So far Lemmy is vibing. Everyone here is excited and optimistic and willing to put up with a few rough spots to be part of something.

When the Eternal September comes, which it will, how does a Lemmy instance deal with bad actors?

There should be a limit on how many communities you can create in a given time span

There should be a limit on how many communities you can run, period. This is how we got super-mods like GallowBoob on Reddit

I upvoted this post and I saw a popup "report created" this is not what I intended, I completely agree with this.

I've seen spontaneous "report created" moles¹ as well. It's not clear to me that a report is actually being created; it seems like a UI bug.

¹ "mole" : a pop-up div that appears from the bottom of the page.

Mole? What's the difference between a mole and a toast?

[-] fubo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure. I'm not a frontend dev myself; "mole" was the term I heard from people who were.

[-] guy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Oh. I think they are most commonly called "toasts". Called such, because they pop up from the bottom like toast from a toaster. I've also heard them just referred to as "alerts" or "notifications", but I think that's a bit ambiguous. Android likes to call interactive ones "snack bars", which is kind of silly. "Moles" is new to me as a term for them, but I think it's quite fitting too, yeah, I like it

Oh phew, that happened to me earlier - I thought I had accidentally submitted a false report

And how does that stop them creating multiple accounts to multiply the limit? It doesn't.

[-] oryx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Agreed on both of these. I made four within my first day or so, with three being pretty niche to very niche, and one with the potential to get large if Lemmy continues to grow. After I made that, I called it quits; I made new homes for my favorite Reddit communities and I know that's all I can likely handle if they take off.

Yes, I thought of that, but then I am sure they would just create alt accounts to create as many communities as possible. I think the requesting of communities is still the best way. If one wants to be the mod of a community that already has a mod who is moding 50 other communities and is not doing jackshit..

[-] PropaGandalf@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

this. Ihateany "verification" or "request" process as somebody has to do it. But saying that you cant create more than x communities per month or y communities per yearwould pretty much solve the problem.
