Can you self-host, or are you looking for another online service? Facebook Groups is basically a forum when it comes down to it, and any forum software can do what you’re asking. I really like Discourse. You can self-host it for free (well, whatever your server costs), they’ll host it for free if you’re an open-source project, or if you’re a legal non-profit you can get 50% off their hosting for $25-50/month.

That’s Lemmy, it doesn’t do this.

I’m not aware of the problems, so I can’t make such a post. Looking at this now and searching by URL for magazines on kbin and communities on lemmy instances both seem to work as expected, so I can’t reproduce what you’re seeing.
I am aware of issues with lemmy.ml, searching for communities that are hosted on that server will often fail the first few times, and subscribing to communities that are hosted on that server often shows that subscriptions are “pending,” so if that’s where you are searching for communities I can see why it’d be an issue. Federation is a two-way street, so if lemmy.one can’t fetch remote data then it won’t work, but I’ve seen many other reports of people subscribing to remote communities just fine, so I don’t think there’s any issues we’re seeing on our end.
4 core AMD, 8GB RAM. Memory usage usually hovers around 1.5GB, load average around 0.6, so… Not sure what is going on over at lemmy.world lol
The downvote isn’t federated.
I disagree, but it sounds like lemm.ee will be a better fit for you, and that’s the beauty of the fediverse 👍
When doing an outdoor activity, I would allow my precise location on a run.
It is well-known now that anonymizing location data still does not preserve privacy: https://iapp.org/news/a/getting-lost-in-the-crowd-the-limits-of-privacy-in-location-data-2/
Yes, you will have to be sure to join an instance aligned with your values on moderation.
Comments are pushed out by the community’s server, they’re not pulled in by yours. So if you’re missing comments from communities hosted on lemmy.ml for example, it may be that lemmy.ml is overloaded and not sending out comments to the fediverse properly.
The other common issue with missing comments and posts is misconfigured language settings in your profile. You need to make sure at least Undefined and English are both selected, lots of people only have English selected which will make a lot of posts hidden.
DM’d you here.
PMs via Lemmy are a thing, but if you’re an existing Subreddit mod I want to verify that on Reddit :)
lemmy.ml has a lot of federation issues unfortunately (uptime issues in general, actually). There’s not much that can be done until their server is fixed, and yes I agree it’s very annoying, but they’re working on it 👍
This is usually an issue with your language settings, I wish the configuration options here were more clear. Lemmy is still essentially alpha software, associated quirks and all.
This is an issue with lemmy.ml, not lemmy.one. Lemmy servers are responsible for sending information out to other servers, lemmy.one is not responsible for pulling information in.
If lemmy.ml is not federating your community posts or your community there is broken entirely (which it sort of looks like…) then they have to fix that, or you have to rebuild a new community on an instance which isn’t broken.
This was written before lemmy.one was created, but I feel similarly (to not defederate) at the moment: https://fediverse.neat.pub/2023/07/10/threads/ - could definitely go either way with this one though.
