Can you see the word “bitch”?

I have heard lemmy.ml blocks curse words. My account is on lemmy.world and I see no removeds.

Curate.

Block liberally. Especially block any community that is focused around hating something - even if it’s a thing that deserves scorn, the vibe will grind you down, over time, especially if there are many communities like it. Block users who are assholes, after reporting them if it’s bad enough.

Subscribe/follow/equivalent-action things you are genuinely interested in; cut out the really general categories unless you actively enjoy browsing that topic. Smaller communities are usually better, if they have enough content to be alive.

If you have any sort of hobby, try joining a space about it. If it’s too toxic, block it, but if not, it is a good place to destress and perhaps even make friends.

Curate, it can’t be overstated enough. A lot of sites don’t let you sufficiently curate your feed, and if they don’t, you should leave em.

For what it’s worth, a full 24 hours or more is more time than most reddit threads last

Now this actually looks pretty cool! They’re obviously trying to play off the increased hype around streaming services with the name and presentation, but that’s perfectly fine if it gets the public more interested in astronomy and the exploration on space. Big plus that it’s coming to Roku as well, that’ll save me some trouble.

Delete your account, hopefully.

In seriousness, probably something like “Extend” or “XPost” even though those sound awful. They might just go back to just “post”, maybe.

Found me a new channel to subscribe to, thanks mate

Bias is I was a mod, but I figure the people both technically literate enough to host an instance and that actually did leave reddit when push came to shove are the good ones, generally. Most of the shitty mods haven’t left precisely because it would mean giving up what little power they have.

Aw you’re fine, I just wanted to let whoever ran the account know. There was an instance of a bot dev deliberately not marking their account as a bot to try and make it seem natural, didn’t want you to get caught up in that - the development of an automod for lemmy will be a big step forward in moderation.

Very nice bot! If it is a bot, it should be marked as a bot account though.

I don’t think it should be forced, but I think some kind of option for “amalgamation” should be available, either user-side (multireddit-esque thing, etc.) or community-side.

It would help, but frankly I think there needs to be more - both because it would be helpful and because, up to this point, Lemmy is mostly following in Reddit’s footsteps in terms of features.

Consider a “multipost” option, on top of the existing crosspost. Multiposting something to another community would push the post as-is (no edits allowed) there, then collate all comments across all communities it had been multiposted to into one comment section displayed on all of them. The original community each comment chain originated on could be marked on the parent comment, and child comments could automatically be routed so they originate from the parent community of the chain.

Just spitballing here, but something like this would help bridge the gap a lot more than just a multireddit port.

You make good points. I think name squatting and squabbling over who is the “real” community was prevalent on Reddit, and the way it works here fixes that.

But I still think that a downside of decentralization like this is splitting the activity up, sometimes unnecessarily, and making discovery of new communities just a bit harder. It’s not a deal breaker by any means, but I think it’s an issue that will have to be addressed either by Lemmy UI updates or third parties.

For the record I don’t think what OP describes would be right. But I am certain there are better ways to mesh together disparate feeds into one and have all discussion at least be cross-referenced - something better than just crossposting. Because while

1 million users discussing a topic spread out across 1000 communities of 1000 active users leads to more vibrant and meaningful discussions on that topic

May be true, it doesn’t hold true at smaller scales; a hundred users spread out across ten communities of ten active users each is pretty much a ghost town.

It isn’t at all a new concept and I’m not sure why people coming from reddit continue to get stuck on it.

Because having communities with an identical name on different instances will fracture the community. Given the hallmarks of the fediverse this is practically intended, to my understanding, but it is bad for initial growth and coherence of posts. This happened on Reddit as well, of course it did, but the way instances are completely separate and communities can have the exact same name compounds the issue.

Probably not yet.

Reddit has over a decade of content on it, from a much bigger userbase.

This script clears your posted posts and comments, it’s not for your saved items.

There is: https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit

User interface is nonexistent, but it does the job.

To do a full scrub of everything you’ve ever posted:

1. Request your GDPR data package here: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request
2. Wait for it to arrive
3. Use shreddit to fully delete everything: https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit

This will take a long time if you’ve posted and commented a lot. This works better than PowerDeleteSuite in my experience, as PDS missed a lot of stuff that was older than a certain point.

My standard advice to anyone new or returning - check out mastercomfig if you’re experiencing any performance issues or just want to squeeze out a bit better graphics from your setup. Thing’s a godsend.
