The goal of the community seems slightly different. And also the community name itself.

Oh, I did not know about this. What a horrible name, in my opinion... I will keep !wheretopost@lemmy.world as I think it has the better community name.

100% agree that this would be a nice job for AI. I have no idea how to do that though. If anyone wants to create a Bot that does this, please do so and let me know! I will do whatever I need to do on my end, if anything, to allow it on !wheretopost@lemmy.world.

 

I created !wheretopost@lemmy.world because I still find Lemmy a bit confusing. Since there are so many communities across so many servers, I never know where I should be posting certain topics.

The goal of this community is to help people find the right community to post specific content and, by doing that, hopefully, decrease posting friction and increase content.

Please subscribe and help people find the right community!

I know it may not seem like much, but I have had so many instances of content that I wanted to post but ended up just saying"fuck it" because I didn't know where I should be posting it. This friction multiplied by hundreds of people does make the difference!

EDIT: I am looking for 2 (or so) mods for this new community. If you are interested in modding, please let me know. There shouldn't be too much work. Just remove spam, if it ever happens.

We have been very transparent about that and documented that in the wiki which is linked in the sidebar. But it seems few people ever read the Wiki and having it integrated like it is with Piefed would probably help.

Oh ya. I knew about that, and I am fine with that. Though I think having it behind a link is bad UI. People will not read it haha.. It should be presented on account creation, in my opinion. Just 1 sentence "This instance is ran on private hardware and may suffer some down time here and there" would suffice.

Well, I got no reply and I didn't see anyone else in the "mods:" bit in the bottom of the sidebar on slrpnk.net. I understand that having more admins wouldn't help in this specific case, but it would help in others.

Regardless, having a public lemmy instance only ran by 1 person is, in my opinion, a bad practice. And please know that I am not personally attacking you. I am just stating my thoughts. This time you were out on a work deployment. Next time you could be sick. The next time maybe a family member had an emergency and you had to help. And the next time maybe your house caught fire or whatever.

Resilience and redundancy is extremely important in public lemmy instances. And SolarPunk is, in my opinion, all about community. There should be more (trustworthy) people with the same level of access as you do.

Regarding the price and all that, maybe that is an interesting discussion to have with the slrpnk.net community? And it would also be good to let slrpnk.net users know how the instance is being ran, what hardware, where, etc, so users can be an educated decision on whether they want to see an instance or not? Maybe providing that info on the sidebar would be nice?

But again, shit happens. Hopefully this serves as a learning event. If not, so much shit is going through the world, losing a lemmy instance is not something about which one should lose sleep.

EDIT: I may be missremembering about the whole "something similar happened a few months ago and my question about new admins was ignored"... I think that might have been on mander.xyz and not slrpnk.net. I really can't fully remember, but I think it was mander.xyz after-all. Sorry! The rest of the post stands though!

I am a slrpnk user. Oh well, shit happens. What makes me a bit sad was that a few months (?) ago something similar happened. Slrpnk.net was down for aa day or two? Don't remember the exact amount of time. What I do remember is asking if there was intention of adding a second admin and making the point that it would be good to create that sort of redundancy. I was ignored.

Mid of july is basically 1 and a half months from now. Hopefully a new solarpunk instance emerges, one that is safer from such scenarios.

Enjoy your vacation and don't stress too much! Shit happens.

I hope you are doing better OP!

Statues should be raised for people like him. As to incentivize similar deeds.

[–] wit@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They seem down to me still?

Welcome to Lemmy! Post, comment, interact! Help make Lemmy a more active place for all sorts of content!

[–] wit@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Why is mander offline btw? Is it temporary?

[–] wit@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago (5 children)

I think people who claim that the UI/UX is fine are missing the point. It is fine to you, but it is not fine to whomever made the claim. And for every person that makes such claim, there are hundreds/thousands who think/feel the same but don't say anything.

Lemmy, as a community and as a project, should seriously listen more to the opinion of newcomers.

I want to follow some people on tiktok, for the content they put out. I am, however, a somewhat privacy-minded person. Any suggestion on how to make TikTok less privacy-invasive? Some DNS app?

I am on Android, not rooted.

This is not exactly a new community, but it is one I created a few months ago and it is currently dead. Hopefully you guys help me with that:

!frisson@lemmy.world

This is a community for frisson inducing content.

What is frisson?

Frisson is a phenomenon that causes a sensation of chills or tingling on the skin of the lower back, shoulders, neck, and/or arms. It can be triggered by experiences with music, poetry, videos, beauty in nature or art, eloquent speeches, and the practice of science.
