Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

How many of those 1.9% are bots?

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 26 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Shit, how much of the 98.1% are bots who only upvote posts that paid for it?

[–] YourPrivatHater@ani.social 5 points 4 months ago

Or steal data/scam people in DMs?

Honestly, one of the biggest reasons I was happy for Lemmy’s growth is because I wanted to get away from all of the repost bots on Reddit. It’s dumb how much content was being farmed to set up bot accounts.

its insane, especially if you visit it for your, you know, special tastes, click on a userprofile that you find uuh interesting and see them post in 3-5min intervals with completely different "outfits"

This holds fpr most of the internet. Hence why i comment so that my opinion can be over represented and thus drive more people to see it as the norm.

Great comment .... either you remain silent and hopeless ... or you give voice to your thoughts and let people know how you feel. If enough of us do the same, we are more able to share how we all feel about anything in the world.

I think thats the the primary reason i love the fediverse its the internet in its ideal the true democratisation of information and free speach.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 months ago

Because it's new and not so well established right now ... we have power and influence in how the fediverse will evolve.

If not enough of us practice speaking up ... eventually the conversations everywhere will be dominated by small groups of people

I will take your example and follow you.

First the cereal and then the milk!

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Take them down, all their ilk!

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

C'mon, everybody. Let's push it up to 100%!

[–] scott@lem.free.as 17 points 4 months ago

This is a statistic, not a guide.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

What a cool guide

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Do they vote though?

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 months ago

Printed and posted on my wall. An incredible resource!

[–] 000@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

this is hard to believe
