Idk about RSS feeds but Lemmy Schedule exists for scheduling posts. I keep meaning to try it out but haven't yet.

100% there are people creating an unhealthy obsession with her and this community is feeding it. She will have negative consequences due to this.
And that may have been the harasser's goal all along. It's no secret the internet is full of misguided investigators and people who don't realize how their curiosity can be harmful to others.
Hopefully "Nicole" isn't being subjected to other forms of harassment too.
That's fine, but removing downvoting doesn't prevent the discussion. It curbs drive-by negativity which is a good thing IMO.
Obviously everyone is free to disagree with things. It should be more than absentmindedly hitting a down arrow though. Others obviously feel differently. Thankfully both exist on Lemmy.
That would be a useful feature. Maybe something to roll out alongside private communities and things coming in the future.
Being able to disable downvoting is one of the best features Lemmy has and I wish more instances would do it.
Voting here doesn't influence your feed and downvoting largely serves to spread negativity. Turning it off has a negligible impact on usability and an undeniable advantage when people decide their feelings matter more than someone else's, like whatever this is.
We've de-federated from both the instances being used for manipulative voting.
There are a few different ways to address the spam but none of them are perfect and all of them require intervention from your instance admin. The best course of action is to bring the spam to their attention by reporting the DMs. You may even want to contact your admin directly to ask them to take action.
Awesome mate. Glad you found something you feel comfortable helping with!
That's why I suggested asking others to adopt some of the slower communities that are already out there. π
There's bound to be others who are interested, you've already gotten a few bites with this post.
Anything that isn't in the current mainstream tends to be in short supply on Lemmy. People haven't gotten used to the idea that other people aren't already running those communities for them. I think they're still working up the bravery to be more active/figuring out the platform and if it's worth the effort.
As others suggested you could start some communities up yourself. Maybe another option is digging up some of the dead communities and making a post asking others if they're interested in taking them over? That's worked for a couple communities in the past.
Hey look, it's the little one!
