someguy3,

They got no money to do that.

And the details would never work. Most submissions are just links to other sites, or reposts. There's no way to differentiate actual quality content or OC. For mods, anyone can create a sub to become a mod, or appear busy by doing random nonproductive things.

someguy3,

Then they get their buddy to post bad shit so they get paid to remove it. To much room for abuse.

someguy3, (edited )

That works out to 84 full time mods (40 hours weeks). I don't believe that. Can you imagine a staff of 84 modding the whole entire site? And set up a weekend shift and that number goes down.

someguy3,

Pretty sure they have absolute control over their website.

someguy3,

Yes, but they can go in and open a sub, remove the mods, and put in new mods.

someguy3,

I think the last few years have shown us they don't actually care about actual religion.

someguy3,

That and a good default home page. Right now on "all" and "hot", all I see is two day old posts. It's ridiculous.

someguy3,

Everyone says it doesn't matter which instance you use, that "all" should be all or something. Also still doesn't make much sense to see 2 day old posts in "hot" if there's any engagement at all.

someguy3,

The problem is he defined government as the problem. There's no discussion about what good government practice is because, according to Reaganomics, all government is bad by definition.

It has stifled all discussion every since.

someguy3,

I'm curious, do you guys classically call them monsoons? It looks like it from my perspective.

someguy3,

It's not just higher education. With their voucher system they want to send kids to Christian religious schools.

someguy3,

They twist it as parents rights. I even saw a tshirt (school protestor) that said "We the parents".

someguy3,

I like your points.

Short term they need to work on the "all front page". It doesn't seem to give me popular posts from all instances, it's full of 2 to 3 to 4 day old posts that were never very popular. I have to manually go around (like to this community) to find content.

someguy3,

Email providers aren't likely to shut down. But from what I know instances may.

someguy3,

I signed up with lemmy.ca and I regret it. It doesn't load "all" content very well so I have to hunt to find content. Hopefully they will fix it.

someguy3,

It's not an instance problem, it's a Lemmy sorting/loading/ranking problem. It doesn't seem to show very well popular posts from other instances like beehaw or lemmy.ml.

someguy3,

I hope so. These mergers aren't good for the consumer.

Important to note, Muslims consider dogs unclean and generally don't like them. You're not supposed to have one unless it's a work dog, they're not the social phenomenon they are in the west. So you can see this seeping out.

Did this site live and die in 4 days?

This place has roughly 3,000 people and was intended to be an entire replacement for DaystromInstitute and StarTrek as they were going dark indefinitely. Well, within 4 days the moderators have walked back those statements and opened both subreddits up. I see no incentive for people to come to this website now and while a few...

someguy3,

I think it's pretty complicated. They need to work on the default "home" page so that it's populated and turns over. As it is now I'm seeing posts 2 to 3 to 4 days old, from small instances. Default really just needs to be the popular posts from the whole thing.

someguy3,

I picked lemmy.ca which seemed like a middle of the pack one, which was advised. But they said it didn't matter because you can see content from all. Can see it and seeing it by default seems to be different because now I have to track it down or something. This is the confusing part. Just give me a default front page. Then I can edit my own subscriptions as I learn.

What do you all think about Lemmy's website?

For me personally, so far it's mostly neat. I love the simplicity of the webpage. But there are also some bugs here and there that are a bit annoying, though this is a community effort so it's justified. Still better than New [site which shall not be named]. Some notable bugs for me include the fact that the vote counters jumps...

someguy3,

LIF. Lemmy is fun.

But iirc he said he's going squabbles.io

someguy3,

Like the sidebar? We should be able to hide it. I have an extension that does that on old.

someguy3,

Someone said that was when the head mod could just add them. The user didn't have to accept, they were just added.
