I see that there are not many resources about this feature around the web, though…
Any suggestions/tips/useful links?

🌱The Vegan Userbase on Lemmy Has Reached 110 Users!🌱
The vegan community is growing on the lemmyverse now at 110 registered users that makes a MAU of 69 (0.15%) of the 44.9k Lemmy userbase.
If we apply the 90-9-1 rule with rounding factored in, we would have 55 lurkers, 5 small contributors and 1 contributor.
Lemmy.vg has 39 users, 7 communities, 533 posts, 376 comments and 18 6mo active users. Started on 24-05-09.

The Social Web Foundation is pleased to announce the Social Web Devroom at FOSDEM 2025, and invite participants to submit proposals for talks for the event. FOSDEM is an exciting free and open sour…
FOSDEM is a huge grassroots Free and Open Source Software conference held annually in Brussels, Belgium. It brings together thousands of users and developers from Europe and around the world. The conference is organized into themed tracks called "developer rooms" or "devrooms".
For the first time (I think) there will be a devroom at FOSDEM 2025 devoted to Open Source software that implements ActivityPub or is otherwise closely related to the Fediverse.
Interested software developers are invited to submit proposals for talks at the event. It would be especially great to have talks about Lemmy or from the wider Lemmy ecosystem, since this is such an important part of the Fediverse developer community.
Instructions for submitting a proposal are in the link. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Where to Find Statistics on Lemmy Communities and Post Activity?
> Yeah because first of all, content had to be spread out across 562826 different communities for no reason other than that reddit had lots of communities, after growing for many many years. It started with just a few. > > Then 99% of those were created on Lemmy.world, and every new user was directed to sign up at Lemmy.world. > > I guess a lot of people here are younger than me and didn’t experience forums, but we had like 30 forum channels. That was enough to talk about anything at all. And I believe it’s the same here, it would have been enough. And then all channels would have easy to find content. > > source
Hey everyone! I'm curious about the number of communities on Lemmy and the activity levels within them. Specifically, is there a reliable source where I can check the total number of communities and the average number of posts per month? It seems like the number of communities might be quite high, but I wonder how low the post activity is across most of them. Any insights or links to resources would be greatly appreciated!

Feature requests for a lemmy moderation bot
cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/18411894
> Hello Lemmings! > > I am thinking of making a community moderation bot for Lemmy. This new bot will have faster response times with the help of Lemmy webhooks, an amazing plugin for Lemmy instances by @[email protected] to add webhook support. With this, there is no need to frequently call the API at a fixed interval to fetch new data. Any new data will be sent via the webhook directly to the bot backend. This allows for actions within seconds, thus making it an effective auto moderation tool. > > I have a few features I thought of doing: > - Welcome messages > - Auto commenting on new posts > - Scheduled posts > - Punish content authors or take action on content via word blacklist/regex > - Ban members of communities by their usernames/bios via word blacklist or regex > - Auto community lockdown during spam > > What other features do you think are possible? > Please let me know. > Any questions are also welcome. > > Community requested features: > - Strike system > > Strikes are added to a certain member of the community and the member will be temporarily banned within a time period if their strike count reaches a certain threshold > - Post creation restriction by account age > > If an account's age is lower than X, remove the post.
Should one remove all Reddit posts and comments?
Do the advantages of deleting one's entire Reddit history outweigh the disadvantages?
I have previously nuked my first Reddit account because it felt satisfactory to be completely detached from a platform one considers unethical/bad. Though, I have garnered quite some history on a second account—because Duty Calls*, of course—and I'm considering doing the same.
However, I don't want to do it impulsively. I think I might be blind to some disadvantages. What do you think?
Hello From Friendica - Quick Activity Pub cross compatibility test
Hello From Friendica - Quick Activity Pub cross compatibility test
Hi, sorry, I hope this isn't to spammy, I was revising some writings on the various social media protocols and wanted to test some stuff before I stated it as fact.
Anyway, I might as well provide some potentially interesting information instead of just completely worthless spam. What it appears (and confirms if you're seeing this) is that you can post to lemmy via a blogging/microblogging instance as long as you '@' the lemmy community. First line is the title and the rest is the post itself.
Have a good night everyone.
edit: testing edits
I think thread deletion is problematic and needs some consideration and changes
A large percentage of threads I've created or participated in have been deleted. Worse is that when visiting the URL everything is completely gone.
This is much more drastic when compared with Reddit thread deletions, where the thread is there and so is the discussion. And the creator of the thread has access to their content.
The Lemmy method discourages people from participating in threads and creating high-quality content, much more so than the Reddit method.
A bunch of lively and useful discussions on Lemmy have completely disappeared. And it makes it seem like a waste of time to even contribute content here.
---
EDIT: I see that the "fediverse" link for posts has been removed. I posted this to lemmy.ml from a lemmy.world account and there's no way for me to get the lemmy.ml link now. And when I crosspost it it shows a lemmy.world link instead of the lemmy.ml one. I think this should be changed [back].
Does feddit.de work?
Does feddit.de work? ==========
Good morning everyone, we noticed that feddit.de has been unreachable since last night (server error). But how come I from Mastodon or Lemmy.ml can find some messages published this morning? Maybe the problem is only with the web server? While can you still connect via the app? Can anyone give me an explanation?
Is there any real or serious conversation or work around the idea of a feature-full social media browser?
Is there any real or serious conversation or work around the idea of a feature-full social media browser?
Basically something like a web browser but for “all the social media” along with useful organisation features too.
For locked down big social APIs, this makes less sense nowadays, but for open alt-social systems, \it is likely the most valuable promise of such systems\ that they can become like the web, reachable through an awesome all-in-one app.
A thought on "moderation bubbles"
A thought on "moderation bubbles"
A plurality of contentiously incompatible but independent moderation "spaces" ... is the only way in which the internet is good at digesting substantial and contentious topics.
\* conversations on the internet generally suck. \* On any contentious front, strong moderation can run the risk of "echo chambers". \* For those willing to survey multiple "bubbles", an interconnected plurality provides a de facto dialectics.
Thus federation for the win!

Following #lemmy communities from #mastodon has gotten much better
Following #lemmy communities from #mastodon has gotten much better
Version 19.4 introduced automatic hashtag-ing (see https://lemmy.ml/post/16585416)
Posts get federated with a hashtag matching the community name.
The important bit is that comments to posts \don't\ get the tags.
Which means you can follow the corresponding tag on mastodon and get a feed only of posts.
EG: #asklemmy
If you're starting a community, giving it a unique enough name could help prevent overlap too.

One of the strengths of the federal system is the freedom to choose to “federate” or “defer” any entity. This allows the community to maintain control and limit Slither io who can participate in their space.
Also—and I really don’t want to sound like a BlueskyBro here—is there any software that implements custom timelines in the Fediverse, such as the super cool ones Bluesky has?
It would be super cool if lists could be made not only of profiles, but also of hashtags and keywords, ideally even having custom algorithms, too!

@[email protected] @[email protected] there's absolutely more to being decentralized than just using "decentralization techniques". Those techniques just mean it could be decentralized in theory but isn't at all in practice. At least not for now.
It's like saying your service is "decentralized" even though you run and control it all because you use load-balancing with your web servers.
@sabreW4K3 Well that's a pretty nonsensical take.
The use of some decentralization techniques? It is decentralized because it uses decentralization techniques, and that's all there is to it. It is far more decentralized than this platform because of the techniques it uses. It focuses on users instead of centralizing around instances.
From the point of view of power dynamics? GTFO with that BS.
No, BlueSky is decentralized. It is more decentralized than this platform. These people are trying really really hard to bend things and find problems that don't really match reality.
And they need to be called out over it.
I really wish this platform was more decentralized, but that's not how the engineers designed it, and we need to call them out over it.
ActivityPub does support extensions (looking at you, ForgeFed, as an example), but you can be right depending on which protocol they could choose
I don't see a link for this, but found the github page for Mentions United.
@hongminhee Interesting, but what makes it different from any of the other single user AP software out there?
Taking a look at the current sidebar, it might be nice to reorganize the stats section completely
What I'm thinking is:
By default it will only show some stats, where users can select what stats they want displayed in the settings. This way I can hide the stuff I don't care about, instead of having to look through the already busy list.
**Statistics:** [✏️edit]
- Monthly Active Users: 4,000
- Total Subscribers: 30,000
[ v see all v ]
Then expanding the box will give the full list of stats:
[ ^ collapse ^ ]
**Statistics:**
Active Users:
- By day: 800
- By week: 1,200
- By month: 4,000
- By year: 24,100
Subscribers:
- Total: 30,000
- Local: 12,000
Comments:
- Total: 81,000
- Today: 510
- This week: 1,315
[... etc]
It opens up the possibility of including more items in that list. We could also replace the expand option with a link to a full statistics dashboard page.
How is being listed there pretending it’s not a thing?
A free account is an easy way to test out the platform, give it a test ride, see if it works for you. If it does, you can pay for a Pro (or Team) subscription, and you get to use your own domain, and keep all the posts you already made on the free account, with all their comments and replies and whatnots.
Or, if it works out, and you want to self host, you can do that, too!
The difference between write.as and medium and other enshittified things, though, is that write.as is not VC funded, and Matt has no interest in making an "exit". Even if there are things I disagree on with him (eg, CLAs), I trust Matt to not enshittify write.as anytime soon. He's been running things for almost a decade now, remarkably well.
It is pretty darn trivial to turn those env vars into a config.ini. But if you don't want to, my writefreely-docker has you covered. It has been used in production for a couple of hundred writefreely blogs over the past few years.
Yep, all good now, cheers :-)
Just a heads up that for some reason your title text is showing HUGE on my Lemmy app - possibly that's intentional, but hopefully not. Assuming not, you probably need to delete the hash/pound symbol at the start.
Might just be me, of course :-)
Hey @[email protected] the link to the details and downloads is broken, its an internal link only so it will not be broken for you, but everyone else.
