Apologies for a second feature request so soon after my prior one, though I think this would make Lemmy Explorer far more useful.

As I have a substantial filter list of two dozen instances and hundreds of other communities on the remaining instances, it'd be helpful if there were an option to filter out communities from Lemmy explorer on the basis of one's predefined filter lists.

As many small communities only start appearing in my regular feed after I load their information in Lemmy Explorer first, I sometimes search for such communities, scrolling past communities from instances on my filter list.

It would also be helpful if there were a toggleable sub-option of the "Hide NSFW Content" setting to automatically set the NSFW option in Lemmy Explorer to "Exclude NSFW".

Twice now I've had Arctic get stuck in a mode where only a few posts appear in any given feed, such as All not loading properly, only working properly again after uninstalling and reinstalling the app. To avoid having to reconfigure everything—including multi-communities and custom filters—each time, or if someone wants to share their custom filters or multi-communities with someone else, an option to back up and restore settings configurations, or reset them to their defaults, would be helpful.

As I was made a moderator of [email protected] without being asked first, and can't seem to find a button to demote myself, could a lemm.ee admin remove my moderator role for that community?

Edit: Issue resolved via solution suggested in comment below.

Edit 2: For now at least, there seems to be a problem with self de-moderation across instances, as my moderator status returned after I tried removing it. I thus subsequently contacted the person who promoted me to have the moderator status removed.

Sometimes I post a comment that replies to a different post than I had intended—subsequently deleting it and pasting the message into a new comment—or start a thread in which I ask a question that I then answer myself, so then delete the thread.

In both cases, it'd be helpful to have a toggle the visibility of deleted posts and comments.

As viewing comments of other users that were deleted, but still have replies, is sometimes informative, my suggestion just refers to one's own deleted posts and comments on their profile page tab.

Although personally in favor of Palestinian independence and critical of war crimes committed by Israel in its siege of Gaza, I attempted to explain in a back-and-forth discussion with a user (only afterwards learning was one of the community's two moderators) why protest voting in the 2024 election to "punish" the democrats in favor of the republicans harmed the ultimate interest of reigning in Israeli violence in Palestine.

To further emphasize the damage caused by such a protest vote, I argued that not only is Palestine worse off with Trump elected instead of Harris, but as are a myriad of other social issues. The other user disagreed, arguing that Trump's return to office facilitated the ceasefire, rather than my argument that Netanyahu deliberately delayed it to help Trump get elected.

After my fourth reply post in a reply chain that stemmed from my initial reply to the moderator's comment, I was banned from [email protected]. Having at no point advocated in favor of the violence perpetuated by Israel in Gaza, I think the ban was unjustified, and demonstrates a bad precedent for maintaining echo chambers of moderator opinions, rather than communities that foster discussion.

Nearing the 2,000 find mark after ten years of caching on and off, the creative caches have definitely stuck with me more than the rest.

Sometimes it's a particularly unique container, such as one where a metal tube cache sat at the bottom of a PVC pipe, retrieved by pouring water into the pipe, making the cache float to the top as the water drained slowly from holes in the bottom of the pipe.

Sometimes it's a particularly creative puzzle, such as one where I had to use GIMP to see what barely noticeable differences the cache owner had made to a picture, revealing the faint outlines of Roman numerals and a Morse code sequence that gave the cache's final coordinates.

What are some of the most creative caches that you guys have found so far?

Since 2017, Wikipedia editors have compiled a list of news sources from which articles are highly likely to employ systematic bias, lack professional editing and/or journalistic standards, regularly misrepresent sources, and/or fabricate information.

While its list is by no means a complete list of publications with the aforementioned problems, it has helped make Wikipedia articles more reliable by basing them off of sources covering the same events and information from a less biased point of view.

To make Lemmy news communities better than their Reddit counterparts, I think avoiding links to those sources in favor of more reliable alternatives would be worthwhile.
