Definitely. On !casualconversation@lemm.ee we listed a few non tech communities in the sidebar, feel free to have a look

Thank you!

Does it actually work? All of the jobs are “in progress” except one one the homepage

Interesting, feel free to crosspost to !communitypromo@lemmy.ca or even !newcommunities@lemmy.world

I voted (and I hope everyone else commenting here did as well, I guess comments alone won’t be aggregated into the results)

Very good point

Seeing it from dormi.zone

Good to see Lemmy compatibility!

Mastodon has groups similar to Lemmy communities, Threads could definitely implement them too.

Nice!

Thank you for chiming in!

But that’s a stupid way of going about it, just message the posters to let them know about tagging it with it’s proper language or just block the user. Pointlessly downvoting everything you see won’t get the message accross.

Definitely.

I just checked on a new account on SJW, all languages are enabled by default. Probably an issue to raise to the Lemm.ee admins.

Seems strange. I registered an alt not so long ago and I remember being able to view all the languages from the get go.

Maybe that’s an instance-dependent thing.

If the language issue wasn’t there it wouldn’t honestly be much different from reddit.

It’s interesting because a lot of non-English speaking communities complain about users downvoting their content because they don’t understand it, so it seems like they have the exact opposite issues that you do.

Hello,

What is the current experience for a new account? I throught all languages were visible by default, and that users could opt out if they wanted?

Mastodon still implements privacy and blocking to an extend: https://nerdschalk.com/make-mastodon-account-private/

So it’s still possible even within the Fediverse to have more granularity.

That’s what I thought too, but then I had a look at Sharkey (and I guess Mastodon does the same), and it is possible to have private profile, that needs to accept requests before people are able to follow them.

So I guess it’s still possible even with ActivityPub?

I agree. I’ve seen cases of harassment before when one person would block the other, but then the blocked person would comment on most of the blocker comments to harass them further.

Key forks are much more aesthetically pleasing

If you just cross post everything, most of the people will stay on the previous one

Negative:

1. Ask the community if they would be okay to move. If there is a big backlash, just stay there.
2. Open the new community on the new instance, add the sidebar, the banner, everything to make it look like the previous one.
3. Post the the old community a link to the new community. Lock the old community.
4. Add a few posts to the new community to make the transition smoother
