The main problem with NSFW content in Lemmy is that it's almost exclusively in some media format which effectively tends to put a huge strain on the system, be it technical difficulties or storage space in general.

If the lemmy platform wants to survive, NSFW content needs to be allowed but the technical difficulties will probably take a while to be fully resolved.

I remember a classmate of mine and his experience.

His mother, got his water bottle ready for school when he was like 6-7, but instead of water she filled it with raki.

The dude played football in recess and being parched after it, he picked the bottle up and swallowed 3 mouthfulls of it before realizing it was raki.

Obviously he got drunk instantly, the teachers called her and they took him to a hospital for a check-up but thankfully he was ok.

But yeah, this bottle is a trap, especially at 3AM when you don't think or see and just want gurgle water.

We need to document this and make sure everyone knows what reddit is doing.

There's been a lot of posts both here and on reddit saying that mentions of kbin and/or lemmy get deleted or the users/subs get outright banned, like /r/redditMigration, which had 2 posts and got banned for spam.

Regardless of the outcome of the strike, Reddit already has died. The users that matter won't go back. The users that stay will be media and a large pool of lurkers with no value to the community.

Reddit as we knew it, already died.

Reddit has been banning users and/or communities that redirect others to Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah the non-commercial part just destroys the entire announcement. Mods could just use a community made bot that they bought for like $5 and be done with it.

Since this will be now against the ToS, no one will be bothered to develop these tools for free, to move around.

This is a worthless post.

Additionally to guides, there 100% needs to be an FAQ section somewhere.

The amount of times I can't find [insert other instance's community here] when searching for it has been asked is both insane and expected.

Fediverse is new(for most people) and people are confused. An FAQ page would help massively as a first stepping stone when encountering issues.

These and others are why you’re finding me with you here in the fediverse.

I've been here for a week and it already feels like home!

Squabbles

Isn't this developed by one person, isn't open source and forbids NSFW in general? That is never going to go well.

Tildes

No mobile app and no ActivityPub so it's a very specialised. Additionally I don't like the UI at all and I've read this in multiple threads here as well.

Lemmy + Kbin

Both are show the same content as they are federated so it's up to who prefers what really. I prefer Lemmy, but anything is fine.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah it's confusing, honestly.

It feels like the Prince of Persia game that was announced, to me. As in, the company that made this game, made something vaguely similar and just slapped a known IP's name on it, for recognition's and marketing's sake.

They need to have a post in the community, go into the post click the 3 dots and appoint them as a mod.

Here is what it looks like.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

This is completely wrong.

You think allowing users to express their opinions is wrong contrary to gathering people of one opinion only?

I don't think there is a further point to be made in here.

 

Μιας και δεν υπάρχει κάποια ενεργή κοινότητα σχετικά με την Ελλάδα και τα νέα περι αυτής στο fediverse, είπα να κάνω την αρχή.

Ευπρόσδεκτο όλων των ειδών το περιεχόμενο αρκεί να τηρεί του κανόνες του Instance και του Community.

tl:dr at the end.

I am one of the many people that were active in Reddit but I am also one of the ones that is going to delete their Reddit account on the 12th of June and move to Lemmy(Fediverse) full time.

I have encountered a specific issue though which I am not sure how to solve.

I wanted to create the equivalent community of /r/greece here, but I can see that the /c/greece is already existent but moderated by a user that is now banned, so that community is in limbo. People recommended 2 things:

  1. Request the community in [email protected]
  2. Create a new /c/greece community in another instance.

I have encountered an issue with both of these solutions.

For the 1st solution, I created a request post 2 days ago which went unanswered(either accepted/declined) while other posts after and before mine, have been answered/resolved. I can understand there has been an increase in users and Dessalines can't administrate/moderate everything on their own but I can see that there are multiple Admins in lemmy.ml and I believe they should be doing something or step down and appoint other people there that want to do it. I have since, recreated the same request post in hopes that I can get the community and bring it to fruition.

For the 2nd solution, I had created the /c/greece community in @lemmy.world but the problem is, that by going there I cannot find any community using the search functionality. I have 2 windows open, one logged into lemmy.ml and one in lemmy.world and when searching the same term, lemmy.world brings massively fewer results for communities so even if I wanted to use my account on lemmy.world I would have to use another instance to even FIND new communities. I am not sure why the reduced number of results but I guess there is an admin setting there that allows for federation with fewer instances.

TL:DR Why is the searching for communities so vastly different between instances and how can users overcome it to discover new communities?

 

Για όποιον τύχει και δεί το παρόν post ας γράψει τι σκέφτεται, πως του φαίνεται η πλατφόρμα και οτι άλλο θέλει, μιας και φαίνεται να γίνετια μαζική έξοδος απο το reddit και θα μπορούσε να υπάρχει εδώ, στο fediverse ένα εναλλακτικό community για τους Έλληνες.

 

Being a newcomer and seeing as there is an increased amount of users migrating from reddit I wanted to see if there is one, or create a community.

I have found that the community going by country name, has only one user, one mod and that mod is flagged as banned.

Additionally, they are the sole moderator of similar communities by name as to somewhat gatekeep them, I supposed.

What is the course of action from freeing up these communities? Or is it just better to create a new one in another instance and be done with it?
