Hello,

Someone at !movies told us that there were some issues with 4chan hate content in the chat of those sessions, is this issue known?

We could raise the issue to !fediverse , maybe someone would like to fork the project

Blaze ,
@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

Would you like to do it?

Just a post on !fediverse explaining the issue in a few lines. A link to the existing ticket. Ending with an open call for people who might be interested in forking the existing project.

Reddit is arbitrary.

Welcome here. People might be arbitrary too, but their power is limited.

Thoughts on the self promotion rules that many Reddit subs have? ( programming.dev )

Isn't this what upvotes and downvotes are for? Do they only want posts about billionaire mega corporations? 10% is a really strict cutoff for people that make things as a hobby. What else am I gonna post when everything else is already posted instantly? I can't post to r/pcgaming for the same reason....

It's crap.

I have encountered it multiple times on different subs when trying to talk about Lemmy.

It's a tactic for Reddit to avoid people hearing about alternatives, a la "there is no war in Ba-Sing-Se" (!avatar reference)

For people who were there during the Digg exodus, was it also forbidden to talk about Reddit there?

Blaze ,
@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

I did.

There is a parallel to be made between OP wanting to share their free download, and people trying to share Lemmy as a free forum.

There needs to be actual content rules. TIL worked best when the mods actually adhered to those content rules. Otherwise you just have people posting all kinds of nonsense. Quality is better than quantity

There is at least a post daily:

The community we are currently in had a 4 days gap earlier this week:

Also, feel free to post if the lack of content bothers you

Lemmy is a failed Reddit alternative

I first joined Lemmy back during the big Reddit exodus of last year. I like many others wanted an alternative to Reddit, and I thought that this might've been the one. I made two accounts, one on lemmy.world and another on sh.itjust.works, in the June of last year that I used on and off for about 4 months....

At least 3 communities thar are not "tech news, political propaganda and memes"

Feel free to contribute there, I guess it's easier to criticize than build something

Mander and SDF are great instances

Also, 73 million seems exaggerated, or that's counting the bots

There are some power tripping mods, thankfully there are only a few

@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

Are they all active ? I just opened !horror and the last post was 18 days ago

Good to know, thanks!

This list will become less and less relevant as 0.19.4 and 0.19.5 are becoming more mainstream

Blaze ,
@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

Issue with the website used to aggregate those stats.

A ticket has been open, you can find it in past post comments

Blaze ,
@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

@andrew_s, no post today?

Blaze ,
@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

Yes, that's sad.

Should we maybe raise this to !fediverse to see if someone would like to fork the existing lemmyverse code, and recreate it under another domain?

Zulip

Zulip is great, I really like there thread system, much better than Slack

Blaze ,
@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

It takes two clicks since version 0.19.3.

Lemm.ee would probably be a good fit for you. They made again their stance for defederation very clear "Why defederation is extremely rare on lemm.ee" https://lemm.ee/post/35472386

Thank you for your comment

this post on !main clarifies the next steps: https://lemmy.world/post/16420574

In summary, people are getting organized to manage the handover from the current admin to the new organization (kind of a similar process to what happened to feddit.uk some time ago)

Interesting to see that Photon links work differently!

Blaze OP ,
@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

It’s how you’re supposed to make links.

So which one, the Photon's way (I guess).

Should the Lemmy-ui change the way it creates links so that those can be used by other front-ends?

Blaze OP ,
@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

for some reason people keep making it an actual markdown link which is not what you’re supposed to do.

If my link in the OP was wrong, I just got it by clicking on the community name in the dropdown suggestion.

If that's an issue, probably something to report to lemmy ui

"Moderation tools are nonexistent on here. It also eats up storage like crazy [...] The software is downright frustrating to work with" - Can any other instance admins relate to this?

After a year online the free speech-focused instance 'Burggit' is shutting down. Among other motivations, the admins point to grievances with the Lemmy software as one of the main reasons for shutting down the instance. In a first post asking about migrating to Sharkey, one of the admins states:...

Nice suggestion

Blaze ,
@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

You could have volunteers working on the communication aspect. That doesn't have to be a paid position.

I'll let db0 suggest a better phrasing for the "we're still in beta" part

Blaze ,
@Blaze@reddthat.com avatar

I feel like people already see me around a lot, I would avoid being "overexposed" if that makes sense.

Maybe someone with less activity on Lemmy would be better for that job?

At the end of the day, it's mostly to discuss with you guys how to present things to the audience, and being more present when issues like the CSAM issues arise, potentially even switching priorities to convey the message to the community that this issue was serious and that you were aware of it.

Again, I'm not saying you guys didn't do anything, but as always, it's mostly on how to communicate in a situation rather than having a look at what was done or not.
