My youtube channel will stay as it is.

- Comment on How to remove old inactive mods from a community? 3 months ago:
Huh…ok, this is indeed weird then. I was able to remove an inactive mod from one of my own communities with that method just fine a while ago … maybe the most recent update changed (or glitched) something about the process?
Sorry I couldn’t be of more help here.
- Comment on How to remove old inactive mods from a community? 3 months ago:
Are you trying to interact with a post while looking at a list of posts in the community, or did you actually open / click on the post first? Only the latter works. The menu is sadly well-hidden and counter-intuitive.
- Comment on How to remove old inactive mods from a community? 3 months ago:
If that person has made a post or comment in that community then you can open said post / comment, click on the little 3-dot-menu, and select “remove as mod”.
This does not work on comments / posts in other communities or when the old mod simply didn’t interact. Currently it is the only option AFAIK.

Hello there ;)
There are a couple of communities that solely exist to advertise new communities, for example:

Hope that helps!
- Comment on That escalated quickly 😬 4 months ago:
Exactly this worked best for me back in the day ;) I’m German and while we have some mandatory English classes, they’re …well … not good. Blunt, boring, 1:1 translations of German sentences, and at least the teacher I had first also had a VERY thick German accent, pronouncing stuff WAY too harsh (“Zis is nott how yoo shoold zound when zpeeking inglish for forks zake!”) so other than learning a few basics, the lessons weren’t at all useful to me.
…but I’ve been an avid fan of the Zelda franchise even back then so I decided to play Ocarina of Time in English after a first German playthrough. Barely understood the dialogue at first, started to recognize certain keywords after a few days, and once I was halfway through the game my brain kinda switched to “English mode” and I actually learned words and grammar in a natural way instead of trying to force myself to understand what the hell a “singular past tense adverb” is.
Long story short, school tried to teach me how to translate German thoughts into English sentences before speaking them out loud. Games, movies, books and music taught me to THINK in English so I wouldn’t need to translate my thoughts first.
The same way I’m currently trying to learn Spanish by the way, which already works way better than any classes ever did.

How old is that data?! France and Ireland should absolutely be red as of now. And don’t get me started on Germany. Can someone please update this horribly outdated map to 2024?

- Comment on Automod telling me posts are removed but won't show which ones? 4 months ago:
You can look up your own username in the modlog: lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=1252800
The post that was removed had the title “Rule me all you want” but the links are for admins + site supporters and result in a dead end / error message if a regular user clicks on them. This is likely a safety measure to prevent people from poking around in the mod log for illegal content and hate speech.
- Comment on Chairs for the lazy 4 months ago:
Imagine being cleaning staff in that office. You accidentally drop something during your night shift. All the chairs start driving themselves across the room at 4 AM while you’re completely alone in the building.
“Heart attack” would be an understatement for the reaction I’d have.
