My not-very-helpful 2 cents: this is how it worked on reddit and kind of what expected for lemmy. But there could be a setting to change the behavior.

Non-expert answer (those who know more, please correct): only public content is (needs to be) federated. That’s (one of the reasons) why you cannot log in with the same account on different servers. Only the server you are registered in stores your private account data (AFAIK).

Thanks, I copied lemm.ee link and didn’t realize the missing y.

Also, isn’t creation community restricted on Lemmy.ml?

That explains why OP couldn’t find how to create one. Thanks again!

I edited my comment.

On the default frontend there is a button on the home page:

https://lemmy.ml/create_community

EDIT: Some instances have restricted community creation. It works on lemm.ee (if you are logged in): https://lemm.ee/create_community

THANK YOU very much for your work!

If you get an error, try F5-ing a few times, it usually works at some point.

They also have RSS Feeds for accounts.

Something like this is what I imagine as a “bening version of the web3”. I’m not an expert (by far) on any of this, but from my limited understanding, the biggest obstacle in practice is the payment method. If we are talking about online payments, that (AFAIK) makes the legal aspect much harder. Leaving the payment outside the platforms may work, but that would make some parts much harder (traceability, accountability).

Would be cool if lemmy implemented like Reddit does.

You can open an issue on the repository and, if you have the skills, you can even implement it yourself :).

TTRSS

May I ask you if you know about any public (and free?) TTRSS instance?
Thanks!

What’s the RSS link you got?

AFAIK, theere is no RSS link for saved posts. When I go to https://lemm.ee/u/Crul?view=Saved, the RSSHub Radar addon only shows this feed: https://lemm.ee/feeds/u/Crul.xml?sort=New

Note the sort=New and the absence of anything regarding saved posts.

If I re-create the logical URL for the RSS feed of saved posts, I get a feed with my submitted posts: https://lemm.ee/feeds/u/Crul.xml?view=Saved

If I were wrong (please correct me if that’s the case), then you would probably need to provide your RSS reader with the credentials for your account… unless the saved posts are public for anyone to see, which sounds a bit weird.

Her daughter is named Help I’m trapped in a driver’s license factory.

What I don’t see is how it works accross instances. If we were talking about a single instance, then everything is very easy.

But, I have some questions:
… which I don’t expect you to answer :)

• An admin from instance X purges a user from that instance, does the purge propagate to all other instances? Or maybe each instance’s admins need to purge that user.
• What happens if an admin from instance X purges a user from instance Y?

I have 0 experience with the admin side of Lemmy, so I don’t know what actions an Admin can take over a user from another instance. If I had to guess:

• In the post I linked before there is a comment talking about a “purge feature”, but I don’t know how that works.
• Community Mods may be able (?) to ban the user in that specific community
• Instance Admins may be able (?) to ban / block the replication of that user content in their instance

But again, not an expert, so I don’t really know what is the intended way to handle this.

EDIT: This is wrong, see OP’s comment with the right answer

Not an expert, those who know more please correct me.

I will explain what I understand with an example; let’s say I want to report your comment (the one I’m replying to).

Because I’m reading it from https://lemm.ee/post/3809349 , if I report it here, I would be reporting it to lemm.ee admins. Now I need to decide if I want to report it to:

• lemmy.ml admins: the instance of the community in which we are commenting

or

• tkohhh.social: the instance of your user

Then, because there is no way to “translate” a post / comment link from one instance to another, I need to go to !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml through the instance I want to report it. Let’s say tkohhh.social

So I go to: https://tkohhh.social/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml and log in

Then I look for the post: https://tkohhh.social/post/10726

And if I report it there, the report should be sent to tkohhh.social’s admins.

Note that (if this is correct) it requires an account on the instance you want to report to… which is why I did an unofficial report when I found a spammer on another instance, using the Meta community of that instance:

• User spamming the same comment everywhere : main

For those out of the loop, like me, from Wikipedia:

Captology is the study of computers as persuasive technologies.[1] This area of inquiry explores the overlapping space between persuasion in general (influence, motivation, behavior change, etc.) and computing technology.[2] This includes the design, research, and program analysis of interactive computing products (such as the Web, desktop software, specialized devices, etc.) created for the purpose of changing people’s attitudes or behaviors.[3]

B. J. Fogg in 1996 derived the term captology from an acronym: Computers As Persuasive Technologies. In 2003, he published the first book on captology, entitled Persuasive Technology: Using Computers to Change What We Think and Do.[4]

Captology is not the same thing as Behavior Design, according to BJ Fogg who is the person who coined both terms and created the foundation for both areas.
