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:

1. user@lemmy.world makes a comment in lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/main
2. 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

Being able to see a list of all the communities of an instance, without having to actually go to that instance.

Then being able to add whichever community from there with a simple button click.

E.g. I’m on lemmy.one, I can go to lemmy.one/communities to see all the local communities. Now I’d like to go to lemmy.one/communities@lemmy.ml or similar, to see a complete list of lemm.ml’s instances. Then, when I click “subscribe” next to e.g. “Comics” there, the community should be added to lemmy.one if it isn’t already and subscribe me that way.

Also links to communities should automatically be changed to local links. lemmy.ml/c/Comics would become lemmy.one/c/Comics@lemmy.ml If it doesn’t already exist on the local instance, clicking on it should not display a 404, but a message that it is being added and available soon.

It’s a pain in the ass to go to each instance, copy the URL of each community and then pasting it to the search of my local one. Then wait for it to be indexed and finally being able to subscribe.

Let’s direct them to lemmy.helvetet.eu then… 🤘

We are the Borg, resistance is futile!

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.

This sounds interesting. I see two possibilities for that:

• Let downvotes from external users be less effective
• Display up/down ratio twice, once from local votes and once from external votes; plus only have the local ones affect sorting

Actually when I think about it, a combination of both would also be possible.

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. ;)

It would be nice if on creating a new community which already exists on another instance, a recommendation is displayed. Something like

/c/whatever already exists on the following instances:

• lemmy.ml/c/whatever (xyz subscribers)
• beehaw.org/c/whatever (ab subscribers)

You would probably reach more lemmings there.
Would you still like to continue creating your_insurance.com/c/whatever?

Right now where each instance doesn’t yet know many remote instances, it would not work that good yet, but once instances have more users that already added many remote communities it could work great.

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.

Ah yes I can see, trying to manually add communities form there via search results in “No results.” instead of parsing that community.

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.
