Sad to hear.

But I don’t think mods needed to involve.

I think they should to an extend, especially if the topic is Apple, being Apple to like Apple products seems like an evidence.

Then there’s the fact that any communities that are specific to peoples interests are completely empty.

Those should be locked, and redirect to more generic active communities for the time being.

Any example in mind?

There’s less than 20 mau, but I pay close to $400/mo.

Wait, what?

Boost and Sync are available here as well

If you’re not a programmer, or a linux user, or have techie interests, it’s not the platform for you.

There is a group of people who created a community here because their sub got banned. They cannot be more far from linux or tech, still they do well, their community is active and they are able to discuss.

Sometimes I feel like the complexity of Lemmy is exaggerated. People ask you about it, “go to Lemm.ee, use it the same way as Reddit. And as Reddit, don’t hesitate to block political communities”

That needs to stop. Did the moderators jump in?

Good to know, thanks!

If you are interested, there is !linux@programming.dev and !opensource@programming.dev for linux and open source communities which are not on .ml nor .world

Never experienced it either

On Jerboa on the Lemmy-UI?

2.39K monthly active users

4th most active instance (https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy/ )

Hosts 10 of the 100 most active communities (https://lemmy.ca/post/26878531 )

Indeed 😄

Disabling uploads might be an option. You probably just need to announce it to the people beforehand, but I see most of the people using image links from other sites, so that might not be an issue.

Thank you!

On that topic, could limiting the posting of pictures and asking people to use external picture hosts help with that?

So perhaps we aren’t watching Reddit die. Nor we will, in the future - because Reddit is already dead. What we’re watching instead, with morbid curiosity, is a headless chicken running around, while we place some bets on when it will stop moving - so venture capital can have its dinner.

Well put

Unlike most others here I’m seeing if I can make hosting into more of a job by selling the full suite of services to communities (e.g. get your own Mastodon + Lemmy + others) or by up-selling to premium accounts. I highly doubt that it will actually make any useful amount of money but I’m curious enough to try.

FYI, there is https://communick.com/ which offers exactly that. The admin is @rglullis@communick.news

Thank you for all your posts here

That sucks

Very nice community
