  • The easiest way would be subscribing to the communities you want and then using the subscribed feed instead of the all feed

    Some frontends (mostly the apps) have filters you can use to filter content but the main frontend doesn’t currently apart from blocking the communities

    An alternate thing to do could be to use the local feed in the instance that primarily has the content you want. Isnt doable for all types of content since not everything has a topic based instance for it and would require having a new account if you want to interact but theres things such as mander.xyz for science, programming.dev for programming/hardware/etc. topics, etc.



  • Manually counted communities in the top 100 per instance and threw it into another pie chart (for active users / month)

    This also seems to be different than the results gotten from lemmyverse as the lemmyverse data hasnt been updated in 11 days according to that site

    A bunch of instances gained or lost some coms in the top 100 from variance of things happening in the last week

    (the eight instances that it decided to not give labels to that have 1 community are feddit.uk, lemmy.zip, beehaw.org, lemdro.id, ttrpg.network, lemmy.wtf, lemmy.blahaj.zone, mander.xyz)

    edit: updated graph to be more accurate users/month counts


















  • Yeah lemmy currently doesn’t send notifications about moderation actions

    Some mod teams add it in through manually dming (which usually will happen here if someone on the admin team is warning, banning, etc. you (apart from site bans which the user wouldn’t be able to access their messages from) and its not just an obvious spammer or bot) or code their own systems to notify about actions

    Everything’s viewable in the modlog though and you can filter by yourself to see all actions made relating to you


  • Even with the disabled instances, communities that get added onto there reach a much larger section of people than external community browsers do as casual users that just check the site once a day or something and don’t pay attention to external sites can still stumble on them without knowing the federate site exists or needing to know explicit community names

    Ideally more instances would get added onto there but its still fine like this. Been getting some nice interactions and starting activity on new programming.dev communities
