Presentation of the feature: https://piefed.social/post/667045

One of the advantages of a decentralized platform like Lemmy is the ability to create parallel communities on the same topic. "You don't like how a community is being moderated? Go to another instance and start your own community!" (with or without blackjack and hookers)

Most instances have a community where users can request the moderator role for inactive or unmoderated communities.

With Lemm.ee shutting down, the Adventure games community (!adventuregames@lemm.ee) is moving to new instance (!adventuregames@retrolemmy.com).

Hello Lemmy users!

The recent discussion of instance admin burnout has got me thinking about how do we create a sustainable model going forward to prevent admins from being over burdened.

I have two lemm.ee communities and I very much want to keep the post history in one community for discover ability and archival purposes.

Good day all. I now have a nonprofit called BT Free for Big Tech Free. It is a digital privacy rights, advocacy and consulting nonprofit. We're currently working on our 501(c)3.

I used to love doing that for people. Is there anything similar here?

Just reported a spam comment in !foxnews@lemmy.sdf.org (for foxes the animal, not the TV channel) before I remembered the mod is MIA. Now I'm curious if an admin will see my report or not.

Is there a way, without going to the source code, to check how the "explore" panel on mastodon, or the "discover" panel on Pixelfed, are generated.

I'm a writer/animator/YouTuber/content creator.

It might be nice if lemmy clients (voyager, default client, etc) would make a suggestive pop-up:

Luckily I haven't really had people post rule-breaking content in my communities. Nobody posting bitcoin spam, being nasty towards other users, or breaking a rule that you cannot just assume exists (I'd assume "do not be mean, do not spam/post on-topic things" to be universal) and would have to actually read the sidebar for (like no posts about humans in bunny suits in !bunnies@lemmy.world). I was wondering if this is most mods' experience on Lemmy.

Perhaps some instances or some add-ons do this. I think it should be native.

I realise this could have its problems with abusive mods (although Lemmy records when people edit posts), but to me, it has a lot of benefits. Some communities have rules around how posts should look for clarity and/or aesthetic purposes. Sometimes as a mod I see posts that I think are fine, but could just be slightly adjusted to look a bit different or match up with the standards of the community - and I don't want to be anal and remove it over something small like that - but I would quietly edit it.

Is there an instance specific to outdoor/nature communities?

Hear me out: Had these ideas to ensure lemmy doesn't derail into a short video/meme spiral like every other social platform

I mod the !iiiiiiitttttttttttt@lemmy.world community, I've managed to grow the number of subscribers from 360 to 800.

There's !foxes@lemmy.world and !foxnews@lemmy.sdf.org. The lemmy.world version has a more recently active mod, @mjokfox@pawb.social / @mjokfox@lemmy.world, while the lemmy.sdf.org one @Greyscale@lemmy.sdf.org hasn't been seen in 2 years. There appears to be a lot more recent activity on !foxes@lemmy.world especially thanks to @ickplant@lemmy.world and overall a bit more activity there. However, lemmy.world is the biggest instance and consolidating towards smaller but still active instances tends to be a better move for keeping the Fediverse decentralized and diverse instead of centralized all on one huge instance.

Hi all,

https://piefed.social/f/lemmycategories

Strategy games have a ton of communities, one which has been poked recently into living (!strategy@lemmy.world) and many which are dead.

We currently have quite a few:

It seems https://lemmy-federate.com/ is just wildly popular with people suggesting it and eagerly biting on the suggestion they were given. It seems to just completely subvert the intention of not wasting any storage or space or even energy by federating out communities others did not ask for, or federating in communities nobody on the instance subscribes to, by having bots on instances follow communities. So my understanding is that even if nobody on example.instance cares about exampleCommunity@federate.org, example.instance still wastes resources on federating it in if someone submitted it here.

Just a thought: But I was reading this thread, and although I had thought of it before - it came back to me again. Seems to me that Lemmy, even a particular instance, could work on a sort of "Categorisation System" function whereby communities would be categorised under certain tags so new users (and anyone really) could filter for communities they have interest in. So you would filter by, for instance: Conversational, Memes, News, Politics, Movies, Gaming, Technology etc. Some communities could have multiple tags. It would even be cool if you could exclude certain tags too. So someone might want to see "News" but not "Politics" and filter for communities focused on news, but without any political focus. There could even be subcategories too, so: "Conservational" would have specific types of discussion underneath it: "Debate", "Casual" etc.

Back with newsgroups the general rule was to go from general to specific. You start with a general discussion group and when discussions about video games get annoying you create a games group. If then there are too many Baldur’s Gate discussions you create BG. If they are dominated by Baldur’s Gate 3 you create a Baldur’s Gate 3 group. If everyone is fawning over Withers you create a Withers group which of course will be flooded with discussion about the Withers’ tits mod, which shall get its own group.

I want to pitch someone to do some posts in !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al

Is it a PTB move (!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com) to ban a user if their only activity in a community is downvoting posts?

The instances being used are

I've noticed occasionally well-meaning people trying to start communities, or move them to new instances, promptly filling the void in what I'd call "linkdumping". This is when someone creates a bunch of link posts to a variety of articles, sometimes from a single site, but often from a few, all related to the community's topic/focus. At a glance it's similar to spam, but I think it's sort of wrong to label it as such, as on further inspection you can tell that the intent is different.

!Witchesvspatriarchy@lemmy.ca is under new management. It's a really positive and interesting group of posters with an interest in witchcraft, supporting women and feminism. It's picking up redfugees and definitely worth checking out.

!fediverse@piefed.social

There are two fairly active communities with almost identical topics:

Following up on this thread: https://lemm.ee/post/58774156?scrollToComments=true , which was used to announce people that we were moving (similar to https://lemmy.world/post/24312613)

Thoughts on features to boost intent for posting more?

This is the second time I have been hit with what is essentially "no you can't promote a Lemmy community here, that is against our self-promotion rules." (First was r/otomegames mods not wanting to help with a Fedi otome community or even letting me advertise outside of a Self-Promotion Sunday weekly post nobody looks at. !otomegames@ani.social for the curious. This incident is for promoting !infinitynikki@discuss.tchncs.de, and it feels especially bad because the official, non-Fedi community has official presence on freaking TikTok and posts partnered creators on Discord with Twitch streams and the like, but I can't show a little Reddit alternative for people who want to move off of it. Guess I'd have to start streaming and post exclusively to Fedi or something to get up. Pisses me off.)

I've organized consolidation, before there were two semi-active ones, on Lemmy.world and on Fedia.io , so I talked with the mods and they have agreed to consolidate. If you're interested in customizing your Firefox you can join it at !FirefoxCSS@fedia.io

Didn't think about it before, but saw this thread: https://lemmy.world/post/26747873

I was looking around, and realised we don't have a single functioning equivalent to r/PhotoshopBattles. On a quick search:

Searching lemmyverse.net yields the following:

I mod and post at !hardware@lemmy.world.

Searching lemmyverse.net yields the following:

Writing prompts has consolidated from lemmy.world to literature.cafe!
