Does this apply at all to Lemmy users, or is this just internal?

I’m still not sure how upvotes/downvotes are distributed regarding the different instances in the fediverse, whether unfederated instances have an impact etc....

Hi,...

There are already plenty of communities here. New communities can be created on other instances.

It’s a horrific oversight that the designers thought it would be okay for instances to block instances, but not users. Why are we cool with letting others control what we see but not ourselves? Either I block all NSFW or I’m showered with porn? I’d rather have the ability to block porn instances than have to block every...

I feel that 5 minutes was reasonable given it wouldn't be seen by too many people yet....

I've tried to sub to a few communities hosted on lemmy.world but nothing ever loads on them...

Basically there is no mod that I know of for the Mass Effect community and it has been voiced to me that folks are still pending for subscription. If anyone can put me in touch with whoever so I can maybe take the role until we get more people, I'd appreciate it. I'm on that community daily so I'd be able to mod pretty easy for...

I would have spent most of my days on reddit as a lurker, but with a smaller and fragile group of communities, we all need to be more active than we otherwise would have been for the momentum to continue....

Using a desktop web browser......

I keep having to switch to it manually, the app defaults to the "all" feed which seems to only contain this sub.

I recently migrated from lemmy.ml to lemmy.world to help with decentralizing and server load. I've noticed that a community I moderate, c/worldbuilding@lemmy.ml, is not updating: one of the mods I added isn't showing up on the sidebar, and a mod I removed is showing up. Plus, if I visit my community from lemmy.ml instead of...

So I'm part of a discussion about moderation on lemmy.ml, and it seems better to ask the community directly instead of continuing to speculate from a distance: What's the attitude here towards political debate and specifically criticism of the Chinese government? Is that allowed, or will mods delete it?

I understand that the devs want to push people to other instances and keep this a niche instance. That's understandable. However, there are already communities created here and site outages break them for us on other instances as well. I would like to know if there are plans for the future of this instance and specifically:...

Its now running on a dedicated server with 6 cores/12 threads and 32 gb ram. I hope this will be enough for the near future. Nevertheless, new users should still prefer to signup on other instances....

One thing I still don't understand is if upvotes are per instance or collective. If we had a karma system, it would be very open to abuse with instances popping up to farm....

What would happen if every single person on facebook or twitter decided to stop posting?...

Is there a way to take over a community made by a dormant user? I’d like to be a moderator of !bash but the moderator has made 2 posts and 2 comments in 3 years, with the last one being 3 years ago.

TOPIC REFERENCE: OpenAI / ChatGPT had a bug a month ago where an open source library would mix up session data and present users with session history from other users. It took them several attempts to fix it....
