The main problem with NSFW content in Lemmy is that it's almost exclusively in some media format which effectively tends to put a huge strain on the system, be it technical difficulties or storage space in general.

If the lemmy platform wants to survive, NSFW content needs to be allowed but the technical difficulties will probably take a while to be fully resolved.

We need to document this and make sure everyone knows what reddit is doing.

There's been a lot of posts both here and on reddit saying that mentions of kbin and/or lemmy get deleted or the users/subs get outright banned, like /r/redditMigration, which had 2 posts and got banned for spam.

Regardless of the outcome of the strike, Reddit already has died. The users that matter won't go back. The users that stay will be media and a large pool of lurkers with no value to the community.

Reddit as we knew it, already died.

Reddit has been banning users and/or communities that redirect others to Lemmy.

Yeah the non-commercial part just destroys the entire announcement. Mods could just use a community made bot that they bought for like $5 and be done with it.

Since this will be now against the ToS, no one will be bothered to develop these tools for free, to move around.

This is a worthless post.

Additionally to guides, there 100% needs to be an FAQ section somewhere.

The amount of times I can't find [insert other instance's community here] when searching for it has been asked is both insane and expected.

Fediverse is new(for most people) and people are confused. An FAQ page would help massively as a first stepping stone when encountering issues.

These and others are why you’re finding me with you here in the fediverse.

I've been here for a week and it already feels like home!

Squabbles

Isn't this developed by one person, isn't open source and forbids NSFW in general? That is never going to go well.

Tildes

No mobile app and no ActivityPub so it's a very specialised. Additionally I don't like the UI at all and I've read this in multiple threads here as well.

Lemmy + Kbin

Both are show the same content as they are federated so it's up to who prefers what really. I prefer Lemmy, but anything is fine.

And in the web app, above the comment it says Show context.

This is completely wrong.

You think allowing users to express their opinions is wrong contrary to gathering people of one opinion only?

I don't think there is a further point to be made in here.

Regardless of the outcome, I hope Reddit's recent decisions turn in /r/leopardsatemyface.

mainstream media will discover Lemmy exists.

Mainstream media will 100% catch up more by the reveal of Meta's Twitter alternative that implements the ActivityPub protocol.

 

Being a newcomer and seeing as there is an increased amount of users migrating from reddit I wanted to see if there is one, or create a community.

I have found that the community going by country name, has only one user, one mod and that mod is flagged as banned.

Additionally, they are the sole moderator of similar communities by name as to somewhat gatekeep them, I supposed.

What is the course of action from freeing up these communities? Or is it just better to create a new one in another instance and be done with it?
