Love that idea actually

Even a limit of posts per community would be great. 2-3 from each community max in the first 100 would even be awesome. It would also force a lot of lesser known communities into peoples top posts and help growth in them.

New communities and flooding the feed (lemmy.world)
 

What I mean is someone sets up a new community, blasts it with a bunch of content to get things started, or sets up a new community bot that makes 20 posts and every other post in my feed is that community. Usually with 1 or 2 votes each and no comments. No matter what way I sort I see this.

I have zero issues with people getting things going within their space, and it’s not a knock against new communities that don’t want to be empty when people stumble across them.

It’s a complaint about the algorithm flooding my feed with so much content from one place that I’ve unfortunately blocked communities over this that I otherwise would have continued to run across and maybe engaged with in the future.

I’m not sure if your first X results should all be unique communities or putting some sort of engagement threshold in place before they show up in the top X posts or something. I don’t really have a perfect answer but to me this is a flaw in the system.

How to remove a single button from the tool bar? in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

I have no idea how the app is built I hate to say, Ive never looked at it. Was just giving some general advice. If I get some time I'll dig a bit sounds fun

Use the inspect button in your browser and you can pinpoint it in the html which will help you pinpoint it in the actual component.

Be aware though this isn’t shutting off functionality. Just hiding the functionality. People could still upload directly though api calls

WoW Servers - a community to discuss WoW private servers in c/newcommunities@lemmy.world

Isn’t the entire point of classic to get off p2w private servers that can and do just shut down randomly destroying your progress?

SOM servers seemed like an absolute godsend.

I’ve played since vanilla and even went back and did all of classic again when it first came out again a few years ago. My only private server experiences were not good by any means.

Is there something I’m missing or is it just about saving the monthly sub cost

Is there a such thing as indirect federation? (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by WontonSoup@lemmy.world to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I'll explain with an example - there are 3 Lemmy instances A, B, C

A federates with B but not C

B Federates with both A and C

Does A indirectly get the content from C due to B's federation with it?

YSK: Hitting submit more than once will post your comment/thread multiple times, even with the lag (lemmy.world)
 

With the sluggishness of the site these last few days you can sometimes get slowness or infinitely loading icon when hitting submit. If you aren't sure if your post submitted, refresh the original page in a different tab before hitting submit again to see if it went through. I see double and triple posts in almost every comment section.
