What happened?

You have to make an account on other instances and then add that community while logged into other instances

Do you invite ppl ?

What about the app interstellar?

Be transparent. An honest. That’s all? You don’t need a fucking article dancing around that

Fair enough.

I know you’re not directly asking me for advice, but I guess one thing to keep in mind (Regarding why moderators are shitty sometimes)

Is that literally anyone, ANYONE, can make a community. It’s also not a paid like job or anything, (Which I know you are aware of that fact also)

So they aren’t beholden to anyone or anything regarding their ‘practices’ no accountability. So they literally don’t give a shit really. There’s no pre-screening required or emotional equity test performed in order to be an admin or a mod.

So you’re gunna come across a lot of uptight, mentally unhinged people who more then likely lack, or have zero control of their own personal lives. except for their community or instance on lemmy.

That ends up turning out with the issues you’re dealing with. They end up taking content or comments they don’t like personally. And lash out with the removing and banning with zero follow up.

They don’t even hold themselves accountable for their own actions. So of course, unfortunately, you won’t get an explanation.

If you ask me, people seriously need to chill the fuck out. Lemmy doesn’t pay your bills ok. It’s a hobby. It’s supposed to be fun

I mean my God. It’s just taken to a limit sometimes that it doesn’t even need to go in.

Anyway, take care man. Wish I could be of more help.

Have you ever thought about or would be interested in, creating communities like that, but on your main instance ? (Assuming you’re on the bigger ones that are federated with everyone)

You’d be able to be the mod obviously, and maybe that would help garner discussions about your concerns.

Do lemmy apps work with it ?

Story time

So this is back when the API thing was going on with Reddit I have been using Lemmy for almost 4 years now on and off. So I noticed all these new instances.

Anyway I went to theirs and I read their sidebar and I said you know they’re about open speech and people with differing ideas and stuff and I was like “all good cool that’s what I’m looking for.”

The I begun noticeing a lot of scantily-clad anime shit to which I blocked of course. That shit’s annoying. I am just a person who fucking hates anime altogether anyways, and that’s one of the reasons, is anime makes them look like little girls and shit.

That started to become like real consistent on their instance and I was like “Man this is annoying”

Eventually i ended up on a discussing post from what i remember it being, I forgot how I ended up on this post, but I started reading some of their comments and I was like “Wait a second? What the fuck are they talking about?”

I screenshotted what they posted (I was looking for it I can’t find it I have 3 thousand screenshots. I did try looking for it though) and posted it asking for opinions about what it was ppl on that instance were talking about, on my home instance.

I asked the community “Are these people fucking pedos!?” everybody was in agreeance and my home instance already had then blocked. Which was awesome.

I’m glad they’re gone I actually went ahead and deleted my account there when I saw that discussion they were having. I didn’t just want to leave it and never come back to it. I don’t want any association with that shit.

I deleted my account on their instance after I found all that out and you would think that the anime shit would have been a dead giveaway for me.

But I was naive. I didn’t know that the fediverse you can kind of have instances like that cuz it’s somebody’s own server.

I thought all that shit was banned on the internet altogether like even discussions about it so that was really weird for me and I wasn’t expecting that I was kind of shocked honestly.

Fucking amen to this seriously

Sup man how are you ? From what I’ve seen from you as an admin, you are a pretty decent dude. I feel like lemm.ee is one of the few how do I say this ?

‘Chill’ instances on lemmy. I think a lot of people appreciate that. I do for sure.

That said,

2 things

Can you dumb what you said down? Like way down lol I get what you are saying, but I’d understand it more throughly broken down elementary school style if u don’t mind. I think that would also maybe help the people who aren’t as technical being fediverse has a lot of moving parts.

Lastly I have a question

Im 2nd of another admin on our instance, and sometimes I’ll see removed posts or comments to which I can restore them. What is up with that ? I don’t get it.

Can other admins remove my instance stuff vise versus? And restore vise versa ?

I’d add .mls matrix chat to stay on top of what they are up to. Do not chat with them at all in the matrix room.

Only use it to watch what they are talking about.

Don’t quote me on this, bc like said, federation all that and the mod log shit is messy and ain’t no damb body gunna actually be straight with you and go “Yea I purge it so my biased fucked up banning streak won’t show. Gotta look honest not be honest remember?”

If you’re looking for the truth you’ll need to do the leg work on your own. You need to form your own opinion based on what you’re seeing after looking it up.

Anyway, go to their instance and type ‘federate mod log’ into their search. You should find some dialog about it

Google up ‘admin lemmy federate mod log’ too, should help

From what I’ve read, the whole thing is messy honestly.
