  • I think that is WIP to “wear a moderator hat”.
    Luckily, multiple accounts are widely supported.
    Most admins will have multiple accounts, an official-hat account and a casual account.

    After some federation drama, i believe marking posts as “official” or not is in the works (as opposed to mod/admin always being official). I dont know if the “official” hat also aliases the user (so there can be a “moderator” account that any mod can assume)


  • At first, the redundancy of having multiple communities on different instances covering the same topics bugged me, but it’s actually a good thing because it means you’re grouped into smaller groups of humans and your voice will get heard. Rather than a few comments dominating the conversation, there are simply more conversations.

    I like that take.
    Except when i am subscribed to multiple similar communities so i can hear those voices. Then something happens, and i see multiple reposts of the same thing by multiple users over multiple communities.
    I dont know what the middleground is.
    But maybe reframing towards the “smaller voices get heard” and learning to accept “the occasional shouts as an unfortunate downside to an overall better scenario” will help me.




  • Yeu, sync has ads because the developers of sync put ads into it.
    Vanilla lemmy and jerboa certainly dont.
    I can imagine some instance admins considering forking lemmy and putting in ads. At the moment, most instances are run as a hobby (for free) or by contributions (ie donations from members).
    The development of lemmy was funded by a VC-type thing for a while, not sure if its still active. Otherwise, its also developed thanksnto contributions
