Interesting to see !startrek@lemmy.zip getting popular due to heavy moderation on startrek.website

[–] nix@merv.news 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where can I read about the heavy moderation?

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

4th post of the mentioned community, named "[drama] - startrek.website mods are on a power trip for sure"

Been having fun on futurology.today this morning.

Started writing a post on their fediverse links page to point here.
Thought I'd test the relative link first, but got 'couldn't find community' error.

Got this same error for a bunch of links, so started writing a post about it on their meta page.
Thought I'd test those links again first, and this time they worked (albeit with a timeout error)

Tried subscribing here from an account I have on that instance, it worked eventually, but shows "No Posts". Since time seemed to solve the first problems, maybe it'll fix that one.

Posting from futurology.today:

Huh. Time did fix it. For this post at least.

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey @freamon@endlesstalk.org , I was thinking, would it be possible to adapt your code to also have such report but based on monthly active users?

Sometimes I feel like the number of subscribers don't really show communities that would get new activity after being inactive for a while (imagine you have 1k subs, that stays constant, but then you move from 50 monthly users to 200, without more subs)

[–] freamon@endlesstalk.org 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's easy enough to change, so I'll test it out, and share the results

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks! I guess it might be interesting to have another report, in addition to the current one?

The current one is still very useful

[–] freamon@endlesstalk.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Today's list using users_active_month: https://feddit.nl/post/2364983

Some similarities, which suggests that it's new subscribers that contribute activity, and dormant subscribers remain dormant, perhaps.
I think Lemmy counts 'activity' as posts and comments, but not upvotes, so this list will highlight the more 'chatty' communities (some Main/Meta/Bot-fed ones on there) which is maybe what we want, but it'll exclude the ones that are 'interesting' (pics posted by one or two people, about which there's not much to say, other than 'nice imaginary train').

I'll post again tomorrow, and that might reveal more about how it would shape out.

Great, thank you so much!
