If a billionaire buys LW tomorrow
lol that is a new one.
concerning behaviour from LW mods
Would you look at that, a mod of a big community for heated discussion said or did something that people took offence to. Surely must be the instance’s fault, would not happen anywhere else.

!movies@lemm.ee is more active than !movies@lemmy.world in monthly active users.
You are doing a good job there, also with advertising the community, but I’ll say again that the world community looks more healthy to me, it’s a variety of different users posting there, while the ee one consists half of emperors and your effort to try and force this, actually it is only three topics that have been created by non moderators on the first page.

That is a software problem, I thought you guys were all computer experts.
If world wasn’t so big, it would have probably not even been noticed, now it is hopefully getting fixed with the next update, if I understood that right.
Federation works waaay better than when the big reddit influx happened, that was kinda disappointing and I’m glad Lemmy will be prepared better for the next wave.

Lemmy.world has a bunch of memes and political screeching because that’s the kind of user its admins choose to encourage.
How are the admins encouraging these users specifically? I have not noticed this, but I have been blocking most politics and meme communities for a while.
- Comment on Starting guide needs update 2 months ago:
Not starting guides, like jlai.lu it’s there but some links deep hidden. This is such an obvious user experience problem that this - in my opinion - needs to be featured prominently in the main sidebar. Almost everywhere you have to dig deep to even understand that you cannot find all the communities hosted on other instances, unless you use these tools, or have a huge instance like world so basically everything is subscribed to by somebody.
That’s why mander.xyz, lemmy.ca and aussie.zone get my gold award :)

Oh, i have missed that. Sorry! Updated my comment.
- Comment on Starting guide needs update 2 months ago:
I was lamenting that instances don’t link to community browsers / crawlers.
The link you sent has a link to this post, jlai.lu/post/541698, which has links to the wo links in the Guides (en Anglais) section to external sites, world’s getting started guide and some other, both linking to the dead browse.feddit.de link. Really hard to find, got to be really dedicated i guess :) And now the link is even dead, haha.
- Comment on Starting guide needs update 2 months ago:
Use the search and select “federated” “Communities” filter
This only finds communities that someone on that instance already subscribed to. Absolutely not feasble for small instances and niche topics.
Know about the Lemmyverse because it’s in their guides
What guides though, that’s what i mean. Or can you link me the feddit.org, slrpnk, sopuli etc guide?
- Comment on Starting guide needs update 2 months ago:
Where does it link to a community browser (scraper)? I could not find it.
- Comment on Starting guide needs update 2 months ago:
Yeah that would be a good idea maybe. Pretty dead community though.
discuss.online also features only the dead link in the “starting guide” btw.
Iwas going through instances and it is actually staggering. This is what i have collected so far:
Best practice (Link from main sidebar)
lemmy.ca (but also links to dead browse.feddit.de link) mander.xyz (but also links to dead browse.feddit.de link) aussie.zone (links to dead browse.feddit.de link only)
Tolerable practice (Link from “starting guide”)
lemm.ee (dead browse.feddit.de link but also lemmyverse) lemmy.world (dead browse.feddit.de link) sh.itjust.works (copy of world’s guide so same problem) discuss.online (dead browse.feddit.de link) jlai.lu (hides it really well on a link to an external website which only links to dead browse.feddit.de link)
Intolerable anti-fedi practice :) (no findable mention of community browsers)
lemmy.zip slrpnk.net lemmy.ml sopuli.xyz programming.dev midwest.social feddit.it feddit.org feddit.dk feddit.nu feddit.uk feddit.nl fedia.io lemmy.blahaj.zone lemmy.dbzer0.com
I find this really disappointing. How the hell are people on these instances, especially small ones even find niche communities on other instances? It’s not like lemmyverse gets discussed much anymore.

Your posts here give a cool spooky ghost story vibe 👻 boo-hoo! 🦇

How about you make a point and not be so vague? And since you claim know what rooki is “trying to hide here”, why not point it out and help us out with your secret knowledge?
- Comment on Is there an ability to block posts that link to specified sites I know I'll have no interest in seeing? 2 months ago:
What are you on about.
Also, the devs said that they only follow issues on github, not the lemmy community, rooki was on point with the original recommendation.
- Comment on Would Lemmy.World admins consider changing how the featured community spotlight, and trending communities work? 4 months ago:
I would like if there was like a set of 10 communities per month that would randomly be featured.
- Comment on Pros / cons of riding a bike? 5 months ago:
Broken collar bone, the classic.
Sorry if i came off rude, i am just so over people claiming that every kind of cycling is dangerous and all that can save you is a helmet.
I mentioned in another comment that there is a dutch study that finds the helmeted rider to be more than 25 times more likely to end up in a hospital. 25 times more likely. Obviously roadies and MTBers. I am absolutely not saying people should stop road or mountain biking, even that is not all that dangerous and practitioners don’t all end up dead or crippled sooner or later.
But if a person is just casually cycling without a helmet, they are doing much more for their safety than those sporty riders with helmets. Somehow this then always gets countered with “i know someone who fell on his head while stationary and is now being spoonfed by his loved ones. No, he didn’t have clips / clipless pedals”. Made up bullshit in 99.9% of cases, i have seen this in almost every helmet topic i have read.
- Comment on Pros / cons of riding a bike? 5 months ago:
Wear a helmet for whatever activity that you’d like one for, just don’t call people stupid and silly if they have experiences and conclusions.
- Comment on Pros / cons of riding a bike? 5 months ago:
There is also this interesting dutch study, where somehow helmeted cyclists were 25 times more likely to end up in a hospital. Of course the reason for that never comes up as something problematic from the side of our solely safety concerned citizens, they will congratulate you for your new speed record down that hill.
- Comment on Pros / cons of riding a bike? 5 months ago:
And your friends don’t get annoyed?
I hope you also posted one of those wonderful “today the helmet saved my life” topics on reddit so the community could get together for their daily service.
- Comment on Pros / cons of riding a bike? 5 months ago:
I also don’t wear a helmet when i walk down the stairs of my appartment. Is that stupid and silly too, or for some reason just fine? I don’t think riding a bicycle, which you learn at three years old, is necessarily a dangerous activity.
- Comment on Pros / cons of riding a bike? 5 months ago:
the religiosity with which people proselytize helmets is misplaced.
It’s feel very much religion like, but also an online phenomenon only. IRL the helmet discussion goes like this for me: “You don’t wear a helmet?” “No.”
The topic coming up is super rare too, while on every picture of a cyclist without a helmet on the internet you got all these comments from helmet fundamentalists going nuts over it.
- Comment on Pros / cons of riding a bike? 5 months ago:
Not really for casual cycling and commuting.
- Comment on Pros / cons of riding a bike? 5 months ago:
No it’s not. Believing the helmet is the sole saviour is stupid.

I wonder what your “call out” looked like that then actually got you temp banned from all those communities, have you laid that open anywhere too?
