Any critiques, desire for clarity, outright hatred, whatever have you. I will respond the best I can.
I know there’s been some blowback on some of the policy updates but it’s been difficult to really explain fully that the restrictive content policy is temporary, this community was very unmanaged for a time and it had to be reigned in somehow and with the limited tools at disposal the temporary policy changes were made.
Here’s a comment that also explains a little bit behind the decisions made recently as well.
For community mods, we have a community mod coord matrix group chat now. Feel free to DM about it.
Also, there’s another ongoing discussion regarding SFW communities on lemmyNSFW here.
One other issue I’m having is following users. Is that possible? Or am I just missing it?
Right now it’s not really possible. I assume it will be a feature in the future, but for it’s not a thing on lemmy. There is RSS links I believe on user pages but they seem to be finnicky.
This is a core lemmy enhancement. I don’t believe this is currently on their radar. I will add it to ours and see what that would take. It might not be feasible to implement on our instance alone but if we can work it out I’ll try to get it merged into lemmy.
Following as on creating a list of people to remember, sure, that would be cool, and if it’s exportable, even better!
But turning the forum Lemmy into another social media wannabe clone, no thanks!
There are RSS links in user pages but they don’t seem to be working (the magazine feeds do work).
User follow is my most desired feature at the moment for sure. My friends list on reddit’s nsfw users is what I miss the most about reddit. 😣
