is there is any Lemmy server that care about privacy(does not require email), Does not impose limits on community posts like my current instance and does not have high amount of restrictions?
-
We require a valid email for registration as an anti-spam measure, but you can garble the email afterwards.
Oh right, the email!
-
I don’t dislike the Adam’s Family nor the Munsters, but I have blocked both communities because they each had a ton of submissions on the same day, and they were dominating my feed.
I love eevee and its eeveeloutions, but the eevee community is spammy AF. I unsubscribed after a couple days. I am getting close to blocking it altogether.
I mod the women's hockey community on OP's instance, and post the results of all games (this past season there were only 6 teams so not a lot), but if there are two games in a day I try and put at least 6 hours between the posts so not to spam.
First time I hear about Eevee community. Is it [email protected] ?

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Yes. And looking at the feed, there are 11 posts all at the same hour mark, then it will go a day or so with nothing then another dozen posts at once.

I want to be part of the solution of the problems I see on Lemmy, that is why I opened my alt account at my current server to open new communities while fixing their issues.
I had been informed by the server admin that I should not post more than 5 posts in any local community which is guaranteed to kill my communities on my current server.
I am explaining the backstory here for people to understand my logic for my question.
So, I really appreciate any help here. If anyone can give me good servers to open my communities in.
My current communities:
- News: to lower the load on Lemmy. World server and to improve the Fediverse health.
- Europe: due to less than optimal moderation actions as documented in "power trippin " community.
- Misinformation/ Disinformation: Because there is no community to post research and news about this topic.
Thank you all for your help. I really would appreciate any lead here.
https://communick.news/ fits all you requirements regarding users - only paying members can join, so the instance is pretty much guaranteed to be protected from spammers and bots.
Regarding your communities: I really rather keep a strict separation between "instances for communities" and "instances for groups". The topic-specific instances I am running are meant for specific niches, but perhaps I can find one domain that can be used for more "generic" subjects. Would you be interested in that?

slrpnk.net doesn't require an email, makes it optional in case you want it for password recovery. And as far as I know it doesn't have the restrictions you mention.

Amazing that this person thinks spamming is going to improve anything.

Guessing you want a free speech instance where you can spam and spout nonsense. You may want to look to hilariouschaos, or one of the other freeze peach patriot instances.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I've noticed you tend to always assume the worst before even trying to give the benefit of the doubt.
There are very legitimate reasons to not want to give your email to any random website that asks. They can be hacked, the instance might be a front for some data aggregator, etc. And if your response is "just use a masking service" or "just use a disposable email address", then what is the point of validating the email address in the first place?
Admins add email verification because this is one extra layer of protection against automated bots, but this is far from a guarantee they are protected. It might help them to give some paper trail in case someone does something nasty on their servers, but the best they can do is take an (easy to create) email address and report to the authorities along with the IP address.
Compare with an instance that only accepts paying members:
- no bot or spammer will be interested in paying a few dollars per month to send messages
- if some spammer is stupid enough to sign up to the service and sends clear spam, then we point the ToS to them, kick them out and they will be left without any money
- we have a much stronger paper trail (credit card payments, bank transfers) in case some user does something nasty.

For the first problem, just use a throwaway email service (I like temp-mail.org) to make your account.

Lets say you find an instance that meets your requirements, given the lack of email validation, what's going to happen is that instance will be host to trolls and spammers, top to bottom, and then it will get defederated from the rest of lemmy.
-
Set up your own server and apply your own rules.
Agreed, this is my go to response to everyone, (seriously there's like a post a week about this same thing) asking it. Sounds like the perfect place to spread whatever garbage you want is the server you set up and pay for yourself, accepting all personal liability for. Go all cowboy with it!

Funny, that's what I was thinking as I blocked your spammy ass!

My instance does not require email validation and so far I have zero spammers or bots. There is one thing I am doing different than everyone else. Can you guess what it is?

What's stopping spammers/scammers/bots to do the same thing?

I agree. If you're worried about it, set up a free gmail account to use for validation, problem solved.

You don't need 5 posts a day for a community to survive here. There's not that many people on Lemmy, things are a bit slower paced.
I mod [email protected] and we'd be lucky to have one post per day, yet I think it's still a relatively healthy community, with a decent amount of engagement on most posts.

"Surving" != "Thriving".
A couple of years ago, I noticed that the front page of HackerNews was consistently getting links from Mastodon posts. That was interesting because it showed that at least one significant part of the tech conversation had moved away from Twitter and into the Fediverse.
No such thing has happened for Lemmy. There is no particular community which is thriving. There is no example of subreddit community that had successfully boycotted Reddit and transplanted here. We have the usual handful of posters, each one trying to maintain their communities "alive", but that is far from its true potential.

More than 5 posts would raise the likelihood of people blocking that instance because of spam. Less is more.
As long as they're not back to back I don't mind. But what I HATE is people that spam out like 30 posts in one go. I don't want an entire page to be posts from one person/community.
I especially hate it when it's the exact same link, but different communities (shouldn't be an issue for OP, but I hate that shit). Lemmy really needs to fix that. I don't mind people cross posting 30 times, but I only want to see the same link once per page.
