Semi off topic, but isn’t the subscriber count badge useless now since Lemmy fixed their reporting of that?
42·6 days agoPlenty of site to participate in and plenty to talk/post about that doesn’t involve your thing.
I comment plenty, and anything else I want to post has already been posted. I guess the only way is to start following RSS feeds to post things more quickly lol. I’m not gonna do that though.
Also the fact that they count it site-wide instead of sub-wide means if you create your own sub or use an appropriate niche sub, you’re gonna screw up your own ratio.
It’s ok to have a rule like this in case of abusers. But I’m not being abusive about it, I’m not using AI, and I’m getting many upvotes. The 10% rule is incredibly strict if applied indiscriminately.

Hi /u/Die4Ever,
Thank you for posting to /r/Games. Unfortunately, we have removed this submission per Rule 8.
Promotional Content Requirements
We have strict rules for promoting content. Posting links to your own or affiliated content are considered self-promotion. Promotion should not be the main purpose of your account, you should be an active, participating member of this community first. Violation of these rules can result in a ban either on your user or on the site or game in question. Remember that Reddit has its own advertising feature which is a much better, appropriate way to use Reddit for the purpose of advertising!
Post Compensation and Disclosure - Receiving compensation of any kind to post about something without disclosure is strictly against the rules. This includes money, Reddit Gold, or anything in between.
Account History Requirement - No more than 10% of your submissions across all of Reddit may be to any single site, profile, or channel. This is not limited to your own content: you can be in violation of the promotion rules for a site that you have no direct affiliation with. Comments usually do not factor into the 10% rule. That being said, we can take comments into account if we feel they are being used to circumvent the 10% submission restriction (such as posting a specific domain repeatedly in comments) Additionally, moderators may use their discretion when it comes to multiple sources about the same topic in relation to promotional limits.
If you have any questions or would like additional clarification on the promotion rules for /r/Games, feel free to send the mods a message about it!
This is considered an official warning. Further Rule 8 violations may result in greater consequences, up to and including an account and/or domain ban from this subreddit.
If you would like to discuss this removal, please modmail the moderators. This post was removed by a human moderator; this comment was left by a bot.
4·8 days agoI use Boost and it seems to be able to do at least most of the moderation actions needed, and it supports notifications. I think Summit, Connect, Sync, and Jerboa are also good but I haven’t used them too much.
0.19.5 has passed 0.19.4 now, with 86 vs 85
I’m surprised 0.18.4 has more instances than 0.18.5, considering 0.18.5 was the simplest update ever with just a small hotfix for federating moderation actions (which is a really important bugfix) and it didn’t have any changes to the database or configuration or dependencies
I scrolled to the bottom, saw there was 1 instance still running 0.16.6 lol, I clicked on it and saw it’s actually still active, there are recent posts there. Amazing.
Edit: all from 1 user lol no upvotes, might even be a bot.
A post will federate to every instance that has at least 1 subscriber of that community. If you want to get your communities federating to other instances and get them more popular, use this tool

Though Lemmy has funding for full-time developers.
barely, edited it to say low funding
I hope the plugin system will attract more contributors, especially since it supports a variety of languages
It’s very hard for people to accept that there are other things that may need to be worked on before their requested fix/feature. Every big project has a huge backlog of issues/feature requests, you can’t do them all in 1 day or even 1 year. Especially with low funding lol.
there was a discussion about this same post before, I’ll just copy paste my comment…
That post complains about not being able to view/manage images hosted by your instance, but v0.19.4 already fixed that last week? So that kinda disproves them saying the Lemmy developers didn’t want it to be possible. Also the post complains about the amount of storage used by caching images but that was also fixed/improved in v0.19.4
3·13 days agosomething that didn’t get mentioned but I think is nice, the Chat view has been fixed!
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1639#issuecomment-2172090390
I believe it was fixed here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2480
it even allows sorting in either direction, you can do Chat view with New or Old sort!
I think it’s just a comparison because during the Reddit Exodus people often suggested Discuit instead of Lemmy because ActivityPub is “too complicated”. So I guess this is a good demonstration that federation really is our best hope at replacing the big billionaire social media platforms.
As another point of reference vs Discuit’s 6,787 registered users, Lemmy has 1,904,195 registered users. Kbin has 66,175, and Mbin has 5,453 registered users.
yea it’s just by URL, I think currently (v0.19.4) there’s a bug where it doesn’t count bot posts
It is federated yeah, I see Lemmy posts/users/communities
I still don’t think the best solution to an under-staffed team is to try to make a competing under-staffed team. I think just contributing would be more helpful for all, especially with the plugin support coming soon to Lemmy
how long until Sublinks catches up to Lemmy?

Their other complaint about not being able to view a list of users, there’s an open issue for that, give it a thumbs up reaction if you think it should be prioritized (github lets you sort by them like upvotes) https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2450
