As lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of the month, the community needs to find a new home instance.

The poll will be done via voting, you can vote for as many options as you want, but voting with multiple accounts will lead to all of your votes being discarded. Downvotes will be ignored.

Regardless of the choice, the live thread bot will be available.

The options to vote for are these:

  • !football@soccer.forum or alternatively !football@jogabonito.community
    Pros:

    • Active and responsive admin
    • Instance dedicated to football
    • The instance is more or less already fully funded by paying users according to the owner.

    Cons:

    • Single point of failure in instance owner
    • Instance name is soccer for the first option
  • !football@sopuli.xyz
    Pros:

    Cons

    • More of the same, similar risk as lemm.ee
  • Create a new community at !football@piefed.social
    Pros:

    • A more rapid developed reddit alternative that seems more in tune with integrating community requested features.
    • Both post and user flairs are currently supported.

    Cons:

    • Questionable long term scalability due to being built on top of python.
    • No/few app options

Let me know if i missed something

    New domain I just bought and will find an option for hosting if it wins:

    ojogabonito.com

    Pros:

    -No mentions of soccer or football to confuses the Americans and the rest of the world

    -It’s not “.news” - we’re a community not a news site

    -It wouldn’t be on the .world monolith

    -Make communities for your teams

    Cons:

    • Gotta figure out how to host

      Ok, I just found jogabonito.community for $35/year. I can transfer it to you at cost if you want. Let’s add to the list of choices.

        I mean the .com is like $13/ year lol. I’d rather transfer to you. Doesn’t make sense to buy a more expensive domain

          But I’d rather have the cleaner domain than the one with the cheat.

          I do agree though that .news is not ideal. @UlrikHD@programming.dev, can you change the option for jogabonito.news to jogabonito.community ?

            I don’t feel like it’s a cheat. I changed it from “Beautiful Game” to “The Beautiful Game”. Either way, though. You’re welcome to take my domain too. I have too many as it is

              “Joga Bonito” is a verb, not a noun. It translates to “Play it beautifully”.
