So far Lemmy is vibing. Everyone here is excited and optimistic and willing to put up with a few rough spots to be part of something.

When the Eternal September comes, which it will, how does a Lemmy instance deal with bad actors?

There should be a limit on how many communities you can run, period. This is how we got super-mods like GallowBoob on Reddit

I upvoted this post and I saw a popup "report created" this is not what I intended, I completely agree with this.

I've seen spontaneous "report created" molesΒΉ as well. It's not clear to me that a report is actually being created; it seems like a UI bug.

ΒΉ "mole" : a pop-up div that appears from the bottom of the page.

Mole? What's the difference between a mole and a toast?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm not sure. I'm not a frontend dev myself; "mole" was the term I heard from people who were.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Oh. I think they are most commonly called "toasts". Called such, because they pop up from the bottom like toast from a toaster. I've also heard them just referred to as "alerts" or "notifications", but I think that's a bit ambiguous. Android likes to call interactive ones "snack bars", which is kind of silly. "Moles" is new to me as a term for them, but I think it's quite fitting too, yeah, I like it

Oh phew, that happened to me earlier - I thought I had accidentally submitted a false report

And how does that stop them creating multiple accounts to multiply the limit? It doesn't.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Agreed on both of these. I made four within my first day or so, with three being pretty niche to very niche, and one with the potential to get large if Lemmy continues to grow. After I made that, I called it quits; I made new homes for my favorite Reddit communities and I know that's all I can likely handle if they take off.
