:

Alangan din akong i-bring up yung ideologies that differ between instances (like lemmy.ml is kinda left-y, lemmygrad.ml is communist, hexbear even more so) and ended up hinting at them by saying "magkaibang kultura". 😅

Well, pareho lang silang Lemmy, pero dahil sa magkakaiba ang nagpapatabo, magkakaiba ang pagpapatakbo ng mga yan. So kunwari, yung lemmygrad.ml iba ang patakbo sa beehaw.org. Kaya importante rin na i-check yung instance na sasalihan, mejo magkakaiba-iba sila ng patakaran at kultura.

Tho that said, as far as I know, chill lang dito sa lemmy.world, and I think it's one of the best instances to join in lalo na kung mejo undecided ka.
