i would like to use #lemmy as a federated online tree with different communities forming the branches but it's hard to take seriously when the userbase turns it into reddit 2.0 with literal crossposting from r/gaming; there are even communities using the same nomenclature as their reddit counterparts ("mildlyinfuriating," "nottheonion," etc). lemmy has appropriated the cancer-culture that it was created to avoid.
i tried to make a community there and even posted interactive threads and i will continue to do so because i want to believe in the power of federated social media to form interesting online experiences, but it seems most would rather post motivational-posters-2.0 on l/retrogaming instead of participating in classics like "random thoughts .... WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?"
@buru5 oh wow nice. Hadn't seen anyone I know using it a bunch. And yeah, the reddit obsession is dumb. Same with people that repost Twitter screenshots here. Like, stoppppp 🤣
its an LEMMY instance..a #Fediverse version of #Reddit
you can answer to it from any mastodon instance you are on and participate in the discussion !😉 👍
Stworzyłem społeczność na instancji #lemmy szmer.info dla mojego regionu, czyli #wloclawek oraz całego powiatu włocławskiego. Będę tam robił częste wrzutki najważniejszych newsów z regionu, w tym także dla gmin powiatu włocławskiego, żeby wszystko było w jednym miejscu jako lepsza alternatywa dla Google News i podobnych. Jak ktoś jest zainteresowany zaobserwowaniem tego, to zapraszam: https://szmer.info/c/wloclawek
Hey everyone just FYI you can post to Kbin and Lemmy from Mastodon and other Fediverse Micro-blogging platforms by having one line of your post at the top be the title and putting a mention to the specific community's handle in your post, works best if the mention is below the title. Also you can even attach images and they will appear in the post as an image (multiple images don't work as well sadly).
You can find communities to post in on lemmyverse.net/communities
Here's an example of the format that works best, even for non-glitch instances:
<br></br>[Post title text]<br></br><br></br>*(separate title and body with blank space)<br></br><br></br>[Post body text]<br></br><br></br>[Community's handle mention]<br></br><br></br>
finally moved off beehaw and to pawb.social for my home #lemmy instance
i really like beehaw's community but i dont want it to be my home instance given they've defederated with most of the active corners of the fediverse. hopefully this gets me more active on lemmy since i'm slipping back towards reddit lol
@neatchee also as long as something is federating with lemmy.world i have ownership over my experience by subscribing to the communities i'd want anyway, so that's really all i was looking for. I didn't tend to browse /r/all on reddit, so I don't think much is lost for me here if I'm not on the same instances as most of the communities i'd be engaging with
@pixel gotcha. I definitely spent most of my time in r/all heh. I want the fire hose of whatever the fuck prior people happen to be interested in at any given moment. I mostly used Reddit for discovery rather than following specific interests
I’m pretty happy with how #moderation tools for #PieFed are coming along!
Moderators can:
delete & edit anything in community
ban people from community, and unban them.
review reports about content in that community
mark a report as resolved / ignored.
When a report is resolved or ignored, all reports regarding that content are also resolved. So if something receives 150 reports then mods won’t need to click 150 times to resolve all reports. Ignored reports stop all future reports from being accepted.
The person who created the community can appoint other moderators.
Reports federate to and from #Lemmy so if a PieFed user reports some content that came from a Lemmy instance the moderators on the Lemmy instance will be notified about the content being reported.
There’s still more to be done with federation of bans, a moderation log, etc. But it’s shaping up nicely!
So, @eatyourglory and I were discussing Lemmy and he had a good question/idea. Could Lemmy communities technically be subdomains? Like instead of Lemmy.world/c/example, it could be example.lemmy.world?
Would this be something that could be theoretically built into Lemmy or is there some kinda technological limitation, making this not a thing..? I think it's a neat idea.🤷♂️🤔
