Not sure if you are new here, but those communities might interest you

• !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

• !communitypromo@lemmy.ca
• !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Makes sense!

Still no !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Yeah, that’s definitely a shame. Let’s see how it goes, but I’m about to create a !usdefaultism somewhere just to list those occurrences

moderation sucks across the vast majority of Lemmy

Moderation isn’t ideal, but absent moderators aren’t going to moderate even with the best tools

Welcome!

!AskUSA@discuss.online

!luigimangione@lemmy.world is literally hosted there

Thought process about discuss.online and sopuli as recommendations

There is no ideal generalist instance. If you open the top 20 instances (https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/)

• Lemmy.world is too big
• Lemm.ee is federated with hexbear and lemmygrad, something that is not very welcoming to new users (see this thread: https://sh.itjust.works/post/28798607/15305964 )
• sh.itjust.works names contains “shit”, which can deter users: https://feddit.org/post/4255611/2825351
• lemmy.ca is Canadian-centric
• feddit.org, is German-centric (sidebar in German first, Matrix chat is in German, meta community is in German)
• dbzer0 federates hexbear
• programming.dev is topic-centric
• blahaj is queer-focused
• discuss.tchncs.de has a difficult name
• lemmy.sdf.org does not defederate anyone
• lemmy.zip is federated with hexbear and lemmygrad
• beehaw is way outdated
• infosec.pub is topic-centric
• aussie.zone is country-centric
• midwest.social is region-centric

I ended up with discuss.online and sopuli.xyz as they have

• neutral names
• long running history
• good downtime
• active admins
• defederate hexbear and lemmygrad

If people have other suggestions, feel free

Yeah 😔

Could you maybe edit your comment to something like

"Lemmy has 42k monthly active users

• https://discuss.online/ if you want a server located in the USA (content is still accessible from any server, the most difference latency)
• https://sopuli.xyz/ if you want a server located in the EU
• https://vger.app/ if you want an app

Feel free if you have any questions"

join-lemmy isn’t the best for user onboarding: https://lemmy.world/post/24220536?scrollToComments=true

Welcome! !newcommunities@lemmy.world can help to find communities

We broke the bot @andrew_s@piefed.social

I just had a look, seems like Alexandrite isn’t up to date with the Lemmy settings. Here is what you can define on Lemmy default UI:

Fair assessment

Personally, I want the duality of seeing every post and every vote where I’m a mod, but I want to drop all negative votes entirely everywhere else,

Have you tried using an alt to mod? That way you can have different settings on each account. Well, you would also need an account on another instance than LW, settings to display only upvotes appeared in 0.19.4 IIRC

It’s weekly average IIRC

Then you were right 🙂

Nice comment

part of us growing as a platform.

Unfortunately, we’re not even growing
