Just wanted to let you know incase you are not aware, you can uncheck "show bot accounts" under settings, as long as the bot is marked appropriately you will no longer see bot posts.
We are listening to the input here, and will have a discussion around the topic.
Such as the most populated, most active, or most secluded if that's what you like. It's a good thing OP, we are not locked down to one community in the event that one goes crazy.
100% agree, no way it'll be $40k. Still crazy that as of 2021 there were 1.5M orders, which means they've been holding and most likely making interest on $150,000,000+
Sorry, took me longer than expected to get to this. Ran one test so far (don't want to spam) and it successfully put the title in the "body" of the post - let me know if it gives you issues please
Yeah, I believe that's due to a Lemmy title character limit. Would it suffice for me to include the full title in the body of the post?
The only other thing I can think of is trying to have the title cut off at a "." or change the last "," of the title to "." if it exceeds the limit, or if neither exists but it exceeds just not post the article. But that might cause interesting articles to not be posted, which I think is less desirable - and might make some weird titles like "Today, in New Hampshire." instead of "Today, in New Hampshire, we looked at Lemmy and it was unbelievably awesome beyond what we thought it would be."
Open to suggestions there, as I agree the "..." posts are not as easy to understand without clicking.
I've disallowed viewing bot accounts since day one, mostly to avoid inane joke response bots as they were so prevalent on reddit.
I did the same thing for the same reason, and was my initial reasoning for not marking L4s. When I read "bots" my initial thought was the useless pun bots, or autocorrect bots, etc.
My plan to make mine different was if someone didn't receive a comment back on a less visible post, to comment back on L3s to keep conversations going, as the communities I've focused on are ones I enjoyed on [website we don't name] and genuinely enjoyed engaging there. I did that semi-successfully, but didn't consider that the majority of people wouldn't want to even see a content bot, and that was my mistake.
Pride put aside, lesson learned and hopefully L4s can continue to help.
Sorry, I'm not sure what this has to do with popularity? I turned it on because an admin of another instance requested me to do so in a PM, I've also stated elsewhere that I would probably leave it on regardless what admins say since people are making valid points: here
Since this seems to be more problematic than I thought it was, I've enabled the bot button while we wait for a response. It will probably remain on regardless of what the admins say here, but I'd still like their input.
To everyone who has an issue with it; I apologize, my intentions are not malicious. I am only trying to help grow Lemmy.World and jump-start its communities.
If you look at the posts by L4s, they're filled with users engaging with each other. So you wouldn't be shouting into the wind per se, but I understand your point.
And respectfully, I don’t think it’s up to you to make that distinction for users that choose to opt out of seeing bot accounts.
Not to sound rude here, but I feel the same about you asking me to check that box.
Again, if the admins request me to check it, I will do it - or if the Code of Conduct changes. Lets see what they say in the post you made on !support@lemmy.world and go from there.
