Is Lemmy.ml missing from the fediverse explorer?

It was removed deliberately during the reddit exodus in order to direct new Lemmy users elsewhere. Rather than to overload lemmy.ml further.

Also, to push people to other instances to avoid centralization.

Best instance stays winning.
Oh, interesting. I guess now it should probably be added back
- Naw... It's okay. We're good.
- Shithole instance.

I'd call that a win

I'm assuming this has something to do with the update to 19.4 that somehow messed up the Lemmy Crawler. awesome-lemmy-instances seems to have a similar problem.

I don't think @lodion@aussie.zone's information is correct because I remember seeing lemmy.ml in the instance filter list just a while ago.

Also: What does any of this have to do with the moderation of lemmy.ml? I also don't like their moderation but does that mean the instance and their communities shouldn't be visible on the Lemmy Explorer? Who should decide which instance should or should not be included on the list? If you want to avoid the instance like I do you can just use the filter to remove lemmy.ml communities on the community browser of the Lemmy Explorer.

Thanks, I just noticed lemm.ee, lemmy.zip, lemmy.ca etc. missing too, so definitely a 19.4 issue.

Strong agree.

That's a good thing!

Removed itself to drive traffic to other instances last summer (if this is the same tool).

It is, someone should probably open an issue on the Github: https://github.com/tgxn/lemmy-explorer/issues

.............or don't.

My understanding is that Lemmy.ml is not exactly a nice place. Lots of drama. I'm staying out. But it very well might be a bad starting point for new users.

Then again I'M a new user, and I have next to no idea what's going on.
- There is some drama, but at the same time some only exist there (see this post: https://lemmy.world/post/16235541)
  
  For instance
  
  !jellyfin@lemmy.ml
  
  !fdroid@lemmy.ml
  
  !unixporn@lemmy.ml
  
  So I wouldn't say it's such a good idea to not show them at all.

Uhhhhhhh.........I don't know. I just got here a month ago. I spent May smoking so much weed that I do NOT remember the bulk of May. Including the days that led me to Lemmy.

All I know, is I went through a very bad time in late April. So I just said to myself "too much shit is going down. I don't even give a fuck anymore."

And so it was. I was baked out of my mind for like 3-4 weeks straight. I've never done that before, but honestly, I needed that.

And now that I'm sober, somehow I mostly know what I'm doing within my own bubble on lemmy, but I would NOT call myself an advanced power user of Lemmy.

I learned while high, and although I retained what I learned, I don't remember learning it.

So now this is a new thing about Lemmy. I know of https://browse.feddit.de/ but I don't know of fediverse explorer.

Explain the difference between the thing I linked, which I think I was told is the be all end all of Lemmy community searching, and this Fediverse Explorer?

I'm excited for this Fediverse. I'm all in on this. I love the seperation, the redundancy, the freedom. But I feel like I'm in kindergarten, and you guys are like "check out this algebra!"

And I'm like "Do what now?"

They have a different way to present things. I prefer Fediverse Explorer (more information with the table format), but to each their own.
- Ah. So it's not one being better than the other. It's more a case of layout taste.
  
  THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS FEDIVERSE!!!
  
  Other platforms would tell you "this is what this service is, this is how it looks, it's all you're getting, so kneel down, shut the fuck up and take this corporate dick down your throat!"
  
  Meanwhile the fediverse is more like:
  
  "This is the thing you use. It's great!"
  
  And then another guy is like "No, wait, try this instead. It's better."
  
  So now you have to try both, snd make your own conclusion.
  
  Or maybe there's a third thing I don't even know about. Theres no law saying that ONLY two options are available. There's no limit. You could show me 500 different options.
  
  Nobody can tell you what to use, what not to use, whats better.........thats all stuff for the user to decide.
I don't know how to answer your question, but I do have a long unrelated anecdote to share followed by some questions of my own.
Nice one dude. High memories run deep 😤

This is your guy

They basically do the same thing but the interface is better on this one.
- Oooooohhhhhh...thank you! I've been on Lemmy for a bit but still have a lot to learn about the fediverse.
- Weird my vegantheoryclub.org instance shows up on browse.feddit.de but not lemmyverse.net
  
  For some reason !weedtime@lemmy.world is not on browse.feddit.de but is on lemmyverse.net
Good luck with your hard times. It gets better
