We ban spammers and remove all their content fairly quickly once we get a report, sometimes within minutes if we're online at the time. Could you report the post/message so we can deal with it?
For what it's worth, once in a while I'll search the spam URLs and the same junk is posted across Reddit and other sites. Worse, some of those posts have been up for months
I'll edit the context into the title so it's not clickbait, I thought it was worth sharing a younger person's perspective is all 😄
I'm not sure if this one counts as PC gaming, so if it doesn't quite fit I'm happy to delete it
How does that work, is it done through school?
There was some discussion about it here (Canada) last summer

They're from a good while before, and I'm not sure it would be appropriate for your use case.
Matrix is much closer to the Slack / Discord format. It IS a bit more complicated than those two, especially if you're self hosting it, but it has a lot of similar functionality
Adding to the question, keep an eye out for any songs by Canadian artists! We can submit the best ones in the next [email protected]
Thanks! I've noted that down
That's very considerate, thank you :)
I've played with bookmarklets before, so it wasn't too much trouble. I don't normally use Alexandrite, but from my quick exploration it seems that Alexandrite URLs are very similar to the default ones, where it just appends alex.lemmy.ca/
to the start. If that is the case, the following steps should work. The steps are for Firefox, but it should be similar on other browsers:
- Right-click on the bookmark bar and click
Add Bookmark
- Put anything you want in the name
- In the URL field, paste in this block of code:
javascript:(function(){
let currentURL = window.location.href;
if (currentURL.startsWith('https://lemmy.ca/')) {
window.location.href = currentURL.replace('https://lemmy.ca/', 'https://alex.lemmy.ca/lemmy.ca/');
}
})();
When you are on any lemmy.ca
page, clicking on the bookmark should take you to the corresponding alex.lemmy.ca
page. You can also make one to go in the opposite direction, with this block of code:
javascript:(function(){
let currentURL = window.location.href;
if (currentURL.startsWith('https://alex.lemmy.ca/lemmy.ca/')) {
window.location.href = currentURL.replace('https://alex.lemmy.ca/lemmy.ca/', 'https://lemmy.ca/');
} else if (currentURL === 'https://alex.lemmy.ca/lemmy.ca') {
window.location.href = 'https://lemmy.ca/';
}
})();
Hopefully that works!
We haven't revisited our donation methods yet, but we will at some point.
If you have a moment, could you share why you'd prefer to have Librapay / Open collective over the existing options? No wrong answers, I just wanted to copy it into our notes for when we revisit all that
We're pretty reasonable with moderation here. The way Lemmy works, mod actions are recorded publicly for transparency. You can access those records here, but as a warning before you open the page, "Some deleted posts may contain disturbing or adult material": https://lemmy.ca/modlog
So far we've only banned users site wide when it was a consistent problem (ex. spam bot, harassing other users). However, we do need to remove comments that are clearly against the law in Canada, else we couldn't keep operating.
It really comes down to what the comment is. If you look through the threads on here, a lot of people are already expressing how they feel, or what Canada's/Canadians' response should be. Where it might be a problem is if someone says they're going to do something violent/illegal, or call for someone else to do it
Hopefully that makes sense?
I'm not sure if there was a particularly viral post (aside from a few mentions of r/BuyCanadian), but I know we've also been mentioned in comment sections all over. Copying from another comment:
Going off of what people have mentioned in the registration applications, it is a combination of
The first point is why lemmy.ca has seen more relative growth this week than the others, but a lot of fediverse instances have seen growth recently
