i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.
You're viewing a single thread.
Even in the hay day of online discussion forum websites you'd have trolls that derail threads and bring nastiness to the forefront.
Good moderation, clearly defined rules and quality of content are key- contributes to a quality forum.
The karma farming and bridgading of Reddit is not missed here. Now if we can get some of the niche forums more population.
The Lemmy homepage could do a random "Community Focus" where one random community is pinned for a day or 2 - or something like that. Just so people notice some of the tinier communities. I joined many when I 1st signed up but now my feed is full, so I hardly look for new ones anymore.
