The classic question! Tell us what you've been watching recently.

 

Hi everyone!

I just realised sometimes you can't see posts from other instance's community if no one from your own instance has joined (or even posted/commented?). So I'm here from lemmy.world to say hello to the community, and also for users from my instance to be able to see this community.

From my understanding, the number of subscribers you see when you searched for the community only shows users from your own instance. For example, when I searched for [email protected] it showed 0 subscriber, because there wasn't anyone from my instance (lemmy.world) who had subscribed yet. Hopefully, now it would show at least 1, if anyone from world wants to sign up.

There were some discussions going on the lemmy.world's [email protected] community. But I realised that was a mastodon community where not only users from lemmy can't see the more active discussions on mastodon, but also ONLY users from the same instance (and apparently mastodon users?) can interact with each other. I created an account on another instance and it displayed a completely different kind of posts.

My thinking is that since Kdrama is still considered a relatively "niche" interest, especially among lemmy users, it would probably be best to combine our users for the time being, rather than having a handful of users on every instance who'd prefer to lurk but nothing to lurk about since no one's talking/posting.

Anyway, hope this is ok.

Although commonly known as a baby kangaroo, a joey is basically a baby marsupial. So that can include koala, opossum, wombat, etc.

I figured. If websites like unddit, ceddit, removeddit etc was able to recover deleted posts and comments, I'm sure the admins can do so too.

But we're also a crafty bunch. There must be a way to destroy the sub where reddit can't restore it properly. Like how a user can mass edit their own comments/posts before deleting them, so when reddit restore them back they would only show the edits instead of the originals. Basically use reddit's own feature against them if we can.

Even small thing like getting rid of the megathread and wiki would discourage people to go into the sub. It's information that people after, if we get rid of those then there's no point in going anymore. Slower death and a little anticlimactic that way though.

I say transfer as much as you can over here, then nuke the sub completely. The source of knowledge are mostly here now and everything else can be rebuild. We are pirates, we don't yield easily and can survive anywhere.
