Amazing!

Thank you!

Interesting, who was that?

Username checks out

Not sure about how it’s calculated, hopefully someone else can help

Amazing, thank you !

Could be an improvement indeed

Exactly

Sounds good, see you around!

Amazing!

Also new users complain a lot that there are 5 different communities for everything and they can’t tell what’s the difference

Piefed consolidated view solves that.

But the entire situation with the fragmentation isn’t optimal. And I want to be part of the solution, not contribute to the problem.

If there is no “quality discussion about technology” community that exist, and none of the existing communities want to raise their standards, it is not going to magically appear. Creating it, as long as it’s with other people (hence the post on !fedigrow) would be a solution rather than a problem.

I mean I’ve always done whatever I liked here.

If you want to work on features that improve the discussion quality directly in Piefed, that would of course be welcome.

But I’m very adamant in my opinion that I think we now need to move to the next milestone and tackle that. We need to diversify and make other topics work as well. I failed a bit to recognize people are pointing me towards communities because that’s kind of what they do there. Including you. So sorry, I needed some time to think about that. And then I also think we need a quality campaign. Or at least a way to curate stuff better than we currently do. And I’m not sure if we agree on that. Sure you’re not “not allowing [me] do to” that. But I need to gather some people here to pull it off. All I can say is I put up with whatever the Threadiverse is. But I’d like to invite more people. And I know my friends aren’t looking for quantity. They’re looking for quality. Even if it’s a quieter place. And seems quality and atmosphere isn’t where it needs to be for them, or they wouldn’t on average turn away again. So… I think you want the platform to appeal more to people who are used to Reddit. Who want a good stream of stuff to scroll through. I want to cater to people who are different, they need the kickstart phase of a community to tone down to a point where they see more quality stuff and discussion. Right now I have to postpone inviting people due to how this place is. And I’d really like to invite them now, that’s why I want to pull it off in the near future, not postpone it to a vague future, or leave things as they are.

So to summarize, you want better quality in existing communities. Well, then the next steps is to reach out to existing communities are raise them your issue, the same way you did with [email protected] . For that one, you didn’t have much luck, as I said I would prefer to keep the reposts to have at least more than one active poster. You might have more luck elsewhere.

And if you can’t find any existing community willing to implement your suggestions, then you might have to create your own community. You already seemed to have found a few people who share your perspective, so you can probably assemble a group and then create that community together.

If what you are looking for is a mechanism in Piefed to automatically ensure better quality of a community, I’m afraid it’s not really realistic. You and Rimu suggested a few options in another thread, but there seems to be more important issues at the moment, such as the API support for the mobile apps, lemmy-federate support and many others.

The 6-month MAU cover users that haven’t logged in since January…

It also covers users who gave it a try after the [email protected] movement, but didn’t stick around.

[email protected] is the only one I found that fits the description of your last paragraph.

And yeah, communities are usually too niche to survive. People keep creating them and then dropping them a few weeks later.

And now it indeed works, great! :)

Thank you!

Upvoting the comments would be even easier.

That’s probably the limit of trying to identify “good OP behaviour” using rules and metrics. Those are going to be public due to the open source nature of the platform, or reverse engineered fast enough by people interested in bypassing the controls

It would still be trivial to code a bot that would answer a variant of “thank you for your comment” to every comment posted

Also not every comment requires an answer. Most of the time when I get a comment on ! [email protected] , it’s usually something along the lines of “nice idea!” or “well done!”, there really isn’t much to answer to that

Having metrics tracking comments can be counterproductive to having meaningful conversations
