This got flagged as "erotic content"

How much are the operating costs a month usually?

Yeah that would be best for transparency. Blocking an instance is a big deal and the decision should be held under a lot of scrutiny by the community imo so making the list easy to access is a good start

this is what i am thinking always

Ah yes, the c

Fit that you can't look at for too long

How do you fund mastodon.world? Do you collect donations?

It's gonna take a while for the chaos of everyone migrating from Reddit to die down and for the place to become useable.

Also, Lemmy seems to have the same annoying friction Masto has where it's too easy to get redirected to another instance's webpage. You suddenly can't comment, like, or basically do anything and it's not immediately obvious why.

Once again suggesting federated social media start using a centralized frontend on one single website and just let the servers themselves be federated. You would go to the same one website, ex lemmy.com and log into your chosen instance, staying logged in even if you visit another instance.

Clicking a link should first check if the link is to another lemmy instance, and if it is it should attempt to open that post while remaining in this instance.

I think if you use Lemmy (and mastodon and other fedi platforms) through a client you can avoid this issue. I use Tusky and Pinafore for mastodon, but haven't found a good one yet for lemmy

Yeah a good Lemmy client app would probably help users migrate easier. I tried the only one on the android play store (Jerboa) but it crashes immediately when I log in

I'm mad at Reddit so I'm going to create my own reddit that works the exact same way. You can post, make subreddits, like and comment, everything. The only problem is I only have a userbase of 10 people. There's kind of a catch 22 with maintaining a userbase on social media: if I don't have enough users, no one will want to join, so I'll have even fewer users.

One thing that can help is the fact that you have your own separate reddit clone that also has 10 users. We can work together and make our websites compatible with each other and speak the same language. Now my users can see your subreddits and posts and interact with your users like there's nothing separating them. A community emerges of 20 people that transcends the boundaries of the individual websites.

Now say we take our code, call it Lemmy, and post it for free on the internet so anyone can copy it and make their own reddit clone to add to the network. These are all separate websites, called instances, but since they speak the same language (ActivityPub), all the users can interact with each other.

You can but it might be a little unstable. Post from mastodon and mention @[email protected] to make a post

Got it thanks guys

Never moderated anything before, how much of a time commitment is it usually?

I think it uses the tweet content as both the post title and body when Lemmy tries to display masto tweets. Maybe the title should just be "Mastodon post from @username" tbh

Which makes sense, I imagine if I was shadow banned i would realize pretty quick. But it's not easy to have a bot realize they are shadow banned

Mlem looks great! IOS only though rip

You can copy the link to the other community in full (something like instance.url/c/community_name) and go back to your community and go into the search menu. Paste the link in and you'll see the community in the search results. Click that link and you can subscribe

How? I tried searching "@lemmy.blahaj.zone@196" in masto search but nothing came up
