Not just poorly formatted…they were full of insults.

Theory: the posts are bait so Beaver can feel powerful banning people.

I’m on a (admittedly slow), slide towards vegetarianism so I’m obviously pro-vegan…but apparently I got banned two days ago for rule 5

But Jews ARE good and Zionism IS bad

Anyone else have a dusty box of arduinos and misc components they are absolutely 100% definitely going to make something cool with?

I’ve been living in the same place for 13+ years and I’m moving this weekend. I’ve never had to call someone to bring me a spare set of keys…

…until yesterday. I had my spare set of (just) car keys next to my normal set of all keys. I have a club on my steering wheel so I couldn’t even go do what I was going to.

Thank you!

That sounds like exactly what I’ve been looking for but…I know I’m gonna sound like a typical lemmy user…are there FOSS alternatives? I had no idea something like this existed and I’d love to self-host it.

Their instance is named after an product from a giant corporation. That’s enough for me to avoid it

Please join my new instance, frostedflakes.zone

The real issue I see is that it’s all reposted reddit content so Lemmy looks like a crappy clone instead of being its own thing. For those who enjoy those posts, why would they switch to a site that has the same posts but with empty comments sections?

I’m not saying it’s some huge problem or anything. I just don’t think limiting the amount of frontpage posts per community will negatively affect the site

Is the goal of Lemmy to follow the reddit playbook where quantity is more important than quality? I much prefer thoughtful, specific content to “mass appeal” content. There’s no shortage of places to find the latter, why does it need to be the focus here?

I do, my blocklist is quite large already

The point I’m making is that the communities that would be most affected (negatively) by it are the giant low effort meme/shitpost ones that don’t “need” the exposure to thrive because they’re general interest communities

I’d agree if the coms in question were niche but so far in my experience they never are. When it comes to communities dominating All, it’s always bottom-of-the-barrel memes and porn. The posts from non-garbage communities that show up are usually by themselves

I just sorted by hot and got posts I looked at yesterday

That’s crazy to me. I think the sorting algorithm here is pretty awful no matter what setting I have it in. Linuxmemes, lemmyshitpost, and 196 are always on top mixed in with yesterday’s news
