Call me when you get past the “first step” where Reddit controlled NFTs somehow make communities independent from Reddit.

If the mods can agree on policy, there is absolutely no reason to have two communities. Shut one down and use the other.

Edit: can someone explain to me what the difference between synchronizing two communities and subscribing to a federated community is? I mean, that’s exactly the point of federation.

No, and the difference between Beehw and Lemmy.world is why. Different people have different views about moderation and what is acceptable content.

There are two solutions to the real problem of duplicate content:

1. Multireddit - like functionality for grouping similar content.
2. Making crossposting a reference to the original post, not a copy. Mods would need to be able to block crossposts from specific communities, and remove crossposts to their sub.

People of the United States. Some take exception to calling them Americans when the entire continent is named "North America"

Those pesky facts have a liberal bias.

There is no point to linking communities- if they are going to have identical content, just pick one or the other.

A better option would be for cross posts (using the Lemmy cross post feature) to exist as a single entity that is visible in multiple communities. This would allow for some differences in moderation which is the justifiable reason for multiple communities on the same topic in the first place.

The irony that this story was posted by a bot…

Bots that don’t identify as such count towards active users. There have been a number of bot purges.

Huh, don’t know what that was about. Edited.

Somebody might be getting a nasty AWS bill at the end of the month.

Pro-tip: if you are trying to figure out if a website has a feature, try the default web interface first.

Someone mentioned there is a bug in the Hot algorithm that - if I remember correctly- judges hot based on the average upvotes for the community, so the first post of any new community is always hot.

This is a pet peeve of mine as well.

Long ago I noticed that on Star Trek, nobody wanted to tell the captain what was going on over the comms, they wanted the captain to stop what they were doing and go to a different part of the ship / station. I always eyerolled at the absurdity of the staff having so little respect for the captain’s time.

Then it started happening to me. I’m not a captain, my time isn’t that important, but have a little respect for what I’m currently engaged in? maybe?

I’ve reported pictures/gifs of accidental nudity that were posted on Reddit without any evidence of consent, and they blew me off. Not just ignored me - they took the time to say the content was fine.

Yeah, it was legal to post stuff like that - no reasonable expectation of privacy in public places and all that. But it isn’t ethical. Don’t do it. It isn’t funny.

Lemmy won, because Lemmy users numbered in the hundreds before the fiasco. The software is now growing by leaps and bounds.

Reddit may have won the battle, but not the war, and certainly not without casualties.

Lemmy died. Nothing to see here.

If you aren’t paying for it, you aren’t the consumer, you are the product. It is ok if you are cool with that, but quite a few people are not.

Hm, you are right - looks like it has gotten worse.

The bug I referenced has been confirmed to be a federation issue, so it might be related. It does seem to be intermittent when the mod is native, where it is 100% when the mod is remote.

This sounds like a known issue: moderators setting a post to featured doesn’t work properly if they are logged in to an instance other than the one the community is hosted on.
