Nope.
Cool. spam and obvious stuff can be removed, but I've been allowing more "where do I?/what community?" type things to help spread Reddxile adoption. Suggest they take ~~subreddit~~ err community requests (that's gonna be a hard habit to break) over to [email protected] or use the search engine at https://browse.feddit.de/
dunno, first time moderating anything, so what do I know.
[email protected] to find stuff (also see the resources stickied)
!thislemmyexists[email protected] for when you found stuff and want to let others know about it.
Also: https://browse.feddit.de/ <- community search engine. There's like a bajillion PC gaming communities already.
Lets find out. shazam ur now moderator.
Cool!
Cans has source? I've been hacking on a per-instance community scraper (that pulls a list of communities from the community directory page) for !lemmy411[email protected], in an attempt to have a regularly published community list, but I'm a bit bogged.
Unknown - Lemmy is a bit less "mature" than some of the other Fediverse platforms like Mastodon where you can at least export your data. All we have is "delete my account" for example.
If the instance goes away, that's a good question. Certainly federated instances stop receiving anything from it. Will instances that have users who have subscribed to its communities still see cached posts etc? Probably. Unless there's a "Im going away, purge my stuff from you" msg in the AP that I dunno of (haven't finished reading it), a subscribing instance might just think "well, its unavailable at the moment Ill try later."
Though https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/eli5 would be the more obvious place for this. Also, there might be additional information at https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy
Meta post but it answers a relevant question to the sub, and in the interest of encouraging Lemmy growth and discovery, Ill allow it.
@[email protected], can you edit your post title with a [META], and Ill pin it.
I'm sure it is. I spent my Sunday working on a script to scrape the community directories directly from an instance's community listing but got bogged down in HTML parsing regex hell. If I don't make progress by Saturday Ill manually compile another list. Best I can do atm.
Not yet anyway.
