The PlayStation 5 community over on lemmy.ml/c/ps5 is moving to lemmy.world/c/ps5

Join us and subscribe: !ps5@lemmy.world

Why is this being posted in Nintendo?

For those of you that don't know, I'm the original creator of the PS5 community that is now migrating. @slimerancher@lemmy.world is your beloved lead mod and creator of the Nintendo Communtiy. Through the joys of the Fediverse, he and I clicked and decided to co-mod both PS5 and Nintendo together. Since I am migrating my community to a new location, I talked this over with @slimerancher@lemmy.world and he has graciously allowed me to pin this post here to help me with the transition.
So those of you with a PS5 (in addition to your Nintendo Consoles) can come join us at our new location. Just click new link and subscribe!

Why is lemmy.ml/c/ps5 moving to lemmy.world/c/ps5? And what will become of the old community?

This is all covered in my explaination thread over on the old PS5 community, which you can find here:

If you have any questions, I am happy to answer them!

I can't just choose a smaller instance blindly when I'm trying to build for the long term. I need time to vet admins, align ideals, understand the infrastructure, place trust in the admins that they won't just give up, or make a critical error, etc. It's a fundamental different calculus than just making a user account. Even a large instance like Fmhy fumbled the ball and had their domain sniped. I need guarantees that where I choose to park my community will still be around when the going gets tough. This all takes time, and prior to Mali, I had time. Once Fmhy fell, I wasn't sure if I had hours, let alone days or weeks. I chose to place my trust in the largest instance because they have the best track record, not just on lemmy, but also on mastodon.

As for being taken by surprise, not everyone follows TLD news. I thought ml for was machine learning, not the country of Mali. And I only heard of all of this this week. Needless to say, I get the concerns and sympathize with them, but I made the best choice for my community.
