The Summit app can to this

Semi off topic, but isn’t the subscriber count badge useless now since Lemmy fixed their reporting of that?

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.

A post will federate to every instance that has at least 1 subscriber of that community. If you want to get your communities federating to other instances and get them more popular, use this tool

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. [email protected] 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

If it’s not working in Photon, you could try a different frontend, like a mobile app. I think Jerboa and Boost can do it

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

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4471

I think this happens automatically when they see activity coming from your instance? I guess if you use your instance to upvote and comment on stuff then it’ll refresh the status?

or I think servers recheck dead instances on a scheduled task, every 24 hours

here’s the tracked issue for “Instance agnostic links” https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2987

deleted by creator

It only counts the single most recent comment, so a handful of recent comments or just 1 single recent comment makes no difference.

It’s the combination of most recent comment with the number of upvotes. If this post’s most recent comment is an hour old but the post has 300 upvotes, that’s better than a post with a 10 minute old comment and only 10 upvotes for the post.

I’m not aware of any recent changes to it but idk for sure.

Active sort is not based on when the post was created, it’s based on the age of the most recent comment. Those all have a lot of comments and upvotes so I think it makes sense for them to be at the top of Active.

Can you share some example screenshots with links to the posts?

the search function will not search remote objects when you are not logged in, it prevents abuse of the API and server resources
