The side bar for this community explains that this community is for discussions about the lemmy.world Lemmy instance (server downtime, upgrades, bugs, etc).

As people (including me) surged over in The Great 2023 Migration, it seems a lot of people are still figuring things out and not sure where they’re supposed to post about certain topics (which is completely understandable).

For a few days I’ve seen people from other instances (eg. lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, etc) posting in this community about things that have nothing to do with the lemmy.world instance.

Today, I’m seeing people from kbin talking about boosts (which no Lemmy instance has).

I love reading about some of these things, and learning about what’s going on on other instances and even platforms, but I don’t think this community is the place for that. Your posts are drowning out posts from lemmy.world accounts trying to ask other lemmy.world accounts about things specific to the lemmy.world instance.

If you’re account isn’t on the lemmy.world instance (eg. lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, kbin, etc), please consider unsubscribing from this community and making those posts and comments in a more appropriate community (where I absolutely look forward to reading them).

    I think the fediverse is just still confusing to a lot of people, myself included, and kbin was just recently federated again after the initial traffic increase required some countermeasures to keep it running. I also feel that the name of this specific community isn’t particularly descriptive and I heard on mobile the sidebar info isn’t that visible / hidden at the bottom
