Is there place where we can download a nightly dataset? Or an API to grab all the communities in the DB?

Dissolving this community, consolidating at programming.dev (self.emacs)

When I first joined Lemmy and created this instance, there was no emacs community with consistent activity. I created the community mostly to see if I could help in the efforts during the Reddit migration and because it's one of the subreddits that I was still visiting regularly.

I was also interested in having some communities where I could have full control to run some experiments: most notably the ability to have all submissions and contents mirrored from Reddit via alien.top.

These experiments and the effort to keep it fresh with content did make this most active emacs community (even without the mirroring bots) but to be honest today it feels out of place. Two years later, the landscape of instances are more of less consolidated and I'm no longer interested in running a community that does not belong to a topic-specific instance.

I strongly believe that there should be a cleaner separation between instances for groups and instances for people, and it would be kind of hypocritical to keep nurturing this community here when there is an instance focused on programming and software tools.

So, effective today, I am removing this community from fediverser.network as the recommended alternative and I'm going to list !emacs@programming.dev as the best place for emacs content. I don't know if there is a standard procedure established for these types, so I'm going to keep the community open for the next 90 days and keep this post pinned until then. On June 1st, I will close down this community altogether.
