In respect to you guys modding the original r/Android, I will leave this up, unlocked. But please, don’t make any more new posts here advertising r/Android V2.
Let the games begin I guess.Edit: Please read this.
Why shouldn’t they do “r/Android V2” posts? Is [email protected] “The Android community”? Are we going to put a non-compete rule in writing or spirit for this community? How tone-deaf would this be in the current Reddit upheaval context? The Fediverse is literally about anti-monopilization. [email protected] just so happens to be one community named “Android” among others on other instances. It also happens to be on the largest instance for now. But a successful, large community doesn’t have to be on the largest instance. That’s not how federation works. Ultimately all of us users check the number of user subs before we subscribe or we just sub to all. Being the first to register this community on this instance isn’t what’s gonna determine that. Whichever “The Android community” becomes on Lemmy, it requires moderation work and likely that will determine the final result. If the /r/Android mods want to tell us where the new version of it is, they can do that in a lot more channels than "[email protected]”, like the various tech or Reddit related communities across the instances. Someone posting this here shouldn’t trigger any special feelings in my opinion as it’s no different or significantly more influential. The battle for creating a Reddit alternative is much bigger one than who’s gonna claim they own this or that piece of land. So I’d welcome every free labor team (mod teams) from Reddit to Lemmy and help them get started even if it means that I have to cede some space. We supported these folks during the blackouts, why should we stop doing so when they decided to migrate? Isn’t that the logical continuation of the same events?
So we have separate Android communities running on separate instances. I can’t see how this community splintering can be a good thing.
Don’t like the direction of one? You get options. Like them both? Subscribe to both. It’s like getting Gamers Nexus and LTT, different perspective but overlapping community.
It’s just like having different subreddits about the same topic. Just subscribe to both.
Doesn’t seem to have federated with Kbin just yet. :(
I faced the same issue with other new communities as well and I think it’s because of the new lemmy version 0.18? and it’ll be fixed
It doesn’t look to be 0.18.0 (.1 is supposed to not have issues anymore iirc, that’s why I’m specifying .0).
This command was brought up in regards to the lemmy.ml issue:
curl -I --user-agent "kbinBot v0.1" https://lemmy.ml/u/testWhen the lemmy.ml is replaced with any instance running 0.18.0, it’ll give an OK response. With lemmy.ml it gives a Forbidden response.
But with lemdro.id I get an Internal Server Error.
The instance claims to be super fast, maybe they forked and optimized the code and broke federation in the process?
Edit: Also they’re on 0.18.1 anyway, so yeah, it’s not the usual issues.

Good move guys! Enjoy you stay here! 🎉🎉
Read the room, it’s not a “good move”, it’s a dick move against
!android@lemmy.worldmods who built this community when r/Android was radio silent about us and never helped, it’s disrespectful. It’s only now after they saw Redditors migrating to Lemmy that they thought they should join too, but only by launching a tiny duplicate community because it hurts their ego to let go of their mod positions and join an already established Android community. What adds insult to injury is that they come here and astroturf as if!android@lemmy.worlddoesn’t exist, hoping to absorb its users.Can you explain what the controversy is about? So the /r/Android mods tried to start an Android community on the fediverse but other people got to them first? How are they astroturfing?
- r/Android never mentioned Lemmy before when they could have made use of the blackout to introduce people to Lemmy;
- never mentioned nor helped [email protected], and instead preferred to launch a tiny community much later on with the exact same goals and content just so that they can preserve their imaginary mod “powers”;
- waited until [email protected] grew sufficiently big and until the fear of missing out kicked in, and then decided to advertise inside this community for there being “finally” an Android community on the Fediverse, still completely gaslighting [email protected] here and on r/Android;
- the low effort advertisement in OP’s post acting as if we’re not already on a much larger and well-established Android community:

I was part of that subreddit and welcome them to the Fediverse. But I’m in kbin and my efforts to join them are not working. Hope there is a fix for this soon.
Side question: Is there a website with a list of all interest/communities and its address so we could just search that website and add all the sites we wanted to kbin?
https://lemmyverse.net/communities Once you go to the site on the top right there’s an icon of a house click it and set your local instance. From there you’re free to search all communities by name and by instance location and once you click on them it will open using your local instance automatically. From there you simply have to subscribe
Thanks, this was very helpful!
