  • Yes, I want my niche communities back.

  • hexbear.net is on sale for auction

    Jump
  • I wonder if the high bids will actually go through or if it's just trolling. Definitely weird to give such big amounts of money away for a joke outside the space where it's needed.

  • I meant to ask what this is about.

  • What's the lore behind this pic?

  • Same, got surprised that it's still there.

  • I'm pretty sure they don't take new requests. Saw that on sidebar some time ago.

  • I think you misunderstood but that's understandable. This is how you read it:

    tidder fo sedis owt ehT

  • Sorry for violating you ig.

  • You're overthinking it.

  • Maybe a misclick where correction after it didn't federate? Dunno.

  • Hmmmmm, what is this one about?

  • Makes me sad that it's not open source but I will try it in a moment. The link you gave me doesn't provide a download so I'm grabbing the app from github.

  • 1.) I believe that the discovery is bad and this is why I'm working on !lemmydirectory@lemmy.dbzer0.com where the goal is to index the communities for people to discover something to follow even if they weren't looking for that specifically. I plan to push a huge update to it somewhere next month.

    I think that some community (users, not mods) managed recommendation system where you recommend related communities for you to display on the sidebar would be great too. But that's just an another idea that would never see the light of the day in development. Some communities have sidebars where mods link to related communities but it's really not flexible enough to link communities to each other easily.

    2.) Missing enough people is definitely the biggest problem there because even if people knew about the communities someone still needs to populate them and ideally organically instead of it being 1-2 chronic posters.

    3.) Revisiting expectations is definitely needed but generalising communities too much is not ideal because if I want to follow one thing but not the other then I would be stuck with lots of content I don't care about. There needs to be some middle ground on that. I have a few imaginary communities on themes I enjoy and mod a few others to help out with moderation. I don't want them to be merged into one blob without a theme going on. This is also why I and the other mod refused to move our communities to !imaginary@reddthat.com which doesn't focus on our preferred niches. But depending on how post tags get implemented in lemmy I would be willing to move to your community. But my requirements would be high like being able to subscribe to only posts from a specific community with specific tags and being able to easily filter posts in community view. Also blacklisting. Basically allowing you to have things in one community but being able to interact with posts as if they were separate ones.

    4.) I also think that mod tools and community settings to protect the community and give it direction are severely lacking. For example something like this: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5360

    5.) Not being able to create your own custom feeds is also a massive problem because you can't split your feed into types like memes/news/discussions/meta etc. Low traffic communities get buried in your feed when you subscribe to them making things bad for the growth. And because everything is mixed together it makes things a bit less pleasant to browse as well. If I could use different feeds for different moods I would definitely interact with lemmy and content I like more because it would be easily available.

    And some other issues that I'm not remembering right now.

  • I love art so it's very much for me. I can see how it wouldn't seem attractive to people that aren't into that type of stuff though.

  • Even using xitter?

  • Oh, didn't realise that you were an admin there. haha

  • It's about the frequency/intensity of the experience. Why do you take the image at face value instead of using critical thinking? You're just a troll arguing in bad faith.

  • I don't think I've ever seen any other post with 2000 downvotes and -1000 overall score. Those numbers are really big. But at the same time LW has way too many users and communities on them so I can understand them not wanting to play legal games on top of that regardless of factuality. It's a free platform and changing instances is easy (as long you don't have communities to move).
