Thank you for the post and initiative!

Just a post on !fediverse@lemmy.world explaining the issue in a few lines. A link to the existing ticket. Ending with an open call for people who might be interested in forking the existing project.

What we need is more homegrown communities that grow naturally by attracting people.

That's probably the biggest issue.

How are people supposed to hear about Lemmy at the moment?

• a few subs like /r/RedditAlternatives
• a comment that might mention it, but quickly removed or deleted

Reddit got really popular when it started to become the "one place to find answers about anything". And it still is to an extend. While Reddit is still there, it will be hard for Lemmy to really emerge.

We've been stagnating at 48k-50k for the last few months, there is a risk of more and more people leaving over time, leading to the end of the platform

Would you like to do it?

I posted a bit to !cozyplaces@lemm.ee but stopped, maybe that's something that would be worth investigating.

Thanks!

I guess we all hope, but we can probably also take some actions.

With the natural user inertia, I don't see people leaving Reddit in mass except if some communities start to actively doing it.

I usually use links that way because that's how they come up using the dropdown suggestions from the Lemmy web UI.

Probably something to open a ticket for on the GitHub

Yeah, I added that link to the post.

When I made my first comment, the link they posted was the original one, which is why I was confused.

Pinging @hitstun@fedia.io, really love your community by the way!

Very interesting

Interesting, on the web UI the link is under the title:

Doesn't that link show up in the post? Genuine question, I know some Lemmy clients can be a bit messy with that

there’s evidence that they run a modified version of Lemmy which gives them additional levers of control.

If you are referring to them removing things from the modlog, isn't that possible to every admin by removing lines in the database?

Great post, thank you!

It is pinned on their instance:

Feel free, but good luck finding one instance still on 0.19.3 in a few weeks

Can't those be found anywhere? Seems very cool

No, and I wouldn’t. I created this community specifically for reporting bugs when bug trackers are in bad places like Github:

Feel free, but if the Lemmy developers don't come here, the chances of your bug to be fixed are quite low
