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?

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.

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
