Different strokes for different folks
Different strokes for different folks
I just did
Great, I just did!
I’m on the Matrix space, things are still moving.
No release date yet, and it’s summer so people are on annual leave
When you guys implement https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues/486 I might switch.
I’m not the biggest fan the Mbin interface (that’s mostly a taste issue, nothing wrong with it per se), but that feature could be enough for me to give it another try
Please don’t, they are nice people, they just prefer to stay small
Avoiding Lemmy.ml communities should achieve that
Interesting to see that even Lemmy-UI does not display markdown completely correctly
I agree. A slashdot similar system would be nice
What are tags?
Tags are text labels you can add to a story that help categorize stories by content or category. Clicking the tag icon will open a text field for tagging. Type in a tag, then press the space bar. Repeat for all tags you’d like to add to the story.
Note: Adding the same tag more than once does not increase its weight; once is enough. You might, though, tag a story about Western Digital hard drives “wd,” “westerndigital,” and “storage,” or a story about an MIT programming contest “programming,” “competition,” and “mit.” Tags help sort stories, and help you search for related ones. More tags help!
Everyone can see them! Tags are public and flexible (rather than private and permanent). So one day, we might consolidate and change all “canine” tags to “dog,” say, or define new system tags and usurp more namespace. (Don’t say we didn’t warn you!) Because tags on Slashdot are public, and are used to inform the moderation system, tag abuse can hurt your karma. Please tag in good faith.
The Firehose is powerful viewing tool for Slashdot content, from comments and journal entries to RSS feeds and story submissions. You can filter and interact with the Firehose in a number of ways. The plus/minus box on the left side of each Firehose entry lets you vote on that item. A context menu will appear when you click on the plus or minus, giving you the option of adding certain tags. You can also expand the submission if you’d like to add other tags, such as “northdakota” or “spaceflight.” Voting and tagging are helpful; they inform other Firehose users, and help the editors decide which ones make it to the front page.
Nice comment.
Just going to mention !piefed_meta@piefed.social as another interesting alternative
But then what prevents someone from cloning a community to 50 instances, or cloning 50 community to 1 instance? Seems like an easy abuse vector
What
Yes, they are not even American, are they?
We need… something like a “transfer, merge, fork, split” for communities.
People can do it currently. I’ve done it a few times, for all for cases. You just make an announcement on the community, or on !newcommunities@lemmy.world if you are splitting from a power tripping mod.
Yes, thank you
You’d know which communities are active
There is a weekly thread on !newcommunities@lemmy.world to promote active communities
They have an account there, which is surprising
Happy cake day
That + a guide to the fediverse would go a LOOOOOONG way for newbies
but I can’t go to the main page, so I can click local, and see whats actively being posted to the whole instance like I can on my own instance. Theres probably a way…
There is not
Same approach here
