Meta community. Discuss about this lemmy instance or lemmy in general.
Our little instance is closing to 6 months of operations and it occurs to me I never really asked for some open feedback from our peeps. So I wanted to start a discussion to see your concerns and comments in general. So tell me, in the context of the divisions by zero, what bothers you, what pleases you, what would you like to see improved.
Feel free to share your thoughts about anything.
Just keep doing what you have been doing as far!
Defederate from Hexbear please <3
Nope. Go to lemmy.world
The next version of lemmy will have features so users can effectively block instances for themselves.
The communities and posts won't show up, but you can still interact with the users.
Uh no, it won't, Hexbear users and their spam will still be visible, blocking of instances only affects posts and communtities from instances. Also the blocking system in my opinion shouldn't be seen as a fallback when it comes to malicious users, unless there's an option to block interaction from users both ways. Otherwise it only caters to Snowflakes and people who 'wanna not see something they don't wike'.
I second this motion.
Just been lurking and this is my first post lol but I must say this place is great so far imo if I can say so for the short time I've been here.
I see a lot of unhappy people with the hexbear instance and I agree they have some very shit takes. I will also agree with the people who say not to defed and create a bubble, censor, etc. it is easy enough to ignore but everyone works differently. Doesn't seem like a big issue to me. Just my two cents.
While not a problem inherent to this instance in particular, the relative lack of activity in Fediverse communities makes me wish we had a way of coordinating the continued recruitment of users from relevant subreddits. I'd like to never need to visit Reddit again, but there's not that many active Fediverse communities yet, and Lemmy growth statistics haven't been great since a one time boost following the Reddit blackout.
Not sure how to convince the mutineers to abandon their ship for ours, but thanks for everything captain!
Tbh just go post about lemmy on reddit and mastodon. Best we can do is be the change and attempt to recruit them ourselves.
my only complain is I miss the option to sort by default top comments first, not popular ones. I guess that is not a dbzer0 problem, more a lemmy one :)
I would appreciate a defederation from Hexbear. I'm really tired of getting swarmed by them and having to see their invariably shit political takes. I spoke a bit about it on the thread you made on /c/anarchism, but I thought I might as well speak about it again, since you asked.
besto instance
i am not confident enough to create or mod communities, not even create a post, but i wonder if we could create a thread of 'Community Organization Thread' and:
this is because i feel like we are creating communities non stop with zero planification, and maybe it would be better to post content first, see how it goes, and then create the right communities. this is just a random idea, but i think that if we organize together, we can create content in a smarter way and make better use of resources.
pd: oof that pirate is very handsome hehe
Idk i like the open discussions but like why is no one on the left seriously talking about the UAP disclosure thing i feel like its crazier then people think. if you break it down to just military and commercial air pilot safety its like a serious problem. fuck little green men why is a F22 raptor getting out manouvered and who the fuck owns thats
