I use Boost and it seems to be able to do at least most of the moderation actions needed, and it supports notifications. I think Summit, Connect, Sync, and Jerboa are also good but I haven’t used them too much.

In the user settings there’s an option to export everything to a file, then you just import that file into your other account

That would make community names a bit longer so they’d be more annoying to type and share?

Most niche communities (with some exceptions ofc:-) here aren’t as active as they were on Reddit, so many of us end up spending more time in the generalized ones - e.g. !technology@lemmy.world rather than specific ones like r/OnePlus or even r/Android.

I think we need to get better about crossposting to multiple communities. You could post to all 3 of those.

I filed an issue on Github for you

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4743

Just saying it’s an easy one to start with to get familiar with the system

And yeah it could be used to verify “tags” in the title, or require you put the year for something like a movie title or game, like (1993)

also my comment kicked off a little discussion in here, so that’s nice too

a pretty simple plugin idea would be a regex to validate post titles, deny the post if the title is invalid

I might try it unless someone else beats me to it

I guess to start with it could be a config file with a dictionary of community name: regex

and later it could be made to use the database with an api to set the regexes, could even allow community moderators to set their own regexes (might need a maximum regex length, maximum number of parenthesis/groups in the regex pattern, and disable lookbehind/lookahead, for performance reasons)

awesome, I hope this can bring more devs on board

also I think we should organize behind a single GitHub tag, like

https://github.com/topics/lemmy-plugin

Boost can do this

Also I did suggest a tweak to the hot rank for comments, I do feel like Hot is ok for posts but not for comments

you make a good point about push vs pull, although things are only pushed if someone is subscribed (opt-ed in)

I think the proposal is for licenses to become part of the ActivityPub protocol, so all applications would retain the original license of the content, license would be a first class citizen

although without licenses this is functionally the same as email, I wonder how the laws work for that, for example I don’t think you can just plagiarize something that someone wrote, quoted, or copy-pasted to you in an email if it’s actually copyrighted content like from a book (aka content that had a license)

cloning data in that way isn’t legally different than what The Wayback Machine does for other websites, it doesn’t mean a company can just ignore the legal license of the content just because they can get a copy of it

if the only concern was getting a copy of the data, then Reddit wouldn’t be able to sell access to the data for $75mil or whatever, the AI company would just scrape the pages or pay the API fees directly, and then they could even store the data and serve it to other people as a mirror and make some money off of the content with ads too!

same thing with licenses on Git repos, you can’t just clone it and do whatever you want with it, there are laws

And then a user copy-pastes all the content onto pastebin or something lol

I guess the more important part might be only allowing posts/comments/votes from actually approved users, this should be good enough for that purpose

Anything more than that just use a local-only private community

good idea, I think some big instances would ideally want all communities to always be visible, so people can find what they’re looking for even if it isn’t popular

this colorful icon is the fedilink, the original URL of the post/comment

Drop the permaurl/fedilink into your own instance’s search box. Note that you have to be logged in when searching for remote content otherwise it’ll silently find nothing, probably to avoid abuse of server resources.

Related minor issue https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2160

And pull request with the fix https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2344 (give a thumbs up or comment if you want to see this fix accepted)

Basically if the colorful fedilink icon is not there then you can just copy the URL from your address bar cause you’re already on the local post. Posts are local to the instance of the poster, not the instance of the community.

Here’s a couple of feature requests filed for improving the core issue: (give them thumbs ups)

edit: I just responded to this comment but now I noticed this is 3 years old lol how did this post show up on Hot? integer underflow?

seems to be happening on programming.dev but not lemmy.ml maybe before programming.dev only has it at 1 score instead of 12?

There’s a discussion here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2631

@UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee

Other apps are currently just polling for notifications every hour or so, works fine for now
