This has got to be the shittiest post.

You better Apology,

Definitely. I love lemmy more now that I have pretty nice curated /subscribed feed. I hardly ever actually look at /all.

I know how you feel! I myself was a lurker on reddit and I’ve instance-/software-hopped on fediverse few times until I found my favourite instance+software.

It takes more time and effort, but I’m definitely happier here than on reddit. Fediverse has it’s difficulties but it feels more “organic”, atleast until now.

I highly recommend a smaller stable instance. You are less likely to end up between defederation wars.

Initially it will suck because you wont find communities and your feed will look empty since you need to have atleast one account from your instance subscribing to a community to federate it to your instance, but once you find communities and subscribe you’ll have the widest access to content since federation is on by default and instances explicitly choose who they defederate (or they use lists of known bad-instances, but small ones are often not on these).

But that’s just my opinion, look into options a bit!

Yup. Since fedia.io was federating with ani.social for awhile you’ve got a “local copy” of ani.social’s communities on fedia.io from back when it federated.

So when you post on those communities it’s all happening only on fedia.io and you see posts/comments on that community from other fedia.io users. But, for example, I can’t see what fedia.io local copy of anime@ani.social looks like from my instance, because my “local copy” is still federating with the actual instance anime community is hosted on (i see new posts and my posts/comments get sent first to ani.social’s original community and federates to rest of instances from there).

Maybe that was the one I’ve originally seen. Not sure which one :D

My experience with German programming languages is with Siemens PLC’s, since the programming language changes together with the IDE when you set the language to German. Looking at Structured Text / Instruction List having U (und) instead of A (and) operator and bunch of other things was interesting.

But IIRC there were also higher programming languages that are in other languages? Wasn’t there one for arabic? Was this it: https://github.com/nasser/---/

Someone’s account got banned by instance admins for mentioning they are 17. So you are right: no one is going to check!

Edit: it was on lemmy.world and nostupidquestions community IIRC

Should join us at !sillydrawingrequests@sopuli.xyz and you get to do it more often than just today!

Awwsome! No problem at all. Long live Lemmy indeed!!

That plan sounds good and it should be absolutely no problem to transfer the moderation to you since it is on your instance and the mod has been inactive that long! Indeed go to the support community I mentioned and earlier and ask :)

No problem at all and good luck! Glad to have you in lemmy :)

PS. If you take over the community and want it to grow, here are some communities to get help with growing it: !communitypromo@lemmy.ca and !fedigrow@lemm.ee

No worries! it’s confusing, I know.

Now, if you can tell the community name we can help you more.

Or if you prefer not to say then you need to figure out the community’s instance it is on, so the server name that comes after the AT sign examplecommunity@instance.name and contact the Admins of that instance.

If the community is in your instance (so lemmy.world) it’s tad bit easier: go to !support@lemmy.world and make a post about volunteering to take over a community.

Good luck and don’t hesitate to msg me or ask me here for help!

Lemmy is still growing and niche communities will take time to grow. I’ve also advocated for combining communities until a community grows to be too big and could use splitting into smaller, more dedicated communities.

Don’t remember which community we decided to lock and put a permanent stickied post pointing to another community for similar content until that community would become too big and we could reopen the closed community once there was a need for it.

But yeah its tough right now with smaller communities and trying to get the ball rolling. If you haven’t already, join us at !fedigrow@lemm.ee.

Wait, you mean the mod or the admin? The term “Admin” is used for system administrators of an instance. e.g. lemmy.world Admins are not necessarily mods of any communities, they own, upkeep, and administer the server. Mods are Moderators of a community and not often/necessarily Admins of the instance.

If Admin has disappeared/is inactive for too long the instance wont likely stay up long. If the said community is on your instance (so lemmy.world), the admins of lemmy.world are definitely active. They can transfer the moderation of the community in question to you.

Edit: don’t worry, you are not disrespecting me in any way. Better to ask your questions and ask for clarification. I know fediverse is confusing and that’s why I’m more than happy to help so please, don’t worry.

Edit2: to clarify just incase: “Instance” is a lemmy server, so lemmy.world is an instance and happens to be your instance. My instance is “sopuli.xyz”.

Rather than making a new community ask the admin of the instance the community is on that they transfer the community to you. There are more likely to be subscribers already and we can prevent fragmentation of communities

Yes this works on many instances. I believe some instances even have a dedicated community for this but I can’t remember any right now… I think if you search for “support” communities each instance pretty much has one and you can request to take over a community whos mod is inactive.

I’d answer you with a copypasta if I could just remember which one was the one with arch superiority but replace everything with mint :(

Great idea, hope we get community user tags in lemmy!

Yes Gowron! Finally!

It will be glorious! I have to give lemmy and Valve a lot of credit for this. Made the move half a year ago and honestly it has been such a fresh breath of (minty) air.

Just saw a big article on a major local news paper about support for Windows 10 ending soon and they mentioned linux mint as an alternative for most people who simply only use their browser on a PC since that is what a big portion of people actully do on a PC.
