I looked at the logs myself, and it absolutely was power tripping. Jury nullification discussion isn't even illegal for fucks sake.

Jury nullification is one of democracies' systems of checks and balances that protects against injustice. It's also not illegal in the US to talk about as a topic for the general population.
Banning discussion about it is like banning people from talking about voting or civil disobedience. Banning discussion of it is a disservice to the public good.
The weekly post is a good idea. I'll look into maybe creating a bot for that in the future.
But it would be nice to have a resource where you can easily leave a comment saying a community doesn’t exist anymore or it moved or whatever.
Couldn't anyone just reply to the deleted community comment link with something like ?
I think most communities wind up kinda just going idle rather than deleted. The big communities have such power in numbers, it's very difficult to sustain them without a mass influx like TenForward did. A few others have succeeded.
I think this just gives a little tool to the small communities that might need it, and it could improve Lemmy overall with more interesting and active smaller communities. The top 50 communities should really be in a constant flux if Lemmy is going to improve over time. Preferably on not just LW as well...
already did :) the idea behind /c/index is just that it can be a passive tool for when people need it. I'll consider a weekly post as someone else suggested to keep it active.
Is there a site that shows the status of all the lemmy servers? I saw the graph in your link, but I don't fully understand what it means.
Seems to be mostly just a list of largest communities because it uses active users, posts, and comments as metrics. Top five are /technology /worldnews /no stupid questions /news /games all at lemmy.world
If it had option to filter newest community & scaled activity that would be neat. Lemmy needs some new communities, and the tools to allow them to grow - that's what made reddit grow and improve (until enshittification smothered it).
Is everyone 5 days behind LW? I don't quite really grasp how exactly there is a 5 day lag, shouldn't Lemmy be close to real time? I don't fully understand what's going on in those charts but it looks like the delay will be gone in a few weeks/months?
As far as hosting it on a different instance, this is just kinda a playful experiment. If it goes well anyone can copy the list and put it a version of it on their server.
I clicked 5 of the links in the lemmydirectory github/wiki list and all of them the last post was 1 year ago. That's what kinda sucks about all the indexes is that they're either the extremely popular communities which show up in the communities tab, or extremely dead communities. The goal is to get a list of extremely active smaller communities and without changing Lemmy source code myself, this is the next best thing I could think of to make a list like that.
