Don’t apologize! It’s a good idea and I hadn’t considered it before.

That is so, so cool.

If you are thinking of doing this, I am begging you to stop and spend that time contributing to lemmy instead. 10,000 users will be a drop in the bucket for r/place, but 10,000 extra comments or posts could be the difference between the whole site surviving or not.

Getting into the habit of breaking your dreams into actionable steps and then performing those steps is the single most important skill you can learn in life. What can you do today to achieve your dream? What will you do tomorrow? One day you will stumble across something that truly captures your interest, and when you do all the practice you put in now turning your dreams into things you can do will come in handy. Dream big, but don’t stop at dreaming. Learn as much as you can about everything you might need. Your YouTube career might not make it, but any skills you pick up in video production and SEO might be helpful down the line. If your dream changes tomorrow but you learned a skill today, then it wasn’t a waste.

I’m having the same issue with my community. Things haven’t been syncing over for the past two days. Its a huge problem because the vast majority of activity is on lemmy.world or lemmy.ml, and we’re effectively defederated from both at this point.

For some ungodly reason editing a comment sometimes adds to the comment count.

There are bots that scrape content off of reddit and repost it here, so as far as actual consequences go I doubt there are any. Personally, I try to keep all of my content original, but then again I like the original places I’m trying to rebuild over here so YMMV.

Thanks for the response. To be honest, that seems a bit misguided. Seems like it adds a fair bit of complexity and performance issues in exchange for a relatively marginal benefit(hiding an IP that’s probably dynamic from a server the user chose to visit anyways).

For an example !dnd@lemmy.world has a different set of stickied posts when visiting through lemmy.world versus this instance. It’s clearly a day or so out of date.

This is a known bug that will be fixed in the next Lemmy update. In the meantime, you can fix it by changing the page number in the url to “0”.
