There'll be some post replies which will be like "there's two really good community search engines y don't u use those?" to which I'd reply "well, yeah, but sometimes community names aren't intuitively obvious until you know. Like /r/trees <- wasn't really about trees." Or a fan community might be named something that only a fan would know, like star wars --> /c/moseislycantina. So even tho there are two good search engines for community exploration there's still value add in this sub methinks.
ah. just obvious spam and obvious troll community/magazine requests. NSFW ("where do I find the donkey porn?" etc.). Bogus or troll community recommendation responses (I don't know exactly what that might look like... (like asking about the Matrix movies and being redirected to /c/theredpill? dunno)) or anyone being rude or disruptive.
For the time being as the Reddxile continues and Lemmy grows, am going easy on missplaced "related" posts like announcements of communities (should go -> !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca ) or instances, but have been recommending ppl remove and repost in the better community. Keep this one for "where do I find a community/instance for _____" type things.
Enforce the things over there (which I totally stole from /r/411) -->
Yep. Tho how many of those are redundant communities across multiple instances. Still, very exciting times for the lemmyverse.
I think the big killer feature (if this can even be done) is to associate like named communities from different instances. Like destiny@lemmy.world <--> destiny@lemmy.ca marry up and start subscribing/replicating each other's content.
Well, every instance has a "main" community that all users of the instance are sub'd to by default (if I'm not mistaken). Here on lemmy.camain its sidebar says
Since everyone on lemmy.ca gets subscribed here, this is the place to chat about the goings on at lemmy.ca, support-type items, suggestions, etc.
yeah there was some inbound federation struggles with lemmy.ca the past few days, those might still be persisting. its where I'm homed, it works great from the inside! :)
Cool - done. As I told @aqua@feddit.de, I've been allowing some more requests or meta or questions this past week in the interest of promoting Reddxiles growth, but over the next week we should encourage discovery only posts. Community requests can be redirected to !lemmy411@lemmy.ca and meta questions, Lemmy/Kbin help can go to.... actually I don't have a strong contender for where to send those yet. The community searches spit back a lot of results related to 'help' and 'ask' but at quick glance there isn't a clear contender for "lemmy/kbin help". Thoughts?
Cool. spam and obvious stuff can be removed, but I've been allowing more "where do I?/what community?" type things to help spread Reddxile adoption. Suggest they take subreddit err community requests (that's gonna be a hard habit to break) over to !lemmy411@lemmy.ca or use the search engine at https://browse.feddit.de/
dunno, first time moderating anything, so what do I know.
Cans has source? I've been hacking on a per-instance community scraper (that pulls a list of communities from the community directory page) for !lemmy411!lemmy411@lemmy.ca, in an attempt to have a regularly published community list, but I'm a bit bogged.
