I’m just starting with lemmy, so this may be a very basic question, but why do these numbers differ? I’ve searched for and subscribed to cats community for example. Why all the comments/reactions haven’t been synced?...
How do you block a lemmy account from your community, when they’re on an instance your mod account can’t see??? There’s someone spamming my community from k.bin, but the posts aren’t showing up on sh.itjust.works so I’m not sure how to delete the posts or even block the account. Can someone help please?
If there a way to filter other languages or something? It’s good they’re there, but seeing posts from communities that communicate entirely in a language I don’t read is basically useless and in tired of filtering eight communities per day only to make little to no difference.
Today, I tried (again) to install lemmy on my linux server. I tried in the past but the documentation was so lacking that I only encountered errors after errors just following exactly every command....
How does Lemmy deal with deletion requests for banned accounts? There does not appear to be any built in functionality to make this possible which makes compliance with the law more difficult.
Why care so much about getting people out of reddit? We should just strive to improve what we have, for ourselves, and people will come in time if they like it.
Having 100s of bots posting just drowns the actual people, and honestly I prefer a post with 5 genuine comments than 200 reposted comments, especially since the quality of those comments is debatable.
Also, why would I comment in a ghost town where I know nobody will read what I type?
Some people think that you need thousands of comments and views and posts for “success”, but I feel way better hanging around Lemmy, small as it is, than I ever felt in reddit (except in some small subreddits).
Why care so much about getting people out of reddit?
It’s a moral imperative to me. I have kids who are still little, and I hope by the time they are teenagers we don’t have an internet dominated by the likes of Instagram, TikTok and Reddit.
Having 100s of bots posting just drowns the actual people
The bots are setup to only to work in very well-defined communities, and only in communities where the mods gave me explicit approval. Is there any community that is “flooded” by the bots?
I prefer a post with 5 genuine comments than 200 reposted comments.
I don’t know about your use case, but a lot of my reddit usage consisted of following technical subreddits where the discussion is quite productive. Given that I don’t want to use reddit anymore (unless if it is to help people get out of it), it makes sense to me that have the mirrored conversation as well just to be a lurker.
especially since the quality of those comments is debatable.
You can still downvote/report.

Even if it is a bot, it has the potential to actually be taken by the real user.
Even if it is a bot and not going to be taken by the real user, it will be seen by real people who are already subscribed to the community and it will help them to overcome their “ghost town” feeling.
Even if it is a bot and the community it is not followed by a lot of other users, people that follow you will see your response anyway.
Point is: we need to start from somewhere, and it’s easier to start with a “ghost town” than with no town at all.
I’m not sure how to update properly to the new version without breaking my instance. I tried following the directions in the instructions but I’m not sure if I have to have my original ansible files when I first set up the instance or not. Can someone give me a simple step by step?
I have been posting to a community on lemmy.fmhy.ml for a while now. Someone notified me that since it’s down no one else will see my posts. I assume that only people on my instance can see them. Connect app won’t let me post there but doesn’t tell me why, and I’ve asked about that in its community. The web page lets me...
I’m unable to see the lists of posts I’ve made on desktop, mobile, and any of the mobile clients I’ve used. This goes for my accounts on both sh.itjust.works and Lemmy.world. I like seeing how my posts are doing or going back to read comments on there even if they’ve been marked as read. Could it be that it’s not...
I’m getting an error when trying to access the PC master race community on lemmy.world “couldnt_find_community”. I can’t even read my own comments on there. Strange, considering as far as I know we haven’t defederated from .world. Anybody know how I can fix this or should I message the admins?
It’s strange and unintuitive that my own submitted posts are hidden with this basic feature. Given the slow pace on some communities as Lemmy grows, it gets really repetitive without the ability to filter out read posts. On the other side though, the ability to review my posts and check back on them seems pretty basic as a...
Anyone know what happened to unilem.org? It was my main lemmy instance for several weeks, then it just went poof. It’s been down I think over a week....
In the official browser app, and any of the mobile apps that I have examined so far, it seems that you are only ever able to see the total number of likes, or dislikes that a post has, and you are not able to see exactly who upvoted, or downvoted the post. Does ActivityPub, or Lemmy track this information at all, or does it just...
This makes no sense to me. There’s people in the comments literally telling me to go kill myself and that’s fine but, me politely disagreeing is worthy of a 30 day ban.
I’m wondering if this post will even go through**. Long story short, I had to rebuild my Lemmy instance without importing the old data. I manually recreated my account (Knova@links.dartboard.social) and was able to subscribe to communities (although everything says “subscription pending”*). But it doesn’t seem like my...
I was made moderator of the /c/TrueAnon on the lemmy.ml instance a while ago, and none of my actions have ever federated to lemmy.ml, so I gave up. Thought I’d try again after this upgrade and still no dice. The response I’m getting back from the API when I try to add my lemmy.ml account to moderator status is...
