This is very strange, I can still see many of the posts from the community at various URLs, especially from viewing your account page. But the community itself isn’t showing any posts.
- Comment on A community for posting Cool Guides 2 weeks ago:
From what I can tell, !coolguides@lemmy.ca has a fairly rigid set of rules, with a specific distinction made between guides and infographics. That’s great, I like when moderators take an active role in curating the content of their communities.
But I would guess that !coolguides@sopuli.xyz is possibly a response to those rules. Basically if your post got removed from the lemmy.ca community because it was technically an infographic, you could post it to sopuli.xyz community instead.
That’s my understanding of the ecosystem, without having spoken to any of the people involved.
- Comment on If everyone had access to healthcare the net benefit of treating the mental illness and other disabilities holding them back would easily cover the cost of the healthcare itself. 2 weeks ago:
You’re the one making a lot of assumptions based on what was originally a shower thought. It’s a nice thought but it’s completely and utterly incorrect in reality.
My kids are real life examples demonstrating that huge investment, while good for the individuals, does not reduce the cost or burden of them to society later in their life.
This isn’t an assumption, it’s a data point that contradicts your hypothetical theory.
The fundamental flaw in your thinking is your assumption that treating mental illness and disabilities will result in the person becoming a productive member of society. This is occasionally true, but much more commonly, the treatment serves to alleviate the more severe symptoms of the condition, without actually curing or fixing the condition.
Healthcare is primarily about minimizing the damage and suffering caused by various physical and mental ailments, it can’t magically transform people into something they’re not.

Good old Tenzing Norgay 😅. Certainly ranks among the coolest of guides.
- Comment on Are there any innovative platforms in the Fediverse? 3 weeks ago:
Indeed, that’s an excellent point. Additionally, the fediverse is already an innovation in and of itself.
Yeah most fediverse projects mimic Twitter, reddit, etc. But they all add the key innovation of federation. Just by conforming to ActivityPub, each fediverse project features a key innovation in its respective niche.
I think part of the reason this doesn’t seem as impactful as it could is because federation is still very rudimentary. We are only scratching the surface of the potential that federation theoretically provides. It’s a feature/innovation that becomes more useful the larger the network grows, and the fediverse isn’t large enough yet for that to become apparent.
- Comment on Reviving !interestingasfuck@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago:
Hmm… interesting.
You should ask lemm.ee admins to make you a moderator though. Unmoderated communities are bad praxis.

- Comment on Protocol for purging inactive moderators? 3 weeks ago:
@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.

Lemmings really do be built different. You would never see this kind of raw mathematical genius on reddit
- Comment on Anyone else notice a long delay for comments/posts from lemmy.world? 1 month ago:
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.
- Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy. 1 month ago:
And feddit.it also!

Huh, that’s too bad about feddit.ch, at least they have a good alternative in feddit.de I suppose.
Good info btw 👌
- Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy. 1 month ago:
Sometimes people centralize, and sometimes they decentralize. They are both natural social behaviors.
If people naturally gravitate to the place everyone is, why are we all on Lemmy instead of reddit? Why do I have absolutely no desire to be a part of lemmy.world, where everyone else is? People are not all the same.
- Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy. 1 month ago:
I’m not from lemmy.world, I’m from sh.itjust.works. We have never banned you at all. And I understand your argument.
But it’s not our place to decide what the lemmy.world admins do with their server. It also doesn’t affect you personally at all. It’s not like they defederated your server, it only affects their users who were subscribed to that community, and they can always just make an account on another server.
- Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy. 1 month ago:
It usually is federated quickly within Lemmy itself. I can’t speak for kbin but in my experience on SJW, I typically get all the content from remote instances in real time.
- Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy. 1 month ago:
That’s just because kbin doesn’t work properly though. One reason why things are centralized is because there are only so many servers that actually work well.
Events like this removal of the piracy community will naturally cause people to spread out over time. You could even see people try to spread out on reddit by making new subs when they chafed at the rules.
The more people we have, the more diverse we will become, and thus it will be necessary to create new servers to accommodate these different types of people. That’s my instinct, but there are many different ways it could go, I can’t predict the future.
- Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy. 1 month ago:
It’s definitely not ideal to be this centralized around lemmy.world. But it’s also nearly impossible to prevent some amount of centralization, especially at our current size. With only 50k active users, we don’t have enough people to sustain activity if things were more spread out.
It’s still so early. If we get to 500k or 5M users, things will naturally get way more decentralized. A year ago, about 70-80% of the whole network was basically centralized on lemmy.ml. I dont have the exact numbers because I wasn’t here yet, but looking back at the stats there were only a few thousand active users at that time and the vast majority were on lemmy.ml
Now, only about 40% of the network is on lemmy.world (20k/50k users). I just think there are natural incentives that will continue to push us in the direction of decentralization, but we haven’t quite reached the tipping point where that starts to happen.
- Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy. 1 month ago:
Idk about ani.social but the other two are. Ani.social has a general anime discussion community that was created as a replacement for the anime community on lemmy.ml and has rapidly surpassed it in activity. You’re not allowed to link !anime@ani.social on lemmy.ml either.
Lemmy.ml admins would argue they host loli/pedo content, but ani.social would argue it’s just mainstream anime content and it’s part of the genre. I don’t really know more than that, but I think it’s a bit unfair to describe the whole ani.social server as being used for porn.
- Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy. 1 month ago:
That’s weird, I haven’t seen u/spez around here lately.
Reddit was great for at least 5-10 years, the main issue that caused everyone to leave was that it became corporatized and had to start making a profit. That can literally never happen on Lemmy, because it’s free and decentralized. So yes, Lemmy is special and insulated from corporate abuse. If you can’t understand the value of that, you may as well go back to reddit.
- Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy. 1 month ago:
Yiffit.net, ani.social, and lemmynsfw.com. Those are the main defederations that I think are a little harsh.
Aside from those, most of the other blocked instances are pretty egregious (mostly pedophilia and alt-right) and SJW has blocked many of the same ones.
The only major server with less defederation is Lemm.ee.
- Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy. 1 month ago:
You seem to be confusing Lemmy.world with Lemmy as a whole. Lemmy is free to be used for anything by anyone.
Lemmy.world is the largest and most mainstream Lemmy server, so they need to be especially careful about legal issues. If lemmy.world gets taken down due to mirroring content hosted on lemmy.dbzer0.com, the whole network would partially collapse because of how many users and communities are hosted on lemmy.world.
It’s not even close to worth the risk. This is how federation is supposed to work.
- Comment on Vote fuzzing. Are we seriously doing this here now too?? 1 month ago:
There is no vote fuzzing on Lemmy. Maybe you saw someone remove their upvote or change to a downvote, causing the score to change
- Comment on Language tag on communities with "default language" 2 months ago:
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.

My point is that your personal experience doesn’t negate the whole concept of generation jones. All the generational paradigms are based around the US anyway, it doesn’t line up perfectly with other countries.

I get that, but I just don’t have any faith that the next batch of politicians is suddenly going to be more ethical simply because they are 20 years younger.

I certainly hope so.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
No one is saying that things are the same now.
Things have been fucked up in completely different, but similarly severe ways, for all of human history.
The flipside of the internet is that we have an ability to search for and find the truth, if we have the critical thinking skills. Before the internet, knowledge was controlled by institutions. All information that you could consume was filtered through the authorities first.
It fucking pains me to my soul how profoundly naive and petty our generation appears when we start making these criticisms of previous generations. Not only do we reveal our complete ignorance of history, we reveal our lack of empathy as well, because even without understanding exactly what prior generations had to contend with, it’s not that hard to simply give them the benefit of the doubt and figure that they were more or less the same as us, given that we share the same genome.
