You create an account on the instance you’d like to move to. After that you can use some migration script to migrate your bookmarks and subscriptions, like one of those mentioned in this post.
No need to use script, in settings you can now download/export all settings (including subs), and then import them again on new instance.
You go to lemm.ee, feddit.uk, lemmy.ca or what ever instance you wish to join and create an account there. Just like you went to lemmy.world and joined that one.
Sometimes you need to write an application to prove you aren’t a bot.
Are bots incapable of doing that?
Not anymore since chatgpt, but not everyone has caught up to that yet.
lemmy.dbzer0.com says “Profanity is encouraged”. Perhaps it could fail on that, at least with some AI.
I actually think that’s pretty cool. Make the user swear so we know he/she is real. :)
But it also won’t work. You can run Ai models at home that doesn’t have the language police.
You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lies on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?
I guess you know, but there is a remastered version of blade runner that is blue ray quality… Soo good. Still holds up graphically in most places.
A possible reason is that I myself baked to death, or at least unconsciousness, so I was unable to help the tortoise.
Although I also don’t think I would have flipped it over in the first place.
We actually have a riddle in our application which is specifically crafted to be all but impossible for LLMs and easy for humans
Mtgzone asks you to name your favorite Magic card and explain why. So, the AI would need to understand all that, know the name of a Magic card, and say what’s good about it.
That’s actually really easy for an LLM
Without refining the prompt on chat gpt:
Needs a bit of work, but that generally does the task
Yeah, but let’s be honest, its quite obvious that an AI wrote this.
Like I said, needs work.
Some adjustments start to improve it, and I bet someone trying to mass sign up for an instance could get it in a good spot
Better, but still quite Obvious. It devinetively needs work, but it would be possible. It might raise some eyebrows when you get 5k Account creation requests in 10 Minutes or so and there will be cases where the AI is hallucinating.
Yep that would be more concerning. I think an effective setup wouldn’t try to hit the same instance constantly,… Spread it around
Unless they call it a sad robot it is clearly ai. Anyone in mtgzone knows this
Some software engineers are worried that they’ll take their jobs, but at this point of development, they’re simply not capable enough to successfully, reliably, and robustly implement a system with more than relatively trivial boilerplate logic - and that doesn’t even touch on the creation of robust testing frameworks and the logic therein.
Oh. Thanks 😊
I see. Thanks 😊
You just join another instance like normal.
But having left beehaw recently, I would say I can’t really see any good reasons to leave lemmy world.
I only left beehaw because one admin I felt was overlooking crap people in one specific minority and it was slowly turning into a echo chamber. Ironically, it turns out the crap person in particular coloured my perception of other lemmy servers ages ago to make it seem like other lemmy servers were a cesspool (they are not)
It was also surprisingly unstable compared to lemmy world servers
I haven’t seen any actions by lemmy world admins however which would encourage leaving.
In fact, you can access mostly the same posts from different servers here anyway because servers are mostly federated
Well that clears that up!
As far as not wanting to leave lemmy.world, you can’t see life through their eyes.
Me personally, I’ve decided to stay, but only because my top priority is having an instance that won’t be gone in a year because they have 6 users, and the admin doesn’t want to pay for an instance no one uses.
If I could find a stable instance, with no threats of being shut off ever, that doesn’t defederate with anyone, I would go there.
The OTHER reason I don’t leave is because Lemmy isn’t ready for prime time. I’m on Lemmy.World, which despite the intentions of Lemmy, is essentially the centralized hub. And one of the biggest reasons I don’t leave is that if I want to create a new community, I CAN’T do so on any other instance besides my home instance.
This means I can move to a less populated instance, create a community, and nobody will see it.
OR
I can stay here, create the community here, and it will get seen more often by people browsing by local. Or exploring what communities this instance has.
But I suspect eventually you’ll be able to give instance admins the ability to allow non-local users to create communities. And I suspect the norm will be for admins to allow this. This will allow Lemmy to grow, and maybe users will spread out more.
My biggest reason FOR wanting to leave Lemmy.World would be to be on an instance that doesn’t defederate from ANYONE. I’ll choose what content is offensive to me, thank you. Which for me, is next to none.
lemm.ee is pretty big and doesnt defederate nearly as much as lemmy.world
Go to the instance and sign up for it, assuming they have open sign ups.
I’m new to this but I’ll figure it out eventually.
You don’t need to join another instance to comment or view things there!
I got the message that my post was removed because I was on a local instance on Lemmy.world.
But your home instance is already lemmy.world. I’m confused what’s going on lol. Some communities only allow people from that community to post or put top level comments there because it is a community for problems related to the instance. Maybe that is what happened?
Why would one want to move to a different instance? Why would someone want to be on multiple instances? To be honest, the initial registration process wasn’t straightforward for me and I just about gave up.
