There are so many ways for mods to effectively destroy a subreddit or redirect it while remaining public.

I feel like internet users have become so lazy, stubborn, and resistant to change. I’m pretty sure it used to be easier to get people to move to new things like new forums, Xfire, Ventrillo, IRC, ICQ, AIM… people used to try new things
https://lemmyverse.net/communities
Trending communities: !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl (make sure you enable “Show bot posts” to see here)
If you’re really looking for newly created communities…
sorted by new https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=published
Lemmy’s built in communities page sorted by new /communities?listingType=All&sort=New&page=1
I guess communities should have an easy way to hide themselves from Local/All feeds
yea that sounds nasty
just don’t patent anything, other companies build a product around an unpatented idea, then you patent it and sue them? now their entire product is ruined??
this makes no sense, that would mean the optimal play is to not patent anything until someone else starts doing it
When my Lemmy instance is down (which is very rare, much more stable than Reddit), I just browse via a different instance!
this looks like the same issue https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4744
I’m not sure, you should definitely report that as a bug on the GitHub though
I think it was fixed in 0.18.5 yea, I guess there could be some system to trust other moderators from other instances but then it’s basically the same as it is now lol, where trusting==appointing moderators, really the same thing
defederation is an admin action not a moderator action, and there are much fewer admins than there are moderators, so the workload would be a concern
Doesn’t your suggestion mean that a user from a small instance or their own instance can make a bunch of garbage posts (or even illegal posts) and then a moderator from every single other instance will have to delete their posts separately? That’s a ton of repeated work, and really opens up Lemmy to abuse.
Currently, communities are created and hosted on a single instance, and are moderated by moderators on that instance.
You can be a moderator of communities on different instances, my account here on programming.dev is a moderator of communities on other instances such as lemmy.ml
yea tlnet is perfect, thank you! subscribed
TL.net would be great for esports news https://tl.net/rss/news.xml
if tl
is too short for a community name, maybe tl_net or teamliquid_net or something like that
it will be a good source to cross-post from (I wish Lemmy users used cross-posting more)
Github pull request, examples:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site/pull/347
https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site/pull/354
the instance needs at least 5 active users
yea idk, it’s maybe like a fun bonus sometimes, but it’s kinda like trying to put the square peg into the circle hole (where it doesn’t fit, unlike the famous meme video lol)
Unpopular opinion: IDK why people want perfect interop so much, I have a Mastodon account and a Lemmy account, big deal. We’ve got bigger fish to fry than this. The formats are different enough that you’re better off having separate accounts for microblogging and threadiverse.
Interop for similar platforms is a great feature, but for dissimilar platforms I don’t think it’s actually necessary just a novelty. Also I think people try to push this on new users as some big, useful, important feature, but I think it only confuses the new users.
Also I noticed most of the time when people complain about ActivityPub interop issues, it almost always ends up being Mastodon’s fault lol. Probably because they were early to the party and didn’t have to worry about interop and standards much back then. At least I hope it isn’t malicious lol.
I think probably the biggest holdup for 0.19.6 right now looks like https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4983
I subscribed to the issue so I can see its progress
This means game devs will start focusing more on better performance and optimization, right? …RIGHT?
subreddit CSS doesn’t work on new reddit? lol I had no idea
but if they scrap old.reddit then I see a nice big wave of new Lemmy users coming, and we’re much more ready for it this time
