Well I never had spam issues, until 0.18 forced captchas to be disabled. Thankfully the bots just seem to be signing up, not doing much yet. Using fake emails that never get verified....
This platform could be a viable alternative for forums (cuz we know in which state they currently are), but the lack of general attachments (any mime/file type) is what I believe stands in the way. I have an electronics forum I run (a local one, nothing too serious) and I believe Lemmy can make it more intereactive (not die out)...
Memmy is an early fave (posting from it now) but it reminds me so much of the Dec-Feb app development days for Mastodon. So many fun options to try out!

There is a big difference between mild NSFW and full on porno. Suppose there is a News story with photo/video but it’s a little bit graphic or violent. Nobody is jacking off to that. Maybe shouldn’t view it at work, but in the library is fine....
Please. Captcha by default. Email domain filters. Auto-block federation from servers that don’t respect. By default. Urgent....

in the process of deleting every comment of my lemmy.world account, and permanently joining some instance that does not censor stuff
Today, a bunch of new instances appeared in the top of the user count list. It appears that these instances are all being bombarded by bot sign-ups....
If you still have a reddit account, please hop in the reddit comments to show support....
The GitHub repo that provides a comparison table of different lemmy instances now includes the version of lemmy that’s installed...
I’ve been so used to judging a post just by its popularity on reddit, but it’s actually so much more useful to have an idea of the downvote ratio. I’m glad we have that here....
Is it possible to block entire instances? I see I can block by user or community, but not by instance....
If you’re a Lemmy dev and reading this, the problem is in pict-rs. I have sent an email to asonix with the needed changes, please tell them to check their inbox (since I can’t register on their git server, I can’t submit a formal PR)....

Hi, I used to be the moderator of the (now dead) LibreOffice community. After a while, I kinda forgot about Lemmy and went back to lurking Reddit, using Teddit and RedReader. In light of the API protests, I decided to come back here to see how Lemmy was doing, and I’m surprised by the amount of users it’s getting!...
So that if you paste a link to one of those big social media platforms, it offers to replace it with a working alternative front-end.

Hey there, I wanted to join some communities in the programming.dev instance, but it doesn’t seem to be connected to any other instance (I can’t see it from my account’s instance and its community list also only has its own communities). The signup form also freezes if I try to make an account on the instance directly. Am...
I wrote a guide to help users with their migration to Lemmy...
Whereas I might’ve been less generous with upvotes on Reddit, I think it’s important in these early formative stages to let others know that I appreciate their contributions. I hope it encourages growth and activity!
