There are Matrix channels for moderators to coordinate and share this info, next time it would be better to use those channels instead of possibly baiting spammers into posting here as well.

For insisting in creating a new community instead of collaborating on an existing one, even when I invited them to be a moderator.

You can do whatever you want to, OP.

Of course, do whatever you want. A reasonable explanation would be nice, though.

Surely you are just trolling now.

I’m asking why OP decided to create yet-another nba community instead of joining efforts on an existing one, and you are acting like the answer is too obvious for you to explain.

That does not explain anything. You could have posted this on nba.space as well.

just reality

I don’t understand what you are trying to imply. Care to explain?

I am yet to hear a reasonable argument against !nba@nba.space.

Don’t overthink and just publish it.

the content won’t get pulled. If no new content is getting pulled, no one will interact with the community.

This is a feature, not a bug.

You are trying to solve the issue of discovery by replicating the whole fediverse to your instance local database.

That’s a separate conversation to be had, but a network that is only meant for authenticated users can certainly offer better protections than a protocol where everything is openly published and distributed to the whole public internet.

I think someone didn’t do the research neded. (sic)

You certainly didn’t.

• Plenty of artists are worried about AI being trained on their data. No fediverse “platform” protects from it.
• Plenty of artists want to have a way to monetize their work. No fediverse “platform” does it. The one that did try to do it (sub.club) shut down for insufficient interest

“Good moderation” takes effort and time, which most people running their own blogs might not be interested in dealing with. Unless you are offering yourself to do “good moderation” for people in exchange of access to their comment section, adding a paywall as a barrier is a perfectly valid approach.

Kind of ironic allowing only paid users to comment on a blog talking about the Fediverse.

It is a great way to avoid spam bots.

The best way to see whether it would work is by checking how the actor from flipboard is presented. Go to https://browser.pub/@how-to-watch-cbssports@flipboard.com and tou will see that it does not have the attributes that Lemmy expects.

Why?

There is no need to change activitypub for that. Relays already do exactly what you are asking.

We could have a long conversation potential models for funding this, but I believe that until today the current audience prefers to reject economic reality and still believes that all work should be volunteer-based. Of course I disagree, but the only strong argument that I can make so far is that Communick has been running for almost 8 years and has outlived the overwhelming majority of “community-funded” instances out there.

It’s clearly a bug. Consider this a signal that I still hand-roll my CSS instead of just using clankers to vibe-code around.

Where is this hosted?

Germany

By whom?

Servers are from Hetzner. My company (MushroomLabs, LLC) is registered in the USA because I used to live there before moving to Germany. I’ve checked into creating a proper GmbH but revenue so far is so modest that it has not justified the effort.

How can we trust them if they don’t give us means to vet them?

For the services that are end-to-end encrypted, there is no need to trust me. For the social media services, by definition your data is public and sent to other servers.

A tabular matrix of E2E encrypted systems they provide would be more transparent.

This table would have only two entries: Matrix and XMPP.

Like Steve explained. The messaging protocols are e2ee, the Social Web/Fediverse services are all public by its own nature. There is no such thing as Private Social Network.

I will look into changing the wording on the front-page to make this more clear.

You are holding it wrong… (and clearly I haven’t tested this enough on mobile) :p

Put it tn portrait mode, the overflow issue will go away…
