Haven’t seen that behavior myself yet, but yes, that does sound like either a bug or shadowbanning.

Excuse me for not being able to help.

I’ve encountered a few times where the post or a parent comment got deleted, which also appears to hide any sub-comments.

Might that be it?

In the browser (because everyone uses a different app) click on you username and settings. Scroll down to “Languages” and unselected undetermined and any non-English languages.

This should make sure that you only see English content, even if it also removes all the undetermined (read unlabeled or mixed) content.

Thank you for the link.

Good thing that the council (and likely the parliament too) want none of the Commissions bullshit.

This isn’t the first time that the Commission proposes controversial laws that most likely will be shot down, and the Commission is already known for attempting to sway the minds of the masses using scare campaigns, but as far as I know, it’s the first time they have used such backhanded methods.

The Commission should face repercussions for such repeated and increasingly disgusting behavior.

It appears that the Flickr Commons initiative is specifically for companies and organizations, and sadly not for individuals.

I’ve been looking a little into Flickr, and it appears that there exist some similar solutions named Piwigo and Media Goblin which I’m currently checking out.

Thank you for the heads up!

What’s the pancakes to do with this? Don’t microwave plastic, just don’t. :/

I think the situation right now is more of “if Russia is to exist in 15 years, we’ll need more children now”.

He’s probably adamant to sacrificing every last Russian man before he stops.

Oh, that makes sense, and thank you for explaining it!

It’s a grand idea to make an index, not only for better exposure, but I bet it also makes it easier for FNIC communities to handle potential problems in unity - if they want to.

I apologize for making assumptions. It is most definitely a good idea to not have the whole of Lemmies Imaginary communities depend on a single persons whims. Though I’ve personally never had any beef with INE, we often see how bad such communities can end up.

It’s good to have some more pleasant art pop up in my feed, and have a proper place to link people with which I discuss art on Lemmy, so thank you for making FNIC!

I am indeed, thank you very much! :D

I’ve only been seeing scattered Imaginary communities on Lemmy so far, which I assumed were rogue communities, so I’m happy to see you guys from INE make an official FNIC here.

Thanks for the art breaks from all the chaos that’s happening here on Lemmy. Godspeed, and lemmy see you around!

Ayy, another ImaginaryX community. Aaand I’m subbed! <3

That, and the reddit repost bots who sometimes mass post content from Reddit with no interaction on Lemmy.

Now, having the same post being replicated on multiple subs was no rarity on Reddit, but they tended to use crossposting.

I’ve found the current moderation tools to be enough to deal with the latter problem, but crossposting or linking posts would be a nice feature on Lemmy, even if I’m not sure how one would properly implement that on the fediverse. So yea…

We had this question before, so let’s get right back at it!

There was a rather controversial happening at Reddit a few months ago, which caused a lot (in Lemmy terms) of users to check out Lemmy.

Some of those users left rather soon, and some more keep dropping off regularly, as they can’t seem to adapt to Lemmy, or rather live without one or another feature or content from Reddit.

Now to your question, what can we do better?

Advertisement is of course one, but a large part of the users who left Lemmy we’re likely because of Lemmies unfinished state, so maturing Lemmy should be a top priority. “But properly maturing a social site requires an already existing user base” - and that’s exactly what we have right now, even if it’s dwindling.

Other solutions might also spring from creating the better user experience, such as features to moderate properly, both on a moderator and user basis, and of course to provide sufficient high-quality content.

We can of course try and forcefully promote Lemmy while promising rich lands and green fields, but I think that this is not the optimum path for Lemmy at this time, as we just might acquire the same bad reputation that vegetarians or Linux or a lot of other good initiatives suffered from.

Go for a car from the 19th century just to be sure. They might miss a few features, such as differential, but if you’re worried about your privacy it’ll be worth it!

/j obviously.

Im pretty sure we already have a report post button. Or rather, I’ve been reporting posts lately, but I’m not sure who exactly gets notified.

Exactly! While Greenland and Iceland are geographically considered American (or half Amarican, half European for Iceland) , they are geopolitically considered European countries.

This means that a European rail, connecting all European countries, would need a rail to Greenland, which is on the other side of the Atlant.

Now, I’m not arguing against trains, they are a useful tool for the right job, but planes fill a different role (small load but high speed transport to hard-to-reach locations) that trains cannot fulfill in the same capacity. So instead of abolishing planes, we should try to force them to be more environmentally viable.

Thank you.

Right, forgot that Iceland, Greenland, and Faroe Islands are technically not part of Europe.

Edit: yes, I know that the Faroes are not on the other side of the Atlant, but they are far enough away to be annoying to build tracks to.

While a pan Atlantic railroad would be interesting, I think it would run into unique problems better solved with other technologies.

No, I meant planes or other flying vehicles that do not use fuel which is refined from oil.

Sounds good! Now just make sure to include a clause that planes below a certain (carbon emission) threshold are excluded, so it actually promotes innovation and change, and doesn’t just make it more expensive.

Yes. I wrote my masters in engineering about MLAI (before chatgpt and YOLO became popular and viable), and am also currently working with multi-object detection and tracking using MLAI.

It’s not gonna be like the invention of the modern computer, but it’s probably gonna reach about the same level as Google, or the electronic typing machine.

There was a big influx of new users from Reddit in June. Many of those probably made an account to check out Lemmy, but somehow lost interest. Lemmy user count will most likely stabilize in a month or two.
