Yeah I think of downvotes as like micro-moderation, or crowd sourced curation. It’s generally a good feature. They can be annoying sometimes but it’s better than the alternative of bad/spam posts/comments flooding your feed.

Just grab the permalink/fedilink from the post (multi colored icon)

IDK if we’re really missing any software features, but I feel like it’s a good opportunity for a Lemmy plugin

Especially with Lemmy getting support for plugins soon, I don’t see the need for making a new platform

A new sorting method for “unanswered” is a cool idea. I’m not sure if it’s quite as simple as just finding posts with 0 comments, because people can put additional questions in the comments but it’s still unanswered. Also how do you sort them for posts with the same number of comments/answers. But this is definitely something that a plugin could handle.

I saw someone else suggested we could just put “[unanswered]” in the title and then edit the title to “[answered]”

Oh that’s really dumb

Maybe they should’ve rushed it instead of delaying it lol

Then they aren’t using it properly

Or use Cloudflare (properly)

When it comes to moderation tooling I’m honestly a little confused that there isn’t more work or noise around a developing a sideloaded tool.

Yeah we just need volunteers to dedicate their time to it. But it’s a lot easier to complain than it is to contribute.

Yeah it’s like trying to delete a torrent that you created lol, deleting stuff from the Internet is not so easy. Even websites that claim to allow you to delete stuff may still be backed up by The Wayback Machine or similar, or even just a random user who liked your post and downloaded it.

I would like improvements here, but you should probably still be careful about anything you post if you’re worried about being able to delete it, no matter what site you’re on.

@einat2346@lemmy.today actually dbzer0 doesn’t have access to your IP address, only lemmy.today sees it

for everyone else it’s the instance that your account lives on

You’re framing it as if this is a bad thing that Lemmy can only see some of the agupe content, but wait until you see how much content non federated platforms can see from each other! I really don’t see how some content is worse than none, if you really want all of it then make an account over there like every other social network in the past requires you to browse on their site/app. It’ll probably improve over time but it really sounds like you’re upset that it already sometimes works instead of not at all.

Defederation messes with this though, we need more ways to control the content without relying on defederation

It makes me feel like I should be making the post to multiple communities, but then I feel like I’m spamming

if you switch to daily stats you can see a big bump on the 4th, and a smaller bump on the 5th, is that when they made this change?

https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats

I think if you exclude those 2 days we’re still on a very very slight downward trend, but once every instance adopts the new method it’ll be interesting to see what the trend is after that, it could be that users get tired or posting/commenting and fallback to being lurkers

The term Threadiverse has nothing to do with Meta’s Threads platform, I think the term is actually older than Meta’s announcement. The Threadiverse refers to the platforms that organize things into threads similar to Reddit or forums, right now this mainly means Lemmy and Kbin

The GitHub issue is here, you could put a thumbs up reaction on it, and also subscribe to the issue to get updates about it

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2987

couldn’t a malicious instance or fork just ignore who is trying to access the data and show all the toots that have been federated at all? anything that can be retrieved by another instance is public

it’s kinda like when Steam asks for your age when looking at an M rated game

The first is that listed subscriber numbers are for your server only

For your first issue, subscriber counts will be fixed in Lemmy v0.19.0

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1440

Preview here: https://voyager.lemmy.ml/communities?listingType=All&sort=TopMonth&page=1

The second is that there are many redundant communities, which makes it difficult for onboarding new users. There should be some way to group like-communities into super-groups based on topics

Yeah this one has an issue open, you could join the discussion if you have any ideas, this is a big one

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818

Yep haha, it was just running when I made my comment. It’s the alpha testing server so it does go down sometimes.

you can try it out on https://voyager.lemmy.ml/

I made an account and subscribed to a bunch of communities on there to test out, seems pretty good

New users don’t want to be required to block 1000 accounts when they first start, that’s more friction to joining a new social network. I mean Lemmy users already get turned away by the Lemmit bot and that’s just 1 single account to block lol literally like 2 clicks.
