It's confusing for new users, and this instance in particular has 7k users but no interactions. It's a bot army, with the top user being called @admin.

Extremely shady and misleading.

FYI, I'm not going to remove this post or anything (and I agree as well), but it's not likely to be seen by the right people here. /c/Sysadmin is just our community for discussing sysadmin things and I don't know how much /u/Ruud or any Lemmy devs hang out here.

You might try cross-posting it to these communities:

Of note, lemmy.ml is the server that is operated by the primary Lemmy devs.

Oh wow, I didn't realize, sorry! Thought I was in the right place. I could still remove it if you think it's for the best?

Nah, you've already got the post and some discussion going. As said, just make it easy on yourself and use the cross-post button to get it out to those communities where some Lemmy devs might get eyes on it. :)

Will do, and thanks for the heads-up :)

[email protected] is supposed to be the community for Instance/server operators to communicate.

[–] DarraignTheSane 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Right, but neither OP nor myself are Lemmy server operators.

It isn't exclusive to operators, and frankly most of them are ignoring it. They are either meeting in chat rooms or what, but they don't seem to like to gather on Lemmy itself to discuss the issues.
