This is why he’ll win. Because Republicans live in an echo chamber where they think Biden is incompetent. If you look at the record he’s the best president since FDR.

Please for anyone reading, just be patient. Keep posting and commenting and it WILL grow. There are only like 1.2 million Lemmy users versus hundreds of millions of redditors.

If you follow the 90-9-1 rule, that leaves very few actual contributors and still Lemmy has a lot of good content daily. Just be patient and it will come.

I don’t think people really understand that reddit is an 18 year old product. Their original site was iterated on for 10 years before they stopped building on it.

Lemmy will get there and beyond. As the fediverse attracts more users, it will also attract more contributors. I’m starting to learn Rust myself in hopes I can contribute to the project at some point down the line.

I can’t find it now. The number that I saw was 1.09 million, but I can’t find the site I saw it on now. I think a bunch of them must be purged spam accounts maybe.

BuckRowdy , 10 months ago

Yes it was interesting finding communities banned from Reddit who seemed like they had been here awhile.

What Lemmy needs now more than anything is commenters. If the site is to succeed, it needs robust comment sections.

BuckRowdy , 10 months ago

Totally agree. Each sub top mod should submit one good post per day at a minimum.

BuckRowdy OP , 10 months ago

Yes, I’m sure.

BuckRowdy OP , 10 months ago

I was trying to but the instance was down.

BuckRowdy OP , 10 months ago

I don’t generally block anyone on social media. I don’t want to block racists and then not be able to report their racism.

Is etree.org not still up?

I remember back when you could only download one song at a time from there. But you’re right. There is an insane amount of good music there.

BuckRowdy , 10 months ago

That ain’t gonna happen.

BuckRowdy , 10 months ago

Dang you’re here too? Did you leave reddit?

Society will never progress while Fox News is allowed to remain on the air. Fox News creates digital walls to segregate the audience from reality.

Rogan should be deplatformed. We don’t have a robust enough education system for ‘free speech’ to work when people like Rogan are just lying to people.

You want to know a secret? Religious people are the worst people on earth.

Republicans change the rules if they ever see that they’ll hurt them in the future.

BuckRowdy , 10 months ago

What they want is freedom to control reality. What Republicans say, every day is not real, they don’t live in reality. What they want is not free speech, they have that more than ever. What they want is to dictate reality to the rest of us.

All conservative are bad, acab as it were.

I can’t get into calling subs “magazines”. Communities is much better.

BuckRowdy , 10 months ago

shitjustworks seems like one of the few really good instances.

BuckRowdy , 11 months ago

As more people join these kinds of things will change and evolve. Hopefully the site infrastructure will adapt to it as well.

Thank you for this post. I was hoping I could ask you a couple of questions because I also had to make some modifications to get Lemmy up and running. I don’t have email yet because my isp blocks post 25 and I haven’t gotten around to requesting an unblock yet.

I see you’ve modified your hjson file to use gmail. The default config syntax for email is:

<span style="color:#323232;">email: {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    smtp_server: "postfix:25"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    smtp_from_address: "noreply@{{ domain }}"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    tls_type: "none"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  }```
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">My question is, can I just drop in your email syntax with my information and the instance will use gmail instead of the default?
</span>

why crosspost?

I’m new to Lemmy and trying to learn how everything works. Also yeah I made everyone on r/madlads and r/politicalhumor a mod via the Mod Democracy Bot.

BuckRowdy OP , 11 months ago

On r/politicalhumor and r/madlads, the answer is yes. But you need subreddit karma to log mod actions. There is a bot running in those subs which facilitates it.

Greg Abbott is a little piss baby.

How much moderation is needing to take place?

BuckRowdy , 11 months ago

I’ve only been on Lemmy a few days but I’ve modded nearly 150 subs in my time. I’m not sure I’m ready to commit to moderating on lemmy yet, but I’m thinking about it.

When the API changes were announced, for the first time I started thinking I should leave reddit. This coin thing was just kicking me while I was down. Ok, they want to get rid of awards for a new system. But you also want to remove them from past posts?? And you’re not going to convert coin balances into anything?

Those are the things a company that has no regard for it’s users does.
