Hi @[email protected]~ I'm the admin of lemmy.one (I know you also messaged me on Reddit). The specs for this server are roughly double the specs of lemmy.ml's server, except we're ~10x smaller than lemmy.ml at the moment, so we have lots of room for growth. I run mstdn.party which is one of the top 40 largest Mastodon servers according to the-federation.info, and I'm prepared to scale this community as well. If you want your community hosted on this instance, I'm happy to get that set up for you, we can talk further on Reddit.

If you're considering running your own Lemmy server instead, it is not particularly resource-intensive, I would imagine you could host up to ~1000 monthly active users on a server that costs no more than $30/month. I'm happy to invite you to some Lemmy admin communities who can provide assistance as well if you're interested in going that route.

The biggest problem to me is what I just saw you post in another reply, that these models built upon our knowledge exist almost solely within proprietary ecosystems.

and maybe even our Mastodon or Lemmy posts!

The Washington Post published a great piece which allows you to search which websites were included in the "C4" dataset published in 2019. I searched for my personal blog jonaharagon.com and sure enough it was included, and the C4 dataset is practically minuscule compared to what is being compiled for larger models like ChatGPT. If my tiny website was included, Mastodon and Lemmy posts (which are actually very visible and SEO optimized tbh) are 100% being scraped as well, there's no maybe about it.

If the current mods of r/atheism on Reddit want to create a new community here on lemmy.one, they can message me as described here: https://lemmy.one/post/41

If people are just looking for an existing atheism community here on the Lemmy network, there are atheism communities already on other servers, such as [email protected].

It's fine to register here, I mostly just don't want to create a misunderstanding that you have to register on lemmy.one to join local communities here, which can be joined from any instance. And I'm telling Subreddit moderators to link people to join-lemmy.org instead of lemmy.one in announcement posts in the spirit of decentralization.

Sent you a PM on Reddit :)

Lots of people here with the opposite opinion of me, which is that I like the website and not the mobile apps, but overall yeah I'm pretty convinced this format is probably the best poised alternative to replace Reddit for a lot of people. Maybe not everybody, but I am willing to "settle" for quality over quantity ;)

Yeah. The subscriber count it shows is the number of subscribers on your local instance, in this case lemmy.one (which would of course be 0 since it was just discovered)

The only way to see the true subscriber count at the moment is by looking on the instance where the community is hosted.

I would describe Apollo as an accessibility app in the sense that the regular Reddit app is unusable.

The only problem is that if your instance doesn't know about that community yet, it'll just 404, you still have to search for it first because visiting the link doesn't make your instance fetch the community yet.

This should still be the default behavior when it autofills a community link though, I hope they make this change 👍

Oh yeah, fixed 👍

You're welcome to use this account :)

I just want to avoid everybody joining lemmy.one.

Actually fulfilling campaign promises? This has no place in American politics! /s
