Different languages, not that easy to go from one to another

FYI @PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat @catloaf@lemm.ee as you appear on the screenshots

Interesting, there is a similar project called Mobilizon: https://joinmobilizon.org/en/

Oh, it is

What worked for me: I had to edit the sidebar from an account that’s on the same instance that the community is hosted on.

That's it. Moderation fully works from a local account, not for federated accounts

If you see it, feel free to report here in this community.

I would probably just suggest merging the plantid community to a more general gardening community.

I see where you come from with "forced activity", but on the other hand, if someone wants to post and sees that the last post is 1 month old, they might doubt that the community is active or they are just going to post into the void.

Happy to help. Yes, that's pretty much the conclusion we made.

Seems to completely miss the point of federation.

Lemmy currently has 45k monthly active users: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats

Centralized alternatives:

• Discuit has less than 250: https://discuit.net/DiscuitMeta/post/9JPo3q0m
• Tildes doesn't have numbers, but based on activity, it seems similar to Discuit
• Blue Dwarf has 50

There was a thread yesterday on /r/RedditAlternatives talking about "how do you attract users to a new alternatives", most of the comments where about how difficult it is: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1g4zcdi/for_those_of_you_who_started_your_own_alternative/

Based on this, I would say that Lemmy allowing everyone to open a server helps in that regard. Instance admins are more confident in the platform as they have control on this. Users trust admins.

migration between federated entities so that it doesn’t feel like as much of a chore to jump between instances.

Migration takes two clicks from the account settings, are you referring to something else?

Isn't that hate speech?

Hey,

Thank you for jumping here!
