If an instance is not willing to work on these issues, other instances can opt to defederate the offending instance.

Do you have any recommendations regarding the AI tools? Technical experience should be sufficient to run and configure tools when provided. Would be nice if there was a tool to sharpen a face based on other source pictures provided.
Are you using an app or the browser to access lemmy?
You are right, all these other problems are also really bad. A lot of stuff is happening at the same time. It's hard for me to read about all the shit that is going down and not be able to do anything impactful against these things.
If I find duplicate communities, I just subscribe to all of them. Maybe recheck after some time and look through the activity and unsub then.
Lemmy is still young and at an early development stage. With the huge number of new users and content generated the code is being pushed to it's limits and bugs are popping up.
But this influx of users brings also new people to help out with the development.
For me it's not about changing other peoples minds, it's more about creating a viable alternative to reddit for the right people.
Reddit should deal with hateful people and those who are unwilling to challenge themselves to look over the edge.
For me this looks like the transition of RedHat from an engineering lead company to a MBA lead company is transitioning.
Some more stuff you can do:
You can subscribe to a community on a different lemmy instance, this community will then be mirrored to your local instance for you to view. The comments will be distributed the same way.
I sort by new mostly and if I find something interesting I write a comment trying to startup some conversations. The more people do this, the faster the community will grow.
I don’t think the advertisement model will work for Lemmy. And it shouldn’t, I’m more than happy to donate to cover running costs. With advertising you just invite google and other players in.
I'll try that one out. If it works well enough I'm willing to pay.
