The weekly post is a good idea. I'll look into maybe creating a bot for that in the future.

But it would be nice to have a resource where you can easily leave a comment saying a community doesn’t exist anymore or it moved or whatever.

Couldn't anyone just reply to the deleted community comment link with something like ?

I think most communities wind up kinda just going idle rather than deleted. The big communities have such power in numbers, it's very difficult to sustain them without a mass influx like TenForward did. A few others have succeeded.

I think this just gives a little tool to the small communities that might need it, and it could improve Lemmy overall with more interesting and active smaller communities. The top 50 communities should really be in a constant flux if Lemmy is going to improve over time. Preferably on not just LW as well...

already did :) the idea behind /c/index is just that it can be a passive tool for when people need it. I'll consider a weekly post as someone else suggested to keep it active.

Is there a site that shows the status of all the lemmy servers? I saw the graph in your link, but I don't fully understand what it means.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Seems to be mostly just a list of largest communities because it uses active users, posts, and comments as metrics. Top five are /technology /worldnews /no stupid questions /news /games all at lemmy.world

If it had option to filter newest community & scaled activity that would be neat. Lemmy needs some new communities, and the tools to allow them to grow - that's what made reddit grow and improve (until enshittification smothered it).

Is everyone 5 days behind LW? I don't quite really grasp how exactly there is a 5 day lag, shouldn't Lemmy be close to real time? I don't fully understand what's going on in those charts but it looks like the delay will be gone in a few weeks/months?

As far as hosting it on a different instance, this is just kinda a playful experiment. If it goes well anyone can copy the list and put it a version of it on their server.

I clicked 5 of the links in the lemmydirectory github/wiki list and all of them the last post was 1 year ago. That's what kinda sucks about all the indexes is that they're either the extremely popular communities which show up in the communities tab, or extremely dead communities. The goal is to get a list of extremely active smaller communities and without changing Lemmy source code myself, this is the next best thing I could think of to make a list like that.

I found this community and thought it was kinda interesting.

An attempt to start an index of communities on Lemmy for people to find new topics.

This community is intended to act an index of new and active smaller and harder to find communities. Post new communities in one of the 5 primary posts.

Anyone can post new communities, just please abide by the format in the sidebar.

You can find new daily communities with this link:

~~lemmy.world/communities?listingType=Local&sort=New&page=1~~

~~It's not the best tool, but it allows you to see which communities have some activity and which are just dead spuds.~~

EDIT: There is a need for diversification from LW as recent events show the admins have a different view of censorship than a majority of the community members. Please use this link: https://lemmyverse.net/communities to diversify subscriptions beyond the two largest instances and feel free to post them here.

I'm open to suggestions on the descriptions of the 5 primary topics - I just ran with what I thought was a good descriptor of 5 different categories.

Feel free to use your own personal subscriptions of communities to add here. The idea is that this place can be a community pasteboard.

 

They changed the algorithm on Dec 7, 2016.

Before: https://web.archive.org/web/20161206000344/https://www.reddit.com/

After: https://web.archive.org/web/20161208000333/https://www.reddit.com/

Best guess, based off the vote count differences of those two days, is that if you see a vote with 100,000 count, it's likely closer to 20,000 count (divide by roughly 5 or so).

There was a post about it by KeyserSosa on Dec 6, so it's not some conspiracy or anything.

I figured YSK.

 

Need a few additional mods to aid in occasionally removing posts or comments that violate the rules in the sidebar, mostly incivility.

They're not going to change a thing unless people make them.

Find your local state delegate and personally tell them how you feel a centrist is only going to guarantee another Republican victory. They are listed here: https://ballotpedia.org/Democratic_National_Committee

Bernie Sanders is working behind the scenes to get a progressive in there but he can't do it alone.
