Oh absolutely. I' rather time be taken to get things right tan to do a rush job. The important thing is, the needs have been acknowledged. That's a big first step. Lemmy is still new, no one is in a hurry. Thanks for all you do.

EEEEEEEEE!!!! Thank you so much! I really appreciate that you take the opportunity to get feedback and then actually listen to it.

we're all still small fries, but that's ok because the fediverse is large. We're just small apartment buildings full of people in a larger city. We're not alone and size isn't as important as community and communication.

We purged 32k unverified bot/spam accounts from our Lemmy instance this past week. We had email verification on but had missed adding CAPTCHA during initial setup. We're still fairly new. Had over 1500 accounts "apply" within a 2 minute span. My admin email was flooded. It was ridiculous.

They're gone now, but we're staying vigilant.

Ah yeah, that makes sense.

Yeah, not sure I want ALL of them for subscriptions, I just wanted to see what else they had in case I did want to subscribe. I'm sure it will be back up eventually and I can go check.

I think it's ok to have themed instances. People are still free to create communities on other ones, even if they're similar topics. No one is saying ALL ttrpg has to be ONLY one roof. I help admin an instance that's devoted only to sci-fi and fantasy communities (any media) but only those themes. Some of the communities we have also exist elsewhere and that's the great thing about the fediverse.

that's what I ended up doing, searching via kbin magazine search. Weird. I'd like to see the entre instance in case there are other communities not shown here.

for some reason I can't get anything to come up when I click your pathfinder link. And typing the web address in gets me a 404 error.

We have reusable nylon bags and those are nice and sturdy. My local grocer... I line up my groceries on the belt in little piles and put one bag with each pile. I would think the point was obvious. They grab the bags and just throw whatever they want into each bag. raw meats mixed with boxed goods. heavy items on my eggs. I dislike going to my local grocer because there's no self-check option. I was a cashier for a while and got a lot of compliments and praise from my customers because I bagged smartly. It's not that hard to say "oh this is a freezer item, maybe I should put it with other freezer items".

I agree. Self-check should come with a discount of some kind. For a lot of people it will absolutely feel/be unpaid labor. For me it's a way to keep control over things and I am willing for that to be the case, but a lot of people are getting shoved into self-check due to lack of paid employees and cutbacks on cashier hours. It's ridiculous.

I prefer self-checkout because cashiers don't know shit about bagging groceries in a reasonable manner. I don't like dealing with people and I like my groceries bagged to my specifications. Self-checkout is a godsend.

That said...

I have made mistakes. I've accidently stolen from WalMart. I've been an employee of WalMart; I am not crying over this. WalMart is a shit employer and they have a ton of self-check so they can continue to refuse full time jobs to cashiers so they don't have to pay benefits. Fuck them.

browsing in new I have seen a !houseplants but I'm not sure which instance it was on. It would be nice to see cozyplaces or something like it though.

This would be exactly how I listed priority of features as well.

How are you moderating communities with the app? I have zero moderation tools available when I am logged in and I am an admin on the instance.

Also I have a second account on the same instance but when I log into that one all my upvotes and subscriptions are identical to my main account. I can't do anything separately.

I love this app, the UI is nice to me and it's quick and easy to use. But I need mod tools and for accounts to actually be separate.
