Hello to anyone stumbling across this, I just wanted to let you know that there are existing Eurovision communities at:

and the other communities don't steal banners from reddit:)

Still can't figure out if it would be a good thing or a bad thing to post the same threads in both of them😭 I love the idea of federation, but I'm still at the stage where it's all really confusing...

Thanks for this:) You might wanna check the local kbin links - swap the "c"s in the addresses for "m"s and they should be good

I wrote this as an answer to the original post, but Lemmy didn't send it; the loading circle just loaded forever.

But this is what it is:

If you want me to take it down, I can do that(?)

I took the banner from reddit, so I assume it's made by the mods there; I don't claim credit for it. If the mods message me or just write here, I can give them mod access (I already wrote this under their twitter account). I just created this because no r/eurovision alternative existed yet, and I thought it would be good to have one. And I took the banner from the subreddit because it's familiar (and I didn't have the time to design something by myself).

I didn't initially think it's something bad when trying to migrate a community, but if someone had asked me, I would have taken it down (I still can and probably will).

Thank you for pointing me towards the other ones as well. This one is the oldest and has more subscribers than feddit (I created it because no other existed yet), so I'd post it to all instances to just find one. :)

I also just wanted to help bring reddit content to lemmy, and especially a subreddit I like and enjoy.

Thank you @[email protected] for writing about commenting with the language, I didn't figure out that this was the reason I couldn't send an answer here before I read this haha.

Update: I did create a new banner showing the three last winners. Using the reddit banner wasn't in malicious intent, but since it wasn't liked by some people, I hope this is a good alternative. :)

Wait a minute, those do have "m"s in them. Am I going mad? Or actually maybe you left this comment before I edited it this morning and for some reason it's just notified me now. Yay federation things lol.

(also it wouldn't let me post this reply without selecting a language, deffo something funky going on in this thread!)

I changed the settings and now both English and selecting nothing works. :)

The first one gives an error and the second one shows empty πŸ€”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Huh, you're right it looks like they've deleted the feddit.uk one. I wonder why!

The Kbin one is definitely not empty but you might just be the first subscriber from your instance and it's not great at pulling in old posts. New ones will show up though. Not that there's a whole lot going on there either atm in July!

[–] bossito 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just subscribed, hope to see something there soon. On my search for Eurovision I saw plenty of communities but most showed only one user, but maybe being at Lemmy.world limits the number of users I see in communities elsewhere? Hmm I guess I'll subscribe them all then πŸ˜…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It'll show the subscriber count from your instance, rather than the total. Don't ask me why!

Also hello I totally recognise your name from Eurovision Mastodon πŸ˜„

[–] bossito 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Ahah I guess next year I'll bother my Mastodon followers a bit less and focus on Eurovision Lemmy instead πŸ˜…

[–] Korne127 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hey; the feddit.uk one got deleted as the owner purged his account :/
From what I can tell, this one is currently the most active community and has most subscribers, but I'd think it might make sense to subscribe to both to just also get the content if posted there :)

[–] bossito 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I subscribed all i've seen, around 6 πŸ˜…

[–] Korne127 2 points 2 years ago

Haha nice :)
