I found this community and thought it was kinda interesting.

"Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. "

An attempt to start an index of communities on Lemmy for people to find new topics.

![email protected]

This community is intended to act an index of new and active smaller and harder to find communities. Post new communities in one of the 5 primary posts.

Anyone can post new communities, just please abide by the format in the sidebar.

You can find new daily communities with this link:

lemmy.world/communities?listingType=Local&sort=New&page=1

It's not the best tool, but it allows you to see which communities have some activity and which are just dead spuds.

EDIT: There is a need for diversification from LW as recent events show the admins have a different view of censorship than a majority of the community members. Please use this link: https://lemmyverse.net/communities to diversify subscriptions beyond the two largest instances and feel free to post them here.

I'm open to suggestions on the descriptions of the 5 primary topics - I just ran with what I thought was a good descriptor of 5 different categories.

Feel free to use your own personal subscriptions of communities to add here. The idea is that this place can be a community pasteboard.

They changed the algorithm on Dec 7, 2016.

Before: https://web.archive.org/web/20161206000344/https://www.reddit.com/

After: https://web.archive.org/web/20161208000333/https://www.reddit.com/

Best guess, based off the vote count differences of those two days, is that if you see a vote with 100,000 count, it's likely closer to 20,000 count (divide by roughly 5 or so).

There was a post about it by KeyserSosa on Dec 6, so it's not some conspiracy or anything.

I figured YSK.

Need a few additional mods to aid in occasionally removing posts or comments that violate the rules in the sidebar, mostly incivility.

“I’m not interested in anyone who is moving further away from the center,” said Cindy Bass, a Pennsylvania committee member from Philadelphia. “The center is where we have to be.”

They're not going to change a thing unless people make them.

Find your local state delegate and personally tell them how you feel a centrist is only going to guarantee another Republican victory. They are listed here: https://ballotpedia.org/Democratic_National_Committee

Bernie Sanders is working behind the scenes to get a progressive in there but he can't do it alone.

Who decides what policies the DNC chooses for their national platform? Obviously corporate donors effect the bottom line of the organization, but who are the power brokers internally at the DNC that make the decisions to create those policies that favor corporations over people?

This is their leadership team, but something tells me they're not the ones making the decisions to not advocate for Medicare for all, or other widely popular left wing policies.

I've seen a few complaints over the past few weeks about there being a lot of psuedoscience, and there has been a fair amount of reports.

I figured it would be a good idea to update the rules on the sidebar to clearly lay out what is and isn't allowed.

I think a tagging system might help to keep down on the spam and elevate real scientific sources. These are just a draft and more rules could be added in the future if they are needed.

Current draft (work in progress, add suggestions in comments):

A community to post scientific articles, news, and civil discussion.

Submission Rules:

1. All posts must be flagged with an appropriate tag and must be scientific in nature. All posts not following these guidelines will be removed.
2. All posts must be peer reviewed and published in a reputable journal, unless flagged as news or discussion. No pseudoscience.
3. No self-promotion, blogspam, videos, or memes. See list of unapproved sources below.

Comment Rules:

1. Civility to other users, be kind.
2. See rule #1.
3. Please stay on the original topic in the post. New topics should be referred to a new post/discussion thread.
4. See rule #1 again. Personal attacks, trolling, or aggression to other users will result in a ban.
5. Report incivility, trolling, or otherwise bad actors. We are human so we only see what is reported.

I'm not on 24/7 but I'll try to update these when I get a chance.
