I wonder if it’s a flaw with some tool or library that multiple apps are using.
Edited the post with better links
When your team has a moment, I would recommend setting up your instance on https://lemmy-federate.com/instances
This will automatically add your future communities onto other people’s instances so that users can immediately start using them. It helps a lot with community discovery. You can also send out the existing communities after the instance is registered.
I’m not by a computer right now, but I can send over our settings choices if you have any issues.
Thank you!
I’m also trying to help some of the new users on the linked posts but I’m running into Reddit’s Karma requirements. I don’t mind passing along the comments for a mod or someone else to post instead 😄

1·8 hours agoregarding the join button, I actually just saw a user have that same misunderstanding: https://old.reddit.com/r/Silksong/comments/1qltxzy/announcing_our_official_sister_community/o1hlnk3/
That’s amazing, welcome! I look forward to these communities growing.
The first link was broken for me, here are the 4 communities so far with clickable links for anyone else that wanted it:

Seems like it would be easier for the moderators there to collaborate with a threadiverse community

Lemmy@lemmy.ml•[Help Design Lemmy] Joinlemmy website and New User OnboardingEnglish
1·16 hours agoI just took another look at the site, and I love the new changes already!
Very good idea, also opened an issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site/issues/526
I see the developer also found the issue, great to hear that you both might be collaborating.
The images are just to avoid having too much text, a bit similar to the Peertube site. I already mentioned it in another comment, if you know any better images to put there I would be happy to replace them. The icons on your site are very small, so it would still show a lot of text.
That’s a good point. I like the images you have currently, and I’ll keep an eye out for anything that might be better.
True these havent been updated in a long time. Any specific features that you would emphasize?
A few of them have nice big cards now, so those could be combined. Otherwise the features that I personally would have been interested in are (in no particular order):
Emojis with autocomplete support. Start typing :User tagging using @, Community tagging using !: You could also emphasize that this works across instances. For example: “Tagging users and communities from any federated instance”Integrated image uploading in both posts and comments.i18n / internationalization support for > 30 languagesRSS / Atom feeds for All, Subscribed, Inbox, User, and Community.By hosting your own server, you can be in full control of your content.
Instances can have multiple topics, in fact you can make a PR to this file to update it yourself.
Thanks, I made a note for our team to look into that in the future!
I like Pixelfed’s join page since I can quickly narrow down an instance based on what’s important to me: https://pixelfed.org/servers
That’s a good point, I’m also not sure if there is a good way for instance admins to change that on Pixelfed’s site. I don’t have a strong preference either way, but having some way for admins to update the information would be ideal. Perhaps an automated system with custom overrides through a file on the GitHub?
Some more feedback on the current version of the site:
- It might be good to indicate that the instance in the first card is a random instance, and not an official or ‘flagship’ instance. That way, if it links to a poorly moderated / maintained instance, it doesn’t reflect poorly on the project. My personal preference would be to have the
Browse All Serversbe the primary button, and then the join button be secondary. A refresh button might also work: “Refresh for a new randomly selected server” - Very minor, but some of the images are light mode while others are dark mode. It might look better if it was consistent

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Hollo 0.7.0: Advanced search, faster notifications, and improved client compatibilityEnglish
17·21 hours agoIf anyone else is curious, here is what I found on the link
https://docs.hollo.social/intro/
Hollo is a simple, single-user microblogging tool that lets you run your own little corner of the internet. Think of it as your personal Mastodon instance, but stripped down to the essentials.
To clarify, ingredients are different on each side of the border. So the same product has vegan ingredients on one side, and non-vegan ingredients on the other
I also edited my original comment to be clearer

Moderation Strictness - 2023-06-16 For now since the Threadiverse is taking off, we will allow, for the time being, more general questions about Lemmy (and KBin) usage, particularly around community/magazine discovery and sharing. Starting next week however we’re going to ask you to move such posts to more appropriate forums such as !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml , or !kbinMeta@kbin.social
Rules
- Don’t be a jerk or be deliberately unhelpful
- Post title should include the community name as one would type it into the community search, with instance name preferred.
- post content should elaborate more specifically what/for whom the community is about
- Please no NSFW communities -if you want to create /c/wowthisNSFW exists go right ahead.
- No posting of personal information
- No joke, troll, or deliberately misleading requests, suggestions or posts
- no SPAM
While I don’t know about Oreos, ingredients also vary by region. A number of products have different ingredient lists depending on if you buy them in Canada or the US. So something that
iscould be considered vegan/vegetarian in one region,is notdoes not meet the requirements in the other region.

Based on the time stamps, it does look like the same person made 17 accounts on

Running a more robust query, in total I’m seeing 88 of those accounts onlemmy.organd the 17 accounts onttrpg.network, all of which are banned on here.Right now I’m thinking that we will keep an eye out for more accounts, and then reach out to admins if it becomes a problem on another instance
