Happy cake day!
The English for “ananas” is “pineapple”, did the English really think they grew on pine trees?
Welcome here, first time I see your instance, seems nice
Good question, and interesting answers
Also small opportunity to promote !showsandmovies@lemm.ee
Do you have examples of such bots?
Search engine discoverability is mostly on the search engines, and with the latest deal between Google and Reddit that probably won’t change in the future
There’s no way to contest modlog actions within the modlog, and the maturity of the people has been proven to be very, very questionable when they’ve been outed. It has also adopted reddit’s policy of obfuscating the moderator performing an action even though creating an alt is easier than ever and many of them already have them, which works against the supposed commitment to transparency.
!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com helps a bit with that
There also used to be a relatively active sci-fi community but then some drama happened and it died down a lot.
Interesting, is it documented somewhere?
Trying to be the change I want to see!
https://lemmyverse.net/communities allows to search for the most active communities
!europe@feddit.org is another example of community which is the established one for a topic
I do think discoverability is still a downfall of Lemmy, from both internal and external views. I want to better find /communities from inside the platform and via a search engine should my use and value of Lemmy increase. Wonder how development has gone on this front.
It’s also a governance problem as well.
If a billionaire buys LW tomorrow for a few millions because they host most of the Lemmy active communities and users, and prevent instance migration overnight, how many users are going to go through the hassle of creating new accounts from scratch, create new communities? That could kill the platform, with the LW starting to show ads and only being compatible with an enshitiffied app, so most users would probably go back to Reddit.
Also, there has been some concerning behaviour from LW mods, which know they can just go with it as people are already on their communities and are not going to move: https://lemmy.world/post/20947890?scrollToComments=true
Aside from the currently low number of users, the fact that you can have the same community in different instances means a community will never grow large enough.
Isn’t !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com an example of a community which grew large enough to become the reference?
I use “New comments” to follow up on conversations
