Only other option would be a domain name and a reverse proxy.

This is how I set it up for my family and friends. Works like a charm, especially if you have a dynamic IP. Everyone just signs in through whichever app they want to use.

I have no idea who any of these people are and whatever this is about and I’m not sure if I even want to know.

It’s pretty much impossible IMO. You cannot possibly fortify every single instance against bots, there will always be ways around it. It’s just something that the open internet will have to deal with unfortunately.

Don’t bother engaging with the troll, they are clearly not arguing in good faith.

It’s a pretty emotional topic for a lot of people, so I’m not surprised. Still, I’d advise everyone who downvotes to at least take a look at what the other side has to say. This thread has a feddit.org mod comment on the situation:

about the later’s Zionist Bar Problem

I’d prefer to have a less biased title for this thread because this is a very one-sided point of view and just parrots what the db0 admin claims without questioning them.

Edit: Thanks for putting it in quotation marks, OP.

The onboarding being a bit difficult is a good thing IMO, it keeps the standards a bit higher and the Facebook boomers and TikTok children out. The internet was better when it wasn’t so easily accessible.

I’d never cheat on Nicole. Begone, thot!

Probably, but I’m just familiar with Lemmy.

On reddit yes, but on the fediverse it’s mostly the people running the servers.

This is a massive loss for the Fediverse.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced…

Then set up a script that migrates your subscription list to the new account

No need for that, you can export your subscriptions and settings on your profile page.

You can use this script with a browser addon like Tampermonkey to get around the sign-in requirement:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         reddit - unblock (create cookie and reload)
// @namespace    Violentmonkey Scripts
// @match        *://*.reddit.com/*
// @grant        none
// @version      2024-01-08
// @noframes
// @license      MIT License
// @description  for "Blocked" "whoa there, pardner!" cowboy bs
// ==/UserScript==
/* thanks: https://www.reddit.com/r/mullvadvpn/comments/18jbxb2 */
if (document.title === "Blocked") {
  document.cookie="reddit_session=;Domain=.reddit.com;Path=/;Expires=;Secure=true;SameSite=None";
  window.location.reload();
}

It just says “mod” for me.

I’ve used Lemmy for a while and just recently felt like I was missing a feature for the first time: I’d love if there was some kind of mod mail functionality. One of my posts was removed by a moderator and I wanted to ask why, but I obviously didn’t know which mod did it, so I just randomly messaged someone from the list. There should be a more “elegant” way to do this, like some kind of functionality that allows a user to send a message directly to the community or the moderation team itself.

One of the nice things about Lemmy is that you actually get replies under your posts/comments and it’s not just repeating phrases to earn as much karma as possible. There’s always a sweet spot of engagement in online communities and I feel like we’re pretty close to where it begins. Other sites just make you feel like you’re shouting into the void.

Why? Doesn’t look like there’s any explanation for this move.
