I’m not saying you shouldn’t try, and maybe I’m wrong. I’ve seen people try this on reddit and have it not work, but maybe lemmy is different. also, perhaps it depends on the community/subject matter itself?
best of luck!
Any growth that isn’t organic isn’t gonna last because it isn’t real. You can artificially inflate your participation statistics with artificial participation, but as soon as that ends, you’re going to return back to your base numbers. It’s extremely unlikely, in my opinion, that what you’re proposing would actually trigger organic growth on its own that would be of any meaningful or lasting quality.
cool, thanks!
I’d offer some suggestions re: adding search and sort, but I’m not familiar with the api (and I’m about to go to bed), but best of luck!
how tf is it missing the #2 lemmy instance but somehow has every other one? also, so search, so sort…
not to mention, there’s no link to the site here
edit: these are fixed!
good start!
it must be a lemmy.wold thing. each instance does things a little bit differently, but, hey, at least you found a shortcut with the app!
if you click this:
you get this:
this is from the community I moderate on lemmy.ml. maybe it’s different for communities on lemmy.world?
I just looked at the mod log— ew… I can see what you’re dealing with there. I suggest you just permaban them, as I doubt they’re going to change their behavior. also, keep an eye out for similar comments/commenting styles that might be indicative of alts (alt accounts).
btw, as mod, you can just ban a user right from their comments— you don’t need to report them yourself!
also, for more advice/help, you can consult the Lemmy Moderation Support room on the Lemmy Space on Matrix (link in the sidebar!)
That’s actually a really good question. I can’t answer for certain, but, sine moderation on lemmy isn’t particularly sophisticated yet, I think it’s safe to assume that you’re not going to be able to see them, even as mod, if you have them blocked personally.
if that’s the case (most likely), your most likely tow choices are to either permaban them from your community or to live with leaving the user un-blocked for moderation purposes.
one third option would be to mod your community with an alt account or appoint some other user to help out…
It’s been a while since I’ve used Ubuntu. What happened?
lemmy.world has had massive issues and a bunch of downtime for the last several days, and that might have something to do with it.
Same issue. Can’t log into my account on lemmy.ml or lemmy.world on my laptop, but I’m still logged in via my tablet, which is how I’m commenting.
Beehaw login works, tho
there’s no reason think that the lemmy.ml instance - the instance run by the lemmy API devs - is going to just disappear. it’s very likely they’ll just migrate to a different domain if they have to.
i used Atom for years until they suddenly stopped development. Pulsar is a fork of that project.
i use it for low-level code editing like bash scripts, js, and markdown document editing. some json and html.
I’ve used Photoshop for 30 years and have never - not once - paid for it.
pay for it, HA!
But just because I have the option of running Photoshop doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to have an opinion on GiMP, lmao. Enough with the gatekeeping.
yeah, having 30 years of Photoshop experience and then being told I have to learn a whole new tool that looks and works completely differently? it took a very long time to become a master of this one tool. now I have to completely re-learn and re-master a new one?
no thanks.
not to mention that GiMP is just a pain in the ass to use.
Davinci Resolve originally ran on SGI and Sun graphic workstations, which ran IRIX and SOLARIS respectively, both System V UNIX-based OSs. It’s pretty cool that they’ve maintained *nix-based support all of these decades.
a german lizard, anyway
curious as to what they’d call it.
good job, and well done! this, of course, will require constant vigilance, not merely one single effort. hopefully, a common protocol can be developed - perhaps a set of maintenance tools for instance admins - to help manage large numbers of inactive and otherwise suspicious accounts, especially making it easier and more straightforward for those instance owners with less experience managing large user databases.
in the meantime, perhaps it would be useful to create more extensive documentation and guides for instance admins on the subject?
so… how do you like openSuSE after 3 years of fedora?
