Great!

A bit surprising but to be honest

[email protected] Not much going on.
@[email protected] , should this be locked and redirect to [email protected] ?

If those features are relevant to make communities grow, I don't see the issue

Also makes it easier to remember.

Dbzer0 users. Easiest way to use it for other instances as well

Be aware that the more strict your rules are, the lesser people will want to post.

It does? I remember using the autocomplete for sidebars

I use too many links to do that every time. I'll just do it on [email protected]

Feel free to report such behaviour on [email protected]

https://t.programming.dev/ allows you to add mods without them commenting first

That makes sense, thank you !

Seems like a lot of potential abuse indeed.
Just for reference, was it possible on Reddit?

I usually use the autocomplete suggestions from the Web UI which creates the markdown links.
I know it doesn't work for Mbin for instance, but I'm not going to manually type [email protected] every time

Alright, this comments already provides additional context, hopefully you all can figure out a way to handle this soon that will satisfy Blahaj's admin teams and users.

This post is "FYI only" for blahaj lemmy members. It is not a debate, and is not intended for non blahaj lemmy users to weigh in and offer opinions.
I recently received reports of a feddit.uk user espousing transphobia. Specifically, this was a feddit.uk user refusing to use the word cis, repeating the "adult human female" dog whistle, and claiming that trans women are not women. I approached a member of the feddit.uk admin team and raised my concerns and sought clarification of their stance on posts like this, where the transphobia is mostly dogwhistles, and "civil disagreement" on the validity of trans folk.
I was told by the feddit.uk admin that their preferred response is this kind of transphobia is to "sort it out through discussion and voting". However, the comments in question are currently more upvoted than downvoted, and little "sorting out" has occurred. The posts remain in place.

Lemmy as an alternative to Reddit, using European-owned server
Reposting this here as the /r/buyfromEU post has been removed: https://old.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1j0xkqa/lemmy_as_an_alternative_to_reddit_using/
Hello everyone,
This sub seems to get some traction in the last few days, which seems like a good opportunity to present Lemmy, an open-source alternative to Reddit.
What is Lemmy in one sentence?
Lemmy is an alternative to Reddit, you can visit https://phtn.app/ to have a look at the content, and install an app using https://vger.app/settings/install.
The more detailed explanation
That was the very easy version. No need to understand federation, servers, or any technical jargon. If you are still reading this, this means you are interested about how things work behind the scenes. If not, you can skip to the FAQ section.
But as we are European, the servers question should be quite familiar to us. Lemmy works like email: you use a provider to get access to the service, providers are operated by different people, but still all


Technological platforms are not neutral. If we truly want to resist the digital coup that is currently under way, we need to normalize the use of free, open source solutions.

Bugfixes
- [a84bc5db] Add community-banned indicator to vote view if
banned_from_community
is present in the API response.- [1e5bfeae] Disable actions if banned from community (all actions the API forbids if user is community banned):
- Post/comment vote buttons
- Edit post/comment
- Delete/Restore post/comment
- Report post/comment
- Moderation buttons (if a mod is banned but not removed from mod team, they'll still see mod action buttons but be unable to perform any)
- Create post, subscribe, and "community settings" buttons in /c/community and community modal
- [0216bc2a] Don't cache
getCommunity
lookup results. While nice in theory, it prevents being aware you've been banned or any changes to the community during the cache validity window with no way to automatically invalidate beyond a fixed TTL.- [d4df7d05] Don't badge-ify post and comment links. That worked well until peopl

Mlmym (also known as old.lemmy) isn't maintained anymore, and features are starting to become unusable as instances are migrating to newer versions. Would someone be interested in forking the project?

"You should create a group when demand is there and not the other way around." In other words, start from generalist communities, and create more specialized ones when there is a need. Do you agree?
Back with newsgroups the general rule was to go from general to specific. You start with a general discussion group and when discussions about video games get annoying you create a games group. If then there are too many Baldur’s Gate discussions you create BG. If they are dominated by Baldur’s Gate 3 you create a Baldur’s Gate 3 group. If everyone is fawning over Withers you create a Withers group which of course will be flooded with discussion about the Withers’ tits mod, which shall get its own group.
Meaning you should create a group when demand is there and not the other way around.
