Am out of the loop on the community drama. Is there a summary?
Title pretty much. Some days ago I noticed several of the frequent posters that made this community so enjoyable and lively have left and stopped posting here, supposedly due to some behind the scenes drama....
Thinking about the direction of Beehaw
Over the years I’ve been trying to encapsulate, as simply as possible, what Beehaw interactions would look like ideally....
Sudden decrease in votes on apocalypticart@feddit.de after 0.19 upgrade (file.coffee)
This is the chart of the votes for the latest posts on !apocalypticart....
Does "Rock music is evil / of the devil" have racist roots?
As a Christian most of the circles I’m around are pretty chill…no stone-cold fundamentalists. But I have been around people (and even had family members) who are 100% convinced that rock music is evil and will lead people to engage in witchcraft and draw pentagrams all over their home....

If purchasing isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing (fosstodon.org)
I am ashamed that I hadn’t reasoned this through given all the rubbish digital services have pulled with “purchases” being lies.

Reviving !movies@lemm.ee following lemmy.film shutdown
This instance (lemmy.film) and its communities have died! (sadly!)...

What's the benefit of using Kbin over Lemmy?
I see a very small minority of people using Kbin, but I don’t understand why....
Anyone else missing posts in smaller Lemmy communities because they are overshadowed by the popular ones?
I tend to miss posts in smaller communities, no matter what sorting options I use when I display the “Subscribed” feed on the frontpage....
Downvotes = “I disagree” or “this is bad and you should feel bad”?
I think I’ve settled on the latter. Disagreement is maybe best communicated by the absence of an upvote? And downvotes work best when they signal something that is just off base, and while not reportable, is not appreciated at a broad cultural level.
What is a beautiful concept or idea that continues to blow your mind?
For me it is Cellular Automata, and more precisely the Game of Life....
How old are we here?
Just got interested in what the age breakdown is on here....
Would a "New Communities" page of some sort be helpful
Don’t exactly know the best way for this to be made. I’m guessing a special page built into the platform might actually be the best way. It’d just provide a list of all communities the instance federates with in order of ascending age....
What moderation controls do the creators or owners of lemmy communities have over their content?
I had a look through the documentation but couldn’t find anything in this. Are there any moderation powers held by community owners? How extensive are they if they exist?
While browsing lemmy, how do you view posts then go back to the feed?
While using the webview, I just navigate to a post then hit back to go to the timeline. On going back, however, the timeline reloads again and involves a somewhat annoying delay and re-rendering of the timeline page....
