  • “generalist”

    Something that is not linked to a country, a theme or a demographic

    Not sure what you meant with "not punching nazis"

  • Makes me think (or hope) that there’s a lot of people like me wishing there was more activity in these areas.

    If you have a topic you would like to talk about, feel free to post about it in !fedigrow@lemm.ee. Not sure we have enough people for Sonic, but we can try.

  • The fact that they (or you) complain about the “All” timeline having the same stuff in all servers shows they have no idea what they’re talking about: that’s the entire point of an All feed! (plusminus stuff like defederation). It would make more sense to compare the Local feed of instances, IMO.

    The complaint is not about the All timeline being the same everywhere. The complaint is that most of the All feed is US politics, a topic which is already massively dominant on Reddit. Some people are looking at alternatives because they want to avoid that. If it's the same, why bother changing and not stay on Reddit?

    I don’t understand why is that not the default for guests / visitors.

    Good point, could be something that could be change by admins.

    The people who came first came for very specific reasons and have particulars to talk about.

    Well, that's not the case for everyone. A lot of people came here because they wanted third party apps on Reddit.

  • Each approach work, as long as you feel comfortable with it!

  • On that regard, Beehaw have probably the most solid experience. Too bad that they kind of don't want to update Lemmy anymore.

  • I mean, I know you're the !otomegames@ani.social expert, so I guess over time people still get to know each other.

    For me it's also a way for people to quickly check if it's actually me or someone trying to impersonate me (probably won't ever happen, but you never know)

  • To give a counterpoint, the experience on LW in summer 2023 was horrible, due to the constant DDoS attacks on the infrastructure.

    Discuss.online has a status page: https://status.discuss.online/

    Sopuli.xyz is very stable, and transparent about how they operate: https://sopuli.xyz/post/13531

    A few other instances have status pages:

  • give admins a default block list of users.

    Usually obvious trolls are banned on their instance, so for everyone. There is also synchronization between admins to ban people on instances that admins can't be contacted

  • Sorry to hear. How are the NFL communities doing on Lemmy in general? I'm a bit active on !football@lemmy.world (the other one), it's moderately active but still niche.

  • Happy to help!

  • I usually post only from one, the other I keep only to deal with reports

  • It's human nature. Mods can help with that, so it's also community dependent.

  • And I make sure to keep the name and avatar consistent, so you never see me using one of my alts pretending to be another user agreeing with my main

  • I add my alts in my bio to be transparent. Not sure if that helps that much.

    In the context of the bans on !world@lemmy.world and !politics@lemmy.world, can someone explain why some LW mods refuse to admit that the USA are Israel's military providers?
