Okay, this one made me literally laugh out loud.

Fifty-ish range I think? No more than several dozen.

What I found helped more than anything else was to switch to kbin. The sorting algorithm just seems to work WAY better over there. Lemmy was not scratching my reddit itch, but kbin is.

Yes, I am aware of the Lemmy bug with Hot sort. That's already fixed on lemm.ee. Still didn't work as well as kbin.

tips appreciated

I see what you did there

[–] JWBananas@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, so long as they are non-commercial and they stay under the usage limit (which was also increased).

The people who like it are here. The people that don't are still there. Not that complicated.

I think that message shows when a sub doesn't have active moderators?

It's not showing for me. But the sub does currently have 1 mod.

At least one of them must actively be using it. There is no way it has survived all this time otherwise.

SnapMod has this feature. You can use it with lspatch if you are not rooted.

Any chance you know more than one human language? Some projects need translators!

The CEO of an unprofitable company went to war with the thousands of unpaid workers that keep his company running. Can't explain that.

Hell no. This is the honeymoon phase. This is great!

Sure, discoverability isn't the best. There are lots of bugs. Things are confusing. Federation issues are an inconvenience.

But you know what else is missing?

The spammers aren't here. The trolls aren't here. The propagandists from the East aren't here trying to spread misinformation or sway elections. The bots aren't here manipulating the front page or comments. The corporations and marketers aren't here trying to sell products or steer discourse. There isn't CSAM or targeted harassment or doxxing. Most governments are probably not here. And it doesn't matter if He Gets Us because He's Not Here.

Everything is too new and too novel and too ephemeral to have been picked up by the people that are going to cause the "big boy" social network problems. And that's great, because the moderation tools at present would not be up to the task, and the legal teams are non-existent.

When the threadiverse crosses a certain threshold, Bad Things are going to happen. And those growing pains are going to be much worse than the ones we're experiencing right now.
