Just for my general knowledge, when an instance bans a user, is that user just banned by the username they use? Or are they also banned by the email address they used as well? So if they tried to sign back up with the same email but a different username, they would get flagged/denied?

Also - when a community bans a user, is there like a “strike” system where like if they get banned from three communities, they get banned from the whole instance?

    The redditlist seems to be offline - taking part in the protest, I guess. So, looking at a recent archived version, we could always make sure we’ve duplicated the biggest subs, for a start. WorldNews definitely fits that bill.

    Looking at what had the most subscribers in 2014 it doesn’t look like things have changed much - gaming, news, funny, videos, science. News for nerds. Most all of those have been covered here, but I think it would be prudent to cover all the bases.

    Also, are we going to have local communities? Jeez, “communities” is a lot of typing. Subs is 5 characters. Local “comms”? Sounds like a Hawkwind song…

      Weird… your comment ended up in my post here about how lemmy deals with bans, but it seems like you were trying to reply to the other post about which subs to add to beehaw?

        I was - I’ve noticed I’ll be looking at a post, and then all of a sudden some other post is up - some bug at work. I’ll port my comment to where it belongs, thanks for the heads up.
