This got flagged as “erotic content”

How it looks on my end from Lemmy

It’s only weird because the text is copied to the title and body, revealing weirdness with the links

I think it uses the tweet content as both the post title and body when Lemmy tries to display masto tweets. Maybe the title should just be “Mastodon post from @username” tbh

this is what i am thinking always

Is there some barrier to stop Lemmy from handling community migration the way Mastodon does? On masto, you can send a signal to all your followers which automatically unfollows them and refollows them to your new account. Instance migration is so easy there. I’m pretty sure following a Mastodon user and subscribing to a Lemmy community are similar under the hood so I wonder why similar behavior couldnt be put in for Lemmy

users can move between them freely

but… they really cant though can they? atm, every community on beehaw just lost a massive chunk of their userbase, and they can’t even move to a diff instance. Masto allows you to automatically move your followers to a new account on a new instance, but there just isn’t that option on Lemmy

Ah yes, the c

You can copy the link to the other community in full (something like instance.url/c/community_name) and go back to your community and go into the search menu. Paste the link in and you’ll see the community in the search results. Click that link and you can subscribe

Never moderated anything before, how much of a time commitment is it usually?

Fit that you can’t look at for too long

Got it thanks guys

You can but it might be a little unstable. Post from mastodon and mention @community@instance.url to make a post

I’m mad at Reddit so I’m going to create my own reddit that works the exact same way. You can post, make subreddits, like and comment, everything. The only problem is I only have a userbase of 10 people. There’s kind of a catch 22 with maintaining a userbase on social media: if I don’t have enough users, no one will want to join, so I’ll have even fewer users.

One thing that can help is the fact that you have your own separate reddit clone that also has 10 users. We can work together and make our websites compatible with each other and speak the same language. Now my users can see your subreddits and posts and interact with your users like there’s nothing separating them. A community emerges of 20 people that transcends the boundaries of the individual websites.

Now say we take our code, call it Lemmy, and post it for free on the internet so anyone can copy it and make their own reddit clone to add to the network. These are all separate websites, called instances, but since they speak the same language (ActivityPub), all the users can interact with each other.

Yeah it works now! Posting from jerboa

Which makes sense, I imagine if I was shadow banned i would realize pretty quick. But it’s not easy to have a bot realize they are shadow banned

That’s the one I used, I just got the name wrong. It still crashes for me

I’m seeing a lot of people having issues with accidentally getting bounced to the wrong instance. I have a friend who got confused and gave up on fedi I think because of the confusion from this same issue.

Using a client does help though
