how to treat new users
(lemmy.nz)
so i just saw this post in the new all feed ... was deleted the moment i wanted to open it for being "off topic".
pls, everyone, be nice to new users. don't just remove their first post for being "off topic". we're already having a problem of not getting enough new users (link)
Why is this a problem? Right now lemmy is small enough to mostly not draw attention from bots. It's also small enough that blocking people can actually shape the type of comments you see.
It's not a problem if you're into
As soon as you try to talk anybody else, you might find you struggle to have a community large enough to sustain a conversation
Point thoroughly taken, thank you for changing my mind.
yep, where's the gaming community's, the non doomer ai tech community, the political compass memes?
Sometimes I open threads with 6+ comments and there's nothing there because I blocked them all. Bliss.
Should fediverse stay a niche "project" for idealists? Or should it become an actual alternative?
I would really like for it to become a proper reddit alternative, but that is not happening. Less because of the platform and more because of the people.
Collectively this has already been answered.
