This is good feedback, and I agree. I try my best to limit moderation to content that needs removing, and simply vote on the rest.

One thing I find is that mods are more likely to remove/nuke a thread when they’re stretched thin or there is a wave of rule breaking content. Bringing on more active mods can help so that each mod can spend more time scrutinizing each post.

The other great thing about the Fediverse is that you can make your own version of a community if you disagree with how one is being run. I’ve joined a few communities with different styles of moderation

What communities do you check that are more quiet now?

I think it’s because it’s just memes and also quite hard moderation and downvotes

Could this be specific to the American election?

I feel like I’ve seen more items in the moderation queue recently. I can’t say I’ve had to act on more items though

I can only speak for myself:

I’m here, still reading and voting, but I haven’t posted/commented as much recently.

Life got a bit busy, should be back to normal in a bit

Lots of great suggestions here already

I haven’t seen mobile editing mentioned yet:

• ImageToolbox for a very good Android image editing tool

• Fossify Gallery for some quick editing tools built into the gallery

• While not directly for editing, Tidy on android allows for AI search locally

• Termux for any CLI edits (imagemagick, etc.)

I’d be interested in another post on that topic :)

Charles Dickens wasn’t fun, back when we covered it in school

I am curious though, what do you recommend?

While it’s not tech specific

This has come up with a few users, I think it’s a known bug in the current version of Lemmy but I can’t find the GitHub issue right now

I tried draw.io for a similar task and, while it worked alright, I agree that it’s a bit too much work to set up nicely

There are also some CAD tools that are FOSS. Maybe some of those can help?

Wow the UI is nice

https://github.com/jmshrv/finamp

Finamp is a Jellyfin music player for Android and iOS. It’s meant to give you a similar listening experience as traditional streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music, but for the music that you already own. It’s free, open-source software, just like Jellyfin itself.

https://nextcloud.com/hub/

Hub integrates the four key Nextcloud products Files, Talk, Groupware and Office into a single platform, optimizing the flow of collaboration. Eliminate the confusing hodgepodge of different SaaS tools and the compliance, security, cost and productivity issues that come with it and standardize on a single solution with Nextcloud Hub.

Cool!

Note for any new comments:

It helps if you add an explanation of what it does, or link to read more. The name often isn’t descriptive enough, and people love to find new things to use.

It’s actually recommended by a lot of profs now where I am, which is really nice

They overhauled the UI recently and it looks nice and modern too

I found it to be more than I needed. I still have it installed, but use localsend more often

I end up using some blog post when that happens because the forums make no sense

I believe you can also look at the instance modlog and filter by community. Maybe try that?

Was it !politics@lemmy.world ?

What is something Linux related that you’ve learned recently?

As a meta question, could this work as an additional (or alternate) recurring discussion question? It felt similar in intent, to encourage people to keep learning / asking questions and chances are that if someone learned something then others will benefit from the information (or correct them)

This is part of the problem for me. I can’t dismiss the popup unless I hang up, and I don’t want to do that in case my number gets marked as “active”.

So I sit there and wait till I can use it again.

Also I appreciate the detailed alt text :)
