Lemmy.cafe is now the new official home of MealtimeVideos on the threadiverse!

Why did we move here?

The main benefit of the move is to allow the community to reach a wider audience, as some communities are defederated from Lemmy.world and miss out on all of the excellent videos you all post here. In particular, we believe it’s been to our extreme detriment that the wonderful Beehaw community has been excluded from participating all this time (hi Beehaw! y’all should be able to read this post! 🐝)

Additionally, the sheer size of Lemmy.world can bring with it unintended consequences, the chief example of which is the lag time that smaller instances can sometimes experience when trying to interact with .World, with that lag time sometimes stretching into the days, or even weeks when things get really bad.

That’s not to say it hasn’t been an excellent home for us, and those issues are only an effect of their popularity and success. We are forever grateful to the Lemmy.world admins for hosting our community and allowing it to become what it is today. They are under the heaviest workload out of the entire threadiverse, and their efforts must be commended.

But in keeping with the spirit of decentralization, we felt it time to help spread the load, and to hopefully draw attention to this new smaller and cozy instance, which we hope will become another thriving community in our decentralized web of villages.

We also would like to give a tremendous thanks to Illecors for graciously allowing us to call his instance our home. Did us a solid, man. :)

Lastly, thank you to everyone that has contributed here. We look forward to seeing you here!

(This announcement was planned and written in collaboration with @OmegaMouse@pawb.social, thank you my friend!)
