Is this related to the new laws in Europe? I remember seeing something about Facebook introducing a paid tier

Taking a look at the current sidebar, it might be nice to reorganize the stats section completely

What I’m thinking is:

By default it will only show some stats, where users can select what stats they want displayed in the settings. This way I can hide the stuff I don’t care about, instead of having to look through the already busy list.

**Statistics:**                       [✏️edit]

- Monthly Active Users: 4,000
- Total Subscribers: 30,000

[ v see all v ]

Then expanding the box will give the full list of stats:

[ ^ collapse ^ ]


**Statistics:**

Active Users: 

- By day: 800
- By week: 1,200
- By month: 4,000
- By year: 24,100

Subscribers:

- Total: 30,000
- Local: 12,000

Comments: 
- Total: 81,000
- Today: 510
- This week: 1,315

[... etc]

It opens up the possibility of including more items in that list. We could also replace the expand option with a link to a full statistics dashboard page.

Creating a bunch of accounts possibly to manipulate votes

Looking from the admin level, doesn’t happen that often. Vote manipulation is already something we keep an eye out for, and usually it’s done to highlight certain content (ex. pushing some political angle) rather than boosting one community over another.

you can stop seeing by adjusting your “Show Bot Accounts” setting

I like some bots, but I only subscribe to a bot-only community if the volume of posts is reasonable.

Alternatively, I think both metrics are helpful in different ways

1. Quality over Quantity: MAU counts lurkers equally with active participants. PCM focuses on actual engagement.

3. True Reflection of Activity: A community with 1000 MAU but only 10 posts/comments is less vibrant than one with 100 MAU and 500 posts/comments.

I’d say votes are also an important part of engagement. It helps differentiate between good and bad content. I’m more likely to join a community with a few good posts a day (or even a week) than a bot community with many posts a day. Going by how the subscribers counts change over time, I’d say this is a common experience.

2. Spam Resistance: Creating multiple accounts to inflate MAU is easy. Generating meaningful posts and comments is harder.

While any abuse is bad, spam posts and comments are a bigger concern right now. AI generated spam / link spam is obnoxious and we deal with it often (as admins/mods). While someone could make lots of accounts to inflate MAU, it only really affects the community ranking against other communities and not day to day usage. Lemmy is already considering removing the trending section, and admins usually step in if a bunch of similar accounts are created at once.

5. Easier to Track: No need for complex user tracking. Just count posts and comments.

I’m not sure I understand this point. Are the vote/comment/post calculations very resource intensive?

All that being said

• I don’t see any downside to listing the info in the places you mentioned
• If people want such a sorting option, then sure why not. Give people options

I wonder what happens if a comment is deleted

Maybe Fossify Gallery?

I see this issue requesting Ultra HDR instead of regular HDR

https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Gallery/issues/166

So it might have regular HDR?

I loved the plant unit in elementary school. We had a planter with glass on the side, and for the first week or so everyone would rush to check how the seeds were doing. Then we got bored until the first seed sprouted.

This channel can be fun, it shows a timelapse of how different plants grow: https://www.youtube.com/@Boxlapse

SDMaid actually open source (GPLv3) now!

The dev rebuilt the app for modern Android and made it open source

The article also linked to this Mastodon post where someone has been sharing their findings

https://digipres.club/@foone/113313513964826090

One potential concern is

the fact that Redbox machines contain a file that has “a complete list of titles ever rented, and the email addresses of the people who rented them, and where and when.” She also found that the first six and last four digits of credit card information was logged. She said that the records on the particular unit that she was looking at contained 2,471 different transactions and had records on it dating back to 2015.

hope the mods don’t mind

Not a mod here, but I sure don’t mind. Cat looks very cozy

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

Odd, I tried that post and I don’t have that issue. It could be something specific to an ‘Appearance’ setting. I’m using “Cards” for my default view.

We appreciate you :)

Bad news: That Jagmeet death hoax was just the tip of the chum-berg

Canada:

First, locked phones are a thing of the past. Effective December 1, 2017, service providers will have to offer unlocked devices to their customers.

What are the benefits of having an unlocked device?

An unlocked device can be used on other networks, which means that you will be able to switch providers and keep the same phone. That means more flexibility for you, the consumer.
