That’s really good news - we need more topic specific instances.

She’s only little, so if she wasn’t at the front you wouldn’t see her.

Valance was one of the first original characters in the initial Marvel run on the Star Wars comics and always looked like Star Wars Punisher. He’s made quite the comeback in recent years but I don’t recall he has trickled over into much other media, yet, but I think it is only a matter of time.

Aphra has been the big breakout hit and will eventually be everywhere (she’s in Galaxy of Heroes, for example) - I’d be shocked if they weren’t planning how to get her into live action.

Give Mods and Admins the ability to move posts to another community.

Help promote longer discussions by using the sidebar to display comments initially sorted by “New”. Give options to filter comments by Community, Local, Subscribed, Mod View or All.

There is already Lemmy NSFW which, I am led to understand, has more boobies than you can shake a stick at.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Probably some mundane explanation but still…

As a community grows in popularity, it often shifts from hosting insightful discussions to attracting memes, funny, and low-quality content.

Seems the simplest thing would be to start a parallel memes community. So, for example, if it was an issue on [email protected] we’d look into a movie memes community and those that don’t want memes can just block it.

Interestingly there seems to have been an uptick in comments.

Gotta ask why it seems to slowly decline after each influx, tho, rather than slowly rise or stay stable.

Because there is a big influx of people looking for a new home and some of them don’t feel this is it and move on.

What is Interesting about the graph is that the drop-off after Rexxit was much steeper and, despite the drops, the numbers don’t go below the level they were before.

Lemmy seems to have that spirit of the Internet of the 90s, which I thought was long gone.

That’s what I like about the Fediverse too. After Big Tech started hoovering up eyeballs, I got disenchanted but this has put fire back in my belly.

They have [email protected]

Lemmy is just a forum set to sort by new posts, not new comments.

Perhaps find like-minded folks and start one?

They are not being as used as I expected/hoped.

Have you considered it’s because of this?:

My only requirement: these instances should remain closed for registrations and used only to create communities.

I wouldn’t run an instance that didn’t allow users to sign up as it would impede growth and uptake.

It also would have the interesting effect of pushing a lot of the load onto other instances, which doesn’t seem true to the Fediverse spirit.

Pinning threads is buggy across instances.

Catbox has been having issues for the last few days.
