You’ll have to message the community mods for clarification. They’re the ones who created and maintain the community, so they get to decide who gets banned and why.

Getting banned for a comment in another community is certainly possible, depending on what you said. I don’t necessarily agree with that moderation style and it doesn’t represent most communities on SJW, but that particular community tends to attract some heavy trolling, so I can understand if they’re a bit trigger-happy on the ban hammer.

I just looked at your modlog history and it could be for multiple reasons. You have used some offensive language in the past. That probably has something to do with it.

Which community?

I’m on Lemmy all the time and I didn’t know that community. But thanks for sharing, this is what I’m talking about.

Tbf you’re on Lemmy 24/7 so you’ll hear about things much earlier than many others. I’ve also been on Piefed for a minute.

But I’ve come to understand how slowly knowledge propagates through large numbers of people, at least via this medium. First with the APIcaplyse, when I realized that virtually nobody on reddit had even heard of the API changes, let alone moving to Lemmy. And then on Lemmy itself with various major events/dramas that people were totally unaware of until much later.

Piefed is developing rapidly and seems like a worthy alternative to Lemmy and Mbin. The private voting feature is also really cool.

Yeah man it’s uh… it’s the future that’s getting weird 😅

in awe

Yeah they’re vastly smaller than Lemmy, which is probably why they felt the need to go open source. But without federation, open source doesn’t do much to change things.

I do like the site and the userbase, so if they were open to federation I think it’d be a nice little boost for us.

Try fiddling around with your language settings maybe? Sometimes the language filter can hide posts in a weird way.

Ultimately, if your only interest is in a handful of niche communities, then Lemmy isn’t quite there yet, I agree. I am also missing a bunch of niche communities, but I enjoy most of the popular content that’s on Lemmy anyhow, so I’m not too bothered by the loss of the niche stuff for now.

It’s also important to note that 0.19 has been a long time coming. I think part of the reticence to engage in full on Lemmy evangelism is that people recognize that the platform still needs work. Once everything starts working more smoothly and moderation tools get some upgrades, it’ll become a lot easier to recommend Lemmy to the average person.

Cool stuff. I’m not one for microblogging but this could be very beneficial for growing niche communities here by taking advantage of Mastodon’s larger userbase. Thank you for continuing to build tools for the fediverse, @db0 🫡

Also curious. I’d imagine the delays on Lemmy 0.19 have not helped the situation but it’d be nice to get an update.

The sheer audacity

Totally agree. It also happens when a comment is removed and the whole tree of replies gets cut off at that point and is no longer viewable. It’s definitely technically feasible because admins can still see removed posts/comments and all the replies, so I would imagine it’s just a matter of time until the developers can get around to implementing that functionality for normal users.

You are actually the master of finding lists for any given scenario. I thought it was just for playlists, now I’m almost scared to know the true extent of your power 😅

Kbinners are generally really cool.

But tbf, kbin/Lemmy federation is far from flawless, it’s still very inconsistent. For instance, kbin moderator actions don’t federate to Lemmy instances, so I constantly have to remove spam from kbin communities that our users are subscribed to.

Point being, we are making it work right now in suboptimal conditions, so it should get even more enjoyable once the software catches up to where it needs to be.

Harsh but fair.

Thank you for the update, can’t wait for 0.19!

Headcanon 🤣

You make very good points. The beautiful thing about the fediverse is it doesn’t have to be all or nothing, different servers can try different solutions and mix and match whatever seems to be working best.
