…image hosting is actually handled as an auxiliary service called pict-rs, which runs alongside a given Lemmy instance. While pict-rs itself works fine for handling uploads, downloads, and modifications to pictures, the devs neglected to add anything to Lemmy’s interface to handle deletions. In fact, the platform as a whole lacks any tooling for moderating images whatsoever.

If you can’t tell from the name it’s not going to work well.

A gaming instance would take a lot of load.

I remember Reddit days when 5k upvotes was off the charts.

It’s better on “small card” instead of “list” view.

It’s not an instance problem, it’s a Lemmy sorting/loading/ranking problem. It doesn’t seem to show very well popular posts from other instances like beehaw or lemmy.ml.

I signed up with lemmy.ca and I regret it. It doesn’t load “all” content very well so I have to hunt to find content. Hopefully they will fix it.

Email providers aren’t likely to shut down. But from what I know instances may.

I like your points.

Short term they need to work on the “all front page”. It doesn’t seem to give me popular posts from all instances, it’s full of 2 to 3 to 4 day old posts that were never very popular. I have to manually go around (like to this community) to find content.

I hope so. These mergers aren’t good for the consumer.

Is that desktop? I’m talking mobile.

But please continue to mod unpaid and unappreciated!

They didn’t have a mobile app for the longest time, that’s why 3rd party became so popular. They just don’t seem to get how to run it.

I’m curious how well niche communities will work. It seems too niche here, like it’s hard to find, hard to grow.

Like I do alternative keyboard layouts. If someone on Reddit wants to find it, it’s rather easy and everyone in that community is there (there are dozens of us, dozens!). But on lemmy I think those dozens will be spread out more.

They have ultimate control over the website. They can remove mods they don’t like at any time, change the settings, and ask for new mods.
