What do you think is the biggest issue with Lemmy?

This post did not contain any content.
The irrationality and hyper emotional state of a lot of commenters. Not saying there isn’t due cause these days* but people GET. A. GRIP. and control yourself. You aren’t helping others or yourself with that behavior. It’s super immature.
*I’m not talking about being angry. I’m talking about how do I go on living emotional responses.

Any talk of religion in a non-negative way and the pitchforks come out.

That’s what happened. It’s not the solution.
The solution is to behave with civility online and you don't get banned. No one needs to break instance rules.
If someone is incapable of doing that, why should they get to participate?
The fact that they happen to predominantly come with right wing view points is, frankly, secondary. It's literally the bare minimum amount of effort in life to simply not be a nuisance.

I think Lemmy just don’t tolerate that view point. I see plenty of hard leftism being tolerated by mods when they shouldn’t. But hey, none of them are my instance. It’s grossly lopsided.

Beehaw being defederated from LW and SJW prevents around 30% of the people on the platform of seeing that community. Have you considered maybe posting to a community on an instance that is more accessible?
I didn't even know that they were defederated, I will thanks for the info!!

wrote last edited by [email protected]The two main "hard left" instances have been defederated from LW too (hex and grad)
LML is ostensibly a general instance with a strong left wing slant. So I'm assuming those are the users you're referring to. Every time I've personally seen a LML user step over the line for a given community's rules, they have been banned for it.
Predominantly though, those users are capable of understanding rules and following them.
That's literally all anyone needs to do.
It's not really about political views. It's simply about not being an asshole.

Happy to help, let me know once you settle for a community, I can help try to post there too!

I’m definitely not seeing that on the instances I’m following. Ex. Calls for murdering the rich are not okay regardless of how someone feels.

I see [email protected] this [email protected] and this [email protected]
The first one looks active, we can post news there. -

For the first one, the main mod and poster there seems quite active on [email protected] https://thelemmy.club/u/[email protected]
Their modlog https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/modlog?userId=157506
I'm not the biggest fan of feddit.org since https://feddit.org/post/12529640 and https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/44422088
https://lemmy.org seems to be a one-admin thing, they wanted to sell the domain name for 20k https://lemmy.org/post/90035
Seems like we might have to start a new community x)

Look I get what you trying to say, but we need to pick one, and there are not a lot of communities to do that(without making a new one). check this one [email protected] but I believe the first one was ok.
It's just a community in the end, we should leave politics aside on this IMO.

I had a look at their alt, seems a bit concerning too: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/modlog?userId=14068923

Trans athletes in sports are still a regularly discussed topic, it might be better to try to find someone who doesn't have "transphobe" in their modlog (https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/modlog?userId=157506)
How about we start one on lemmy.ca? Your account is there, and I have an alt there too, so we could both mod from local accounts.
Or we create a post on [email protected] to see if other people would like to help us too

Onboarding. I think it'll be better if people promoted individual instances instead of Lemmy as a whole. As a whole, it seems vague.
https://piefed.social has real good onboarding
-
lemmy.ml and its admins being the developers at the same time.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Switch to PieFed and this issue goes away.
A few options
- https://piefed.social/ - flagship instance
- https://piefed.zip/ - lemmy.zip team
- https://piefed.ca/ - lemmy.ca team
- https://feddit.online/
-
The default home feed: out of the box, it puts too much shit in the face of newcomers.
Once filtered out, it's great but one must first learn to filter the noise out which, I'm pretty sure, is dissuasive to a lot of non-geek users like myself.
PieFed's onboarding solves this
