Probably a mistake. The mobile website is a bit jank, and I’ve had a few times where I did by accident and it got stuck downvoted
17·1 year agoNegative people are always saying we’ll never see anything like the early internet again with how everything is owned by corporations, but this last week on Lemmy has come damn close for me! Time to go be nostalgic about asking A/S/L in AIM chatrooms while watching flash animations on https://joecartoon.com/ eh @[email protected]?
(I can’t believe that site is still running!)
You and I both know your average Redditor isn’t going to stumble upon exploding heads, dbzer0, or some other niche instance. They’re going to end up at lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, shitjustworks, or kbin.social. If they don’t like what they see on one of the generalized aggregators, then how would a “default community” view be any different?
Hard disagree like others. Going to an instance already takes you to “Local” and “Active”, which is literally the “Default Communities” because it’s what’s active on that instance. Quit trying to fit Lemmy into a Reddit box because it‘s not always necessary.
I haven’t seen it posted yet so here’s another place for memes if that’s what you’re looking for: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
As a matter of fact, we actually already have an introduction topic: https://lemmy.world/post/177286
We do have a General community
Welcome to Lemmy.World General! This is a community for general discussion where you can get your bearings in the fediverse, discuss topics & ask questions that don’t seem to fit in any other community.
For server-specific announcements & questions, please see Lemmyworld, and if you’re really new to all this, check out the Newcomers community, but anything else? That’s what General’s for!
It was created because posts like yours were getting locked in /c/lemmyworld. If you haven’t already, post this in https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities
I can’t wait! I it’s almost impossible to browse All on New with the influx of content forcing everything down nonstop
Feel free to go post somewhere there and mention me, and I’ll make you a mod since @[email protected] wants a few mods per community from a post of his I saw elsewhere. I’m sure your icon and banner can still be useful. :) (As far as I can immediately tell, the only way to promote someone to a mod is by doing it on one of their comments in the community you moderate)
Can we hold off on this for a bit while things settle? I personally posted a story about investor concerns over Reddit’s blackout here because of the high visibility and because beehaw.org was blocking instances. Lo and behold they have blocked us so I guess it was a good call even though their Tech community would have been a better fit. I could have also made a new community here I suppose, but again, there’s no eyes on that.
Isn’t lemmy.world literally like 15 days old? Let’s not be too quick to turn this into a Discord server with 50 channels and 10 users. There’s nothing wrong with piling everything in one place when there’s barely any content to speak of anyways.
EDIT: I just created a new community to repost these locked posts in order of most comments:

So I guess the next question is do we now recreate beehaw communities that were popular and fragment the community, or do we make accounts on a smaller instance that has access to beehaw.org and lemmy.world? I’m not about to start logging in and out of multiple accounts because beehaw mods are getting butt hurt…
Oh that’s a great one as well! The graph bottom right tracking individual subs over time is super helpful
A new blackout tracker just dropped on the Discord: https://darktotal.com/
“What are communities you want to see, but don’t want to moderate?”
It’s to select the language your post is in. I left it undetermined for this post so new users could still see it.
/c/TitleGore
But really though, are you asking if anyone has any communities they want to make so you can moderate them? I’m so confused
You can actually use https://lemmymap.feddit.de/ to get an idea of how free a particular lemmy instance is thanks to the option to show blocks. Lemmy.world seems to be the only large instance that has not been blocked by or blocked any other instances
The voyager web app literally just got this feature today.
