  • It's a little bit not-obvious that the top comments are from News@lemmy.world here

    Maybe they should get a header just like all the other communities do for their sets of comments?

    the comments from the other communities actually stand out more than the comments of the current community, due to the headers, without the header the comments just kinda blend in

  • It's a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds.

  • even just some margin-top would help

  • In theory I guess. But you'd need a ton of funding just to get the server power for that, and there's no guarantee that users will switch over to your service. And if Bluesky starts turning bad then they could start blocking your instance. Also the users are much more valuable than the data. There's lots of ways this could fail to pan out. The Fediverse is much more flexible to new instances joining.

  • maybe it would be simple to fork this source code and form your own community

    The network effect makes this extremely difficult, even with the source code, it's basically starting from scratch again.

  • Not the first person, but certainly the first and only chick

  • Block lemmy.ml if you don't like it

    (Actually, is lemmy.world on too old of a version to have instance blocking? They're so far behind on updates)

  • on fediverse observer, you need to switch to daily stats not monthly stats, right now it says 53,225 MAU for March 13th as the latest datapoint

    https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats

    fedidb is probably doing something similar, just showing the average for the whole month, instead of the current day

  • Yeah we don't need more posts, we need more comments, and maybe more voters too

  • well I was speaking in theory, just the idea, of course this stuff can be abused

    but imagine if they actually only used it for illegal content, like the really bad stuff

  • interesting idea actually, strengthening the crowd sourced filtering

    but downvotes don't delete posts, so you still need a real moderator

  • If a community is too specific then it won't gain traction. I think definitely keep it as general as you can, like just a graphic design community (if there isn't already one)

  • Also hashtags don't help federation at all, groups/communities will "boost" the post so it federates to all the followers

  • if an instance has no users and only communities, then it's less likely to be defederated by anyone, and easier to manage

    I do the same thing (also because I don't want to pay for tons of storage space lol) https://lemmy.mods4ever.com/communities

  • at that point why even say "the Reddit alternative called Lemmy"

    you could say "the Reddit alternative called Voyager"

  • Proxying is a separate option from caching. I think it was added in 0.19.5

  • Peertube @lemmy.ml

    Peertube incorrectly uses the Original Publication Date for the "Recently Added" list (imo)

    A Reddit post promoting the Fediverse that actually gained traction (and Reddit deleted the top comment for promoting Lemmy)
