There was a discussion about the fish joke here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/46522533

The ban has been lifted since:

There are a few cases of vote manipulation: https://lemmy.world/post/29412312

When those are detected, those accounts get banned.

About the Misinformation community, I believe we both have different scopes of focus. I my community is more general, while the other community is focused on misinformation on social media.

I see. You might still want to post on the other community to see if you could join forces on one or the other.

There aren’t that many posters around, and shouting into the void gets old quite fast. https://lemmy.zip/post/14347368

A bit offtopic, but I see you started !misinfo@reddthat.com

Why not post to !fediverse_vs_disinfo@lemmy.dbzer0.com ?

Same for !euro@reddthat.com and !europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Just checking, are you aware that lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of the month? https://lemm.ee/post/65824884

No, it’s not enough. We should be encouraging to have people posting more, not less.”

Host them on your instance, then.

I gave a very specific example to illustrate where Mastodon had become more relevant than Twitter. Again: it’s not about absolute numbers.

I just checked the first two pages of https://news.ycombinator.com/

No Twitter thread, no Mastodon thread. The closest links are blog posts from Medium or Substack, or personal blogs.

There is no particular community which is thriving.

https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active_month

47 communities with more than 5k monthly active users.

It seems like that instead of focusing on the part where I am calling for more action, you decided to focus on what you perceive as criticism and you try to attack that as soon as possible.

I didn’t see a “call for more action” in that comment.

!fedigrow@lemmy.zip and !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com are communities about acting to make the platform grow.

they are by and large still on Reddit. Can you at least agree to that?

Of course they are, the same way the vast majority of microblog users are still on Twitter compared to Mastodon. That doesn’t prevent communities to thrive, as stated above.

Maybe that will push people to other instances

Looks good on https://blog.kaki87.net/post/1

I reply when I see absolutes such as “all communities on Lemmy are dead”, "all mods are bad ", “all communities are about politics”

It paints the platform in a bad light and it’s not accurate.

Don’t you think that is a little bit sad that all you can do is this mindless pontification?

Another example of absolute.

I help this platform grow by regularly posting and engaging with regular users.

Stop using absolute statements and I’ll stop replying.

There is no example of subreddit community that had successfully boycotted Reddit and transplanted here.

!fediverse@lemmy.world is much more active than /r/fediverse

First time I hear about Eevee community. Is it !Eevee@pawb.social ?

Plenty of communities survive with 5 posts per user daily

So, I have to switch to a Piefed account or run my own Piefed server?

Yes. A few options

• https://piefed.social/ - flagship instance
• https://piefed.zip/ - lemmy.zip team
• https://piefed.ca/ - lemmy.ca team
• https://feddit.online/

Does this mean that Piefed performs this aggregation in your feed when you’re browsing your subscriptions?

Yes

I will bring this to the Piefed channel.

You can’t. Piefed has a few more options regarding downvotes, that you may already be aware of

This is a full hallucination from ChatGPT.

There is no way to currently set a community to Private. The way to access settings is via a pencil icon, not a gear.

There is currently an option to limit visibility to the local instance, but that prevents anyone from another instance to participate, and does automatically grants full access to any local user.

What is possible is to only allow mods to post, but even that doesn’t limit comments, and would require every member to be a mod.

It’s explicitely female only
