Nah I think it works well. If an instance sucks, it’s easy enough to use a similar community on a different instance. If an instance dies, it’s easy enough to move the community to a different instance. We’ve seen it happen already. Way better than Reddit.

IDK, I feel like I usually get more replies here than on Reddit

This is an interesting idea, or maybe we just need people to be more willing to comment in old posts. Reddit is actively hostile to old posts, but they should work fine in Lemmy/PieFed since we have sort options like Active and New Comments. On old forums people used to continue talking in old posts forever, we could do that here no problem, the software supports it.

Comments might actually be the most valuable thing right now, even moreso than posts

The hierarchy of moderation we have here is an underrated feature

I think this could also be improved with a better search page, which shows how active the communities are in the search results so you don’t have to click through them all, I think v1.0 is getting that

They renamed to Stoat https://stt.gg/

White list? How did you build that list? How do new people get in the white list? Who controls the white list? When the white list goes away, do the racist or illegal posts return?

Just the 1 person?

I wish these un-federated things would do API calls to get the full data. I think they just recently started doing this with replies.

LGA1366? I’ve got a Xeon X5679 in mine. It was like an $80 upgrade from my i7-950 lol, and yeah no AVX

I cancelled my Dropbox subscription like over 5 years ago, with about 1TB of data in there. They’re still sending me emails saying they’re going to delete my data but they haven’t yet lol. I’m not using it but it’s funny to see they still have it all.

Apparently NodeBB has it, there was talk of getting them to work together

this is basically what Ragnarok Online did with the novice class and then you have to pick a real class when you hit job level 10 lol

but I don’t think this idea would work because people are lazy and this would be kinda confusing

if you’re onboarding family and friends, you just choose the instance for them, you say “hey, signup here: URL”

Yea, bot posts screw up our posts:comments ratio

They make a ton of posts but we don’t have enough commenters to hit all of them. What few comments they do get are spread out across different posts so there’s no back and forth conversation, engagement dies.

and seeing a bunch of posts with 0 comments or OP not responding causes users to leave Lemmy

would it still work if you remove the battery? that’d be safer

Choice of programming language rarely makes any noticeable difference in web services

It might not be a linear relationship, but could be a decent approximation if we had multiple data points

I don’t have open signups on there, it’s just for hosting communities
