Despair

I think it might just be your NSFW filter. Not sure if it was always marked as an NSFW community but it is currently.

NSFW Off - doesn’t appear in the community list

NSFW On - shows as the top community when searching for Ukraine.

It shows for me, are you accidently filtering it out because of how you’re sorting posts?

Have you checked that you haven’t blocked the person posting?

Also, those posts in the signed out view all have the English tag set, you may need to go into your settings and add English to your selected languages. Keep Undetermined selected as a fallback for when people do not set a language for their posts/comments.

Bots advertising crypto scam. If you look at the first comments they’re essentially all the same nonsense and just adding in random buzz words associated with crypto/ai.

Your subscription list is hidden when you’re currently viewing a community or a user’s profile. It should be at the bottom of your sidebar on the right if you’re on https://lemmy.world/ or whatever instance your account belongs to when using the default desktop view.

You can also use something like https://old.lemmy.world/ and your subscriptions will be in the dropdown in the upper left under “my communities”. This can be viewed even when viewing another community/user’s profile.

A little more complicated than that, if you want to go to a community hosted on your instance (in your case lemmy.ml), you would go to https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy. This is different from the Ask lemmy hosted at lemmy.world.

To navigate to this community hosted on lemmy.world from your instance, you would instead use https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy@lemmy.world <your_instance>/c/<community>@<instance_hosting_community>

Using an “!” !asklemmy@lemmy.world lets you create a clickable link for other people to a specific community.

Another link spam community:
https://lemmy.world/c/arefesdgedsh
User:

There doesn’t seem to be a way to directly report users/communities set up for spam like this.

I’m not sure if just deleting/GDPR an account is enough to get all of their comments removed.

Should have used an everlasting pill if they didn’t want to be tracked by their poop.

A lot of the comments I’ve seen promoting AI sound very similar to ones made around the time GME was relevant or cryptocurrency. Often, the conversations sounded very artificial and the person just ends up repeating buzzwords/echo chamber instead of actually demonstrating that they have an understanding of what the technology is or its limitations.

There are lots of reasons for for wanting to delete comments without wanting to delete any replies.

For example in this comment, I bring up the use of macros as a solution to fix a mouse issue. If someone brought up a point that this software was against the games TOS, I would want my comment removed as fast as possible because I view my comment as potentially harmful (and from context, it would have been obvious what the deleted comment would have contained). If there were other replies giving advice on how to solder (one of the other solutions I give), I would want those replies to remain visible to anyone else viewing the post. Some people, like me, might not have been aware that deleting a comment would remove all other replies, I’ve never seen a warning message that this would happen when deleting something.

Deleting the comment on mobile instead of editing out bad information is also a lot more likely because it’s a “one button fix”, and a lot more convenient than trying to edit the post (some apps don’t render markdown correctly, and may not display strikethrough text). With the above example, quicky deleting my comment would have been an appropriate way to remove harmful advice, and a reply warning about the use of macros and advice on how to solder would still be helpful without the context of the original comment they were replying to.

And crop out all the other scattered “fuck spez” messages?
