It's also about search engine indexing. It's happening slowly, but I've noticed Lemmy posts are finally beginning to show up in Google/Bing search results. As this trend improves, more people will stumble here by accident and then join out of curiosity.

You are correct. The first group of people to join is usually the most active because they believe in the project.

The captcha and text prompt to join definitely helps. Having those types of simple security measures prevents people from automatically making hundreds of bot accounts, and I think is just as if not more worthwhile than verified emails for making sure that the people here are actual people.

I think the hot algorithm here is weighted better. It pulls up brand new comments on a similar weight to older comments with hundreds of points, which makes people more likely to see and interact with new comments. The Activity and New Comments post sorts also prioritize ongoing discussions, which I think is pretty cool.

I wouldn't mind it, but I think a Discord-like reaction system might be better than the Reddit award system. I'm open though to either or neither.

Can I complain about people complaining about complaining?

Lemmy.world went under for a bit while they fixed server issues and upgraded the efficiency of the Lemmy backend, my guess is that would cause the dip in average posts.

I follow a similar philosophy, except I do downvote the mean but not rule breaking content. While it's not bad enough to justify removal, I do still want to discourage people being mean on this platform. For most disagreeable opinions, I'll either move on or reply with my point of view.

I think they theoretically can be used well, and I've tried to be more reserved in how I use them here on Lemmy, but I agree often times they can become culturally toxic. I'm glad Lemmy has a better culture so far, we're really building something great here I think.

I'm super excited for all the development here. I'm looking forward for Boost for Lemmy, but I'm also really enjoying wefwef (soon to be Voyager) and the active development is really exciting to me.

Now that's exciting, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished app

Humans are resistors. We just need to create a chain of people, and the more we add the more resistance the circuit will have too.

Um, I think someone may have hit you upside the head because it's obvious and clear that my way is the best.

Yeah, I can tell why this is from adhddd.com, it's all about assertiveness. People with ADHD in general (including myself, to an extent) have trouble with being assertive, so most of the phrases in this chart try to change a meek or mild-mannered response to a more assertive one. I think part of the struggle of life is finding balance because while some of these are generally improvements, others are generally worse, and the difference will depend on the tone you're going for and the person that you're sending the email.

With a name like @redditcunts, this one is probably a troll. Just block them.

Honestly, for some software this is the answer. The other one with hackers is that it's usually easier to trick an employee into giving you the master password than finding an obscure exploit in their codebase, though it does still happen.

That's purposeful I think. The difference between men and women's glasses is fairly subtle, but I have definitely noticed that men's glasses lend a more masculine look to someone and women's glasses lend a more feminine look to someone.
We are now the 16th largest instance on Lemmyverse, with 497 weekly active users and 712 monthly active users. Great job everybody, we are doing great. The community that we've cultivated here is really friendly and the server has been running very well. Also, remember that if you're enjoying the Lemmy experience here to donate to our admin @pyarra@vlemmy.net using the links on the sidebar, donations are what keep Lemmy sustainable and allow our admins not to have to resort to things like ads to keep the instances running.
Howdy, everybody. I'm posting this here in an attempt to begin to move some information that is currently only stored on Reddit over to Lemmy instead, that way we'll start coming up in Google searches and we can get our information locally. I'll post my source in the comments if anyone's interested. Problem: When running yay, either to install or update a package, you get an error along the lines of `rm: cannot remove '~/.cache/yay/arbitrary-file': Permission denied`. Solution: Oftentimes, it's because your permissions are wrong. You can either use chmod ([helpful article](https://www.howtogeek.com/437958/how-to-use-the-chmod-command-on-linux/)) or you can use your file explorer (for Dolphin you right-click, go to properties, and then permissions) and give the build directory to give the build directory, usually ~/.cache/yay, read and modify permissions for both your user and your group, and make sure to give it to all of the subdirectories and files too. If ~/.cache/yay is not your build directory, it will be specified by the yay config, which is usually ~/.config/yay/config.json. Hope this helps any prospective Linux users, having the information about and available I think is good for the community. Note: This is probably the cause and solution of a lot of other permission-denied problems for yay, but I can only confirm for myself. Edit: Improved formatting.

I've been talking with [@pyarra@vlemmy.net](https://vlemmy.net/u/pyarra), and we agreed it would be best to discuss this as a community. What are all of your thoughts on defederating instances with loli and shota? My thoughts will be posted in the comments.
Right now, we're the number one recommended instance to join on the join-lemmy.org site, and we are also one of 3 recommended instances in the [awesome-lemmy-instances](https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances) page. We may be small, but so far we're doing great!
Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder from a member of one of your mod teams. Don't forget to report bad actors, malicious bots, or rulebreakers whenever you see them. [vlemmy.net](https://vlemmy.net/) is a rapidly growing instance and as more people join, post, and comment, it will get harder for the admins/moderators to keep up. Reporting helps the admins/moderators immediately address bad behavior, making the community better for everyone and easing everyone's workload, so remember to report.
Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder from your mod team. Don't forget to report bad actors, malicious bots, or rulebreakers whenever you see them. [!asklemmy@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/asklemmy) is one of the larger communities in the threadverse and it's hard to keep up, even with a larger mod team, so please report bad behavior.
