I tried to make a basic design but it wasn’t very good and I got bored. Maybe this could be a jumping off point though

Huh, I never heard of ghost.org before. That’s a pretty cool project
Wow, good finds. Congratulations to those two, the real OGs. It’s amazing how I’ve been an admin here for so long and a very active user before that, yet I still regularly encounter old, active accounts that I don’t recognize at all.
Despite appearing miniscule compared to reddit’s hundreds of millions, the 50k Lemmy userbase is still kinda massive when you really think about it.
Nice, another June 7th anniversary!
FYI we are currently the most senior users that I’m aware of, besides TheDude. There must be some June 6th accounts too, but I don’t remember encountering any. Thank you for your long and distinguished service as a SJW contributor 🫡
I’m mostly thankful that we were able to retain so many users for a full year. I think we only ever peaked somewhere around 4k monthly users in the late summer, and have been maintaining around 2.5k active users for several months now. There were a bunch of people that left in the first few months but I’m glad that we still have many familiar faces who stuck around.
I expect the best is yet to come for us, but I’m already very proud of what we’ve built here. Way too many highlights to mention, but one that comes to mind was when our very own @kersploosh@sh.itjust.works singlehandedly halved the bot population on Lemmy.
PieFed! That’s the only other threadiverse project I know of.
@kersploosh@sh.itjust.works went on a campaign to find moderators and lock unmoderated communities a while back.
As far as I know, moderator seniority isn’t such a big deal on Lemmy like it is on reddit. Mainly because the admins can easily overrule the moderators anyway. I don’t think there is really any harm to leaving inactive moderator accounts on the team. All reports are sent to all moderators as well as admins, so it’s not like inactive moderators are preventing admins or other moderators from doing what they need to.
However, if you would still like to remove them as moderators, I think a reasonable standard would be 30 days without any activity or response to PM. Just PM me whichever accounts you are concerned about and I can demod them if they don’t respond in the allotted time.
It’s definitely a good idea. I’m not sure how high it is in priority when we still need to work on basic federation mechanics, but eventually I think it makes a lot of sense.
This does happen from time to time where the federation queue gets overwhelmed, usually with Lemmy.world for whatever reason. It appears that our outbound federation queue is really backed up right now.
@InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works just restarted the service so it may be working better now.
See our Matrix chat for more details.
Finally, while I’m complaining to our beloved great admins. I’ve seen that I tried to write that post in French first, but was blocked due to language setting, c’est dommage pour une instance bilingue
Woops. It appears this community was set to English as the default language. I just enabled Francais in the settings.
I haven’t run all the test by myself and just agreed to be the messenger as someone using SJW. No idea whether it’s just about setting a flag user-side, or whether it’s a very specific lemmy version which enable this discussion.
We will have to look into this. I assume you would prefer that the posts do get automatically tagged as French. Hopefully it is a setting on our side and not some type of bug.
The language settings on Lemmy generally need some work to make them more intuitive, imo. New users are often confused by them.
What? Even if they wanted to, the devs can’t control who uses Lemmy. It’s FOSS
I’m grateful for all Lemmings, but at this particular moment, mostly you.
Even as we recognize that Lemmy is a collective effort where every user can play a part, there are some roles which are more important than others. You’ve been an excellent admin for your own users, but also a unifying force for the network as a whole, neutralizing and bridging the spaces between many other Lemmy servers.
This post is the clearest example of that to date, but your contributions have always exhibited a good sense of diplomatic tact along with strong internal values and principles.
Kudos to you @sunaurus@lemm.ee.
Profile > settings > blocks
Be aware that this will only block communities of that instance from your feed. You’ll still see the users from the blocked instance posting in other communities.
Yeah they’re down to 600 MAUs. They are apparently planning to move off Lemmy to another platform. I’m not sure why
Beehaw was so worried about other instances turning into Nazi bars even as their own server was rapidly bleeding users due to excessively strict moderation and defederation.
Here’s a fun snapshot of the Lemmy network as of June 15th, 2023. Beehaw was huge in the early days.
Yeah same. Makes me feel warm inside to know that there are some sh.itheads who never got caught up in the various internet slapfights that have unfolded over the past year.
I mean forget about hexbear, OG sh.itheads will remember the exploding-heads defederation drama. I’ll never forget when these users absolutely eviscerated me regarding our “glacial” response to defederating EH.
https://sh.itjust.works/comment/512007
Your “oh maybe, I kinda guess it’s possible” attitude here is the problem. You are acting now, great, but this was an incredibly slow response, it doesn’t matter if your vote is tomorrow. It’s already incredibly, mind bogglingly slow, and you still decided to post a day long debate thread before the vote (it seems to show overwhelming support for defederation, which I consider totally unsurprising, and makes me wonder again what you’ve been waiting for).
I understand a little about why it was so glacial, but you continue to appear to not understand that this was actually a huge issue, that in that time you let the server bias towards the alt-right, showed a general support for alt right topics, and alienated an unknowable number of users in the process. Those are all the sort of users you probably wanted to keep, the ones who aren’t just content to see things go badly and will take action when they see it rather than stare like a deer in headlights. If they’re like me, they were probably posting and trying to find out the delay before leaving in disgust. They’re folks that care about having an instance that reflects their values, and you’ve let them - us - down.
That can’t be undone, but the way you keep shrugging it off as though you really don’t see it does not inspire confidence.
Even rereading it now, that one still hurts. Thanks for not turning into a bunch of Nazis, that would have been a lot of guilt for me to work through 😅
Nah, he’s talking about @SJW_Bot2. Automod functionality isn’t built into Lemmy, InEnduringGrowStrong actually created and maintains that bot to help combat spammers and trolls.
It would have been impossible to protect this instance from the recent spam wave without that bot, as you can see by scrolling through the modlog to see all the random shit it automatically removes.
I was thinking that you would need increasingly beefy motors and cables/cranes as the size of the rocks scales. But for a reservoir, you could use the same pump over a longer period of time to store much more energy. It’s also easy to utilize a body of water with a volume much greater than the volume of a vertical cylinder.
That’s a miniscule amount compared to PSH facilities, whether it’s 2 MW capacity or 2 MWh storage.
It’s a cool concept but practically seems limited to niche applications due to the small capacity. Granted it is a prototype, but it also seems intuitive that pumping large amounts of water would be more efficient than moving solid blocks of heavy material for a gravity battery design.
Nice one. I’m on it
