I am but a cog in a machine. A lazy one though.

    IsoKiero kirjoittikin jo kattavan kommentin, mutta lisään vielä tuohon että selaamiskokemus paranee huomattavasti, kun blokkaat yhteisöjä joiden aiheista et pidä. Voyager-sovelluksessa voit myös filtteröidä pois avainsanoja, kuten Elon Musk, Trump, jne.

    Lisäksi oma “subscribed” lista on aika iso ja selaan lähinnä /subscribed näkymästä lemmyä ja pysyn poissa /all feedistä. Paljon parempi kokemus jos haluaa räätälöidä itselleen lemmyä.

    Bonus vinkki: olen löytänyt aika siistejä yhteisöjä katsomalla muiden käyttäjien kommentointihistoriaa.

    Edit: Bonus vinkki 2: tämä sivu on aivan mielettömän hyvä yhteisöjen löytämiseen myös: https://lemmyverse.net/communities

    Want to add to this nice comment that OP is on beehaw, which to my knowledge doesn’t allow users to create communities and tries to instead have a collection of broad subject communities. But if OP wants to create a community she can make another account on another instance to do create one and use that account + this one to moderate :)


  • Instance administration is also quite time consuming and is also based on volunteer work.

    The vast majority of content on lemmy will be inaccessible to an instance who is under complete anarchy / unmodded.

    There is the fediseer project that helps instances block such instances.

    If you spin up an LLM farm instance it’s guaranteed to be blocked in many of the big ones - making your instance a lone island.









  • True, and also it will make it feel less like “lemmy is dead” to new comers (something we have heard time and time again from people who are new to the fediverse) because they accidentally found the one community that was dead. It’s easier to point them to “our version” of a community they are looking for.

    Even in moderately popular communities the posting frequency is quite low compared to what some people are used to. For me personally I actually like the activity level of lemmy, but we need more people to account for comings and goings of users to be able to sustain communities on the long run.


  • I’ve had this discussion before and the conclusion was:

    Keep it as general as possible. Lemmy is still growing and small and a niche community looks often dead.

    Once the community becomes too big it’s easier to split the community into more specific communities.

    For example: we have quite a few communities about learning a specific language and they all seem inactive, so we are keeping a general community up (!languagelearning@sopuli.xyz) but don’t limit the content to anything specific. You can ask generally about languages, learning, or a specific language and you are more likely to get an answer from others than if you go to a language specific community.

    Once it’s too big it will be easy for an active group of people to move to, say, !japaneselanguage@sopuli.xyz or something.

    So, in short: start with a general community :)
