Most communities are not the sole community related to their topic, there are really often other communities on the same, or similar topics.

An example: there are a tonne of art related comunities, but only a small handful of them have links to other related communities.

It would be great if there was more of a culture of propping up semi-related communities. This would be particularly useful for helping more niche communities get rolling.

    The moderators on lemmy are just as bad as on reddit in some cases. Fuck your local moderator, in some cases.

    They are the reason lemmy doesn’t take off, it’s the same dynamic, every person in authority backs up their compatriots. From government to reddit to lemmy, it’s all the same.

    I don’t want to call the moderators fucking losers, but it’s accurate in some cases. And all moderators will back them up. And it is why lemmy is a backwater that enjoys no expansion of the user base.

    Without addressing that, this is all pointless. There should be clear rules, enforced equally, with appeals, leading to a jury trial of members for enforcement actions. Without that, we are just a mini reddit.

      I’m not sure what about my comment made you feel that “fuck you” was an appropriate response, but I assure you it was not.

      Your comment history, including some comments in this post, are full of insults, rude remarks, and flaming. I can see exactly why you’ve had messages removed by moderators.

      That’s not a Lemmy problem, that’s a you problem. It’s not hard interacting with other people without sweeping insults.

        You are lying. I am polite to everybody that isn’t a piece of fucking shit. Or expousing a wrong opinion.

        You are a person that tries to get people cancelled that you can’t argue against with reason.
