  • The person in question here is permanently banned from the Fediverse (effectively ban on sight for most instances) in part for spamming, but also because of maladaptive personality traits. They don't accept that and instead still wish to "help" the fediverse via providing content (news spam)

  • This seems to be dealing with the issue of finding them after the fact, rather than just automatically purging the posts. So it does help, but the best solution here is to just automate it.

  • Piefed already automatically has a toggle in its settings that can be activated. On piefed.social any account that self-deletes within 24 hours has all of its posts purged.

    This is a lemmy problem.

  • I meant searching within subreddits (communities) - using it to find new relevant communities. Piefeds community browser is great for this, allowing filtering by activity, combined with the feed system.

  • No, I just missed it. My bad.

  • Yeah, I know. That's why I think other instances should also do it lol

  • About once a week there's a post saying "Hi, I built a new reddit alternative!" there

    And it's usually just utter rubbish. Like yes, it works but it's barebones and basics. What is it they are expecting?

  • Then the question is, why is it when users come from reddit they don’t hang around? they don’t tell their friends, hey this is a place that’s awesome!

    Some do. I would argue that most social media websites sign-ups become dormant accounts very quickly. Whether its Reddit, a large Discord server, a reddit alternative etc. The retainment rate of most social media sites is and has always been quite bad. People are fickle, or not as interested as they thought, or just sign up to have a better look. I don't think there's anything special about Lemmy or Piefed here, and advertising it isn't exactly easy nor even welcome.

    Does Lemmy/Piefed have the best design? No. Is it uniquely bad? Not at all. I think Reddits is pretty poor in areas, but that doesn't seem to be an encumbrance to it.

  • It's slowly declining. I don't think it has anything to do with usability, or lack of - but simply that these platforms usually get boosted by Reddit doing a scandal rather than anything else.

  • Communities are organised by activity on Piefed, so you can see what people are using.

  • Tbh, and I plan to do this for piefed.social soon (and rimu has given me the go-ahead) - abandoned discarded communities with literally zero posts need to be purged by instances. It's just clutter.

    If a community was active and then isn't, that's fine, but a lot of communities are made and then never used.

  • You can set up keywords on piefed to filter out.

  • Piefed is much newer so the clients don't have the support they have with Lemmy.

  • It freezes a lot, the search is awful, messages just stop loading forcing a restart, verification is a joke

  • Too bad Matrix is just terrible.

    There isn't a decent Discord alternative rn

  • Apple TV currently for more 'high-tier' content.

  • Well you say that but HBO haven't exactly been firing on all cylinders lately on their own back.
