I wish we could tell whether it was the admins or subreddit moderators using these silencing tactics.
I suppose Discord, GitHub, Steam Forums and YouTube would be better places to bring up the topic.
Lemmy has 462k users and 45k MAU, we could use a bit more content and support for our developers and instance maintainers.
Try to only get the good ones ;-)
I will try to avoid bringing in the stragglers from r/carnivore, r/conservative, r/canada, r/britishcolumbia.
I’ll try using Morse code
Attract the geeks & nerds! Good plan.
Surely it’s better that Lemmy is mostly found by those curious enough to go searching? The lower the effort required to get onboard, the lower the effort of posts that follow. Currently Lemmy has a bit of a Reddit-2006 vibe and that’s far better. Quiet, true, but volume doesn’t equal quality and sufficient volume certainly brings the attention of bots and shills.
Lemmy is no more elite or exclusive than Reddit.
I’m finding it’s much smaller volume but the conversations are more genuine with less low effort filler and puns in between. But YMMV…
True but more artists would be involved. I really miss BrookValley and wish she was here posting 🥺

Well… For search algo, who is she and what’s her art?
She basically makes really cute comics that are really relatable!
BrookValley we got demand!!!
Maybe contact her? Ask if we can mirror her stuff here with her credentials and so on. Win win?
I could ask her to join Blahaj.zone!
Yes! Please do!
See you on blåhaj!
Is the moderating team for sure. The mods of r/Brasil are also the admins of my lemmy instance and you can find pinned comments promoting lemmy on the subreddit.
That’s so mystifying, why would they do the bidding of Spez and hurt their own community.
Lemmy community > Reddit community
/r/Redditalternatives is a good place for that
I have blocked /u/safebot, lu/saferbot and /u/safestbot to avoid that problem of being banned on certain subreddits for the arbitrary reason such as posting in the “wrong place”.
