Unless there is some kind of cooldown time (but even then), mods will constantly change...
Group A votes Mod B off and places Mod A there. Group B doesn't like that and votes Mod A off and places Mod B (or a similar) back.
The longer that goes on, the more users (and even Mods) will get annoyed and leave that sub. There will probably the be originalsub, splitsubA, splitsubB. All of these subs will be weaker than the originalsub was before.
So basically the same what we see in current politics. Instead of finding a solution together, it just creates larger gaps between the members.
It feels less like democracy but more like temporary dictatorship that oscillates between opinions.
A better solution would be to have multiple mods with different opinions finding consensus together. But that's easier said than done...
Do I understand this correctly?
Example:
- user@lemmy.world makes a comment in lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/main
- Users report it
- Mods of lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/main are notified
- If they remove it, it is removed everywhere
- Admins of lemmy.blahaj.zone are notified
- If they remove it, it is removed everywhere
- Admins of lemmy.world are notified
- If they remove it, it is removed in lemmy.world
- Mods of lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/main are notified
Let's direct them to lemmy.helvetet.eu then... 🤘
anyone knows if it’s cheaper to get random domain, just for personal stuff, this way
I think it's usually more expensive that way. What I've seen is that these are usually domains that might be of special interest. This is also the case in the one that I have seen. (In contrast to auctions of physical things like on ebay, that might have aged already and thus are cheaper.)
how are the renewal fees set, are they related bid made
That's what I would like to know too. Either that, or the prices are the normal fees of the chosen registrar. I don't know which.
Hi, I hope this is the right community. I want to get a domain name for my own Lemmy instance. The one I have in mind is on auction on sedo.com.
I have no experience with acquiring a domain via auction. Is the price a one time fee for transfering the domain, and then the usual yearly fees (as for that TLD) applies, or is the price meant as yearly fee? I tried to find some info on this on the auction site but have not found a sufficient note.
Has anyone of you bought a domine name like that? Thanks for your help.
Let's consider this horror scenario:
Suddenly Lemmy.ml fails, and the admins realise with a shock, that the backup didn't work properly.
What would happen if Lemmy.ml was setup from scratch or only old backup where there were only a small fraction of the users present?
- Communities/posts/comments that don't exist anymore after the reinstall → Obviously they can't be accessed anymore, and I guess this will be federated to other instances (they won't also be available there anymore)
- Communities/posts/comments of Lemmy.ml users that were made on other instances → These are stored there, they should still be accessable, but
- Would the unavailable users just be linked to nothing
- Would the users names that were available in the old backup be linked back to Lemmy.ml? Would these posts again be visible in the Lemmy.ml user history?
Yeah it's a cat and mouse game sadly...
Malicious instances would need to be blocked by the instance you are registered to.
Couldn't they keep the instance running and just change the domain name? Or if not easily possible, then just have a setup script that creates a new instance under the new domain name with X number of users.
As for multiple accounts - couldn't the same thing be done on reddit? Just make a bunch of alts and self-inflate your own posts/comments.
Sure, but as mentioned it might be easier with Lemmy since they could just run their own instance. Or maybe it's harder because Lemmy admins check account creation better on their own instance and are more sceptical of other instances.
It's an interesting topic, time will tell how it's gonna be. It certainly isn't bad to talk about it already today. ;)
The problem with that is, that not all instances use "Lemmy" or even "feddit" in the URL.
It would be really useful if you could set your home instance and then have a direct link for adding/joining the communities that way. It's still quite annoying to do all manually.
Or that all (subscribed?) servers automatically be notified and thus updated when a new community is created on another server.
certain instances can choose not to federate with other instances
I've not seen this yet, how does this manifest?
Check near the bottom of https://join-lemmy.org/
There you can see the different options to support Lemmy.
In special I’m hoping for specialised instances about some subjects that I enjoy. I like the Lemmy instance but stuff like anime and conlanging “feels” off-topic here.
Do you mean for subscribing to the communities of these new instances, or would you completely switch to that instance (create a new account there)?
I've noticed some lags/asyncronity with non-home instance content. I guess it would make sense to be home wherever is the most and best fitting communities. But that would also mean leaving behind the stuff of the current account.
