I’d forgotten about that guy! Loved him and can honestly say he’s one genuine thing about that place that I miss.
Awesome idea! Signed up immediately but am curious about the payment options, I’m seeing options to sign up for an instance of mastodon, or 10 accounts, or one account with the single account being $9 yearly?
My question is, will I have to pay every single month for every account that I own?
For example, if I have an account on mastodon, lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, lemmy.nsfw, beehaw etc. Would I have to pay for all of them individually?
I’m probably missing something! It’s just that while $9 a year for a single mastodon account is cheap @ less than $1 a month, I’d like to have every possible instance available for this one account which under my understanding would cost me hundreds every year?
It’s a great idea, don’t think I’m shitting on it in any way! Just asking questions bc I’d like to use it just not sure I want to pay for every individual instance I join

Well shit, now the links don’t work for me :(
This is stupid
Yess… teach me about the federation… my Lord
Almost a dozen dozens!
Hmm… but what if I’m on the federated instance in theory? Assuming I’d see it then sorry I’m still figuring this place out

It’s still getting it’s bearings but should be g2g in a little bit
There’s a mechanic advice community that’s not memey…
Hey I have a question because this actually interests me and contrary to popular opinionn on this sub I think this idea would work!
Since migrating I’ve found myself wanting to search Reddit dozens of times for content I needed but was too damned pissed to provide them with any traffic.
My input is: it seems that the main beef of most people here is the lack of engagement, making Lemmy seem like a ghost town. Would we be able to comment on the mirrored posts (on Lemmy) thus solving the engagement problem? I’m no techspert but feel like allowing comments underneath mirrored posts for Lemmy, not Reddit would be possible I guess? Or at least some equivalent?
I’m also interested in this because I have my own little feed I’m setting up, and it would be cool to be able to add more content very easily. I don’t really want it to be from Reddit but, just anything different I could do would be nice, and hey if there is something important I’d like to add from there or even just to take notes that’d be nice so I for one would use it.
A bridge that allows us access to reddits content, driving up their traffic (and server costs) - the whole reason for the API changes WHILE refusing them any engagement? Sounds like a win-win to me.
I figured you could! That is strange. I searched it just now and got it, the only difference I can think of other than being on sh.itjust.works would maybe be the app you’re using? I’m not savvy enough to have much of a guess tbh but it would be nice if people could find us!
I know I was bummed out when I couldn’t find a community for it, one of the biggest miffs I had about leaving Reddit!
It’s only really been active for a little bit, maybe that’s why? Aside from that, I’d guess that maybe it’s an issue with different instances though couldn’t say for certain as I’m Lemmy inept. Are you on Lemmy.world?
There’s a mechanic advice community now on lemmy.world (I think?) And we’re not… idk, not bad yet I haven’t seen any ugliness myself as of yet. Hopefully it will stay that way!
Fuck Reddit, but I also feel like Boost will give us a boost. It’s got some features I’ve yet to find on other apps and hopefully will make Lemmy a little easier for people like me who made the switch
It’s also pretty much exactly like the app for reddit was which had a big following so hopefully will make it easier for former boost on Reddit users to switch to lemmy
Welcome!
Didn’t know anyone would be interested! Here ya go https://lemmy.world/c/mechanicadvice join, comment and post away! If there’s anything you’d like to see in the community let me or someone else know, we’re still figuring it out
Haven’t seen too much negativity on lemmy.ml or lemmy.world but did want to say that we have a Mechanic Advice community that’s growing a little every day if you’re into that stuff. It’s a fetus now but will be grown in no time
Oh, and the community is https://lemmy.world/c/mechanicadvice for anyone interested!
I feel like providing an email is a much better alternative to having your account blanket banned due to creating it at a certain time.
If not emails maybe just being stricter when checking to see if the one creating an account is human?
Yeah that worries me. Was definitely just a lurker at first while I got used to the place. They didn’t ban me so I’m still here. Never had issues making or keeping accounts before but here lately it’s been such a hassle. Instagram has taken to banning me immediately, I had to make 10 accounts in a row before they didn’t immediately ban one.
Worst part is they don’t tell you why and you can’t fight it. I feel like it’s bc I use a VPN then lurk but idk. never another account there, not worth it. Facebook did the same thing a few times until something finally clicked in their system and they quit deleting them.
Tiktok has apparently done the same damn thing as I went to use my account the other day just to be informed it was deleted or banned I don’t remember.
Think it said to check my email, which I frequently do and there was no mail saying my account was going to be deleted much less why.
It’s ridiculous and rather than making a new account I just exit the site now.
So deleting them all? I don’t really agree (though I hope they were indeed bots!)
I think what would make more sense is to be more strict when users actually create the accounts in the first place. I feel like those “select all the images with bikes” are ridiculous, I’m human and half the time Google or wherever says I didn’t get it right but there HAS to be a simpler, better way.
I get hit with those all of the time, I think everyone with a VPN does so a few additional steps wouldn’t be such a big deal and imo would be far less annoying than logging in and realizing your account was blanket banned without explanation just bc you happened to create it while bot accounts were being made.
Would help even more if users had a string bot report feature where it was taken seriously. It could be pretty simple. See a bot? Report it.
The reviewer of the report, instead of just blanket banning should maybe contact the user first to check and see if they’re human. As far as user retention it’s better than just banning every bot we think we have.
Where is this set up at? I’d like to see
