It's currently offline due to instability, I'll let you know once it's fixed
It's perfectly fine and you're not alone in having multiple accounts. We have no rules against it on our instance. People are more than welcome to use different accounts on different instances as long as it's not used for ban evasion.
Good point, I think I misunderstood OPs post
c/die_reklame has been set to hidden by an admin due to being a community primarily driven by a bot, but it seems like it wasn't added to the public hidden communities list. That's our mistake, we will update the list to show it as hidden.
Hiding communities isn't something done by moderators, it's something we do at an admin level according to our instance's policy.
Bot is online again
Yes, I get an error whenever trying to log in
Please respect our instance's Code of Conduct when interacting with our communities. Repeated breaches on admin moderated communities will lead to temporary instance-wide ban.
Yes, I've noticed an uptick in connection errors from the lemmy.world servers, which is likely the reason. I am planning on rewriting the bot in Erlang/Elixir from python and will look into the fixing any potential issues once that happens. I don't have access to the server at the moment as I'm away on holiday, so if the bot is down, I can't restart the process unfortunately.
It is a precautionary policy to avoid what is currently just a theoretical. You'll be the first to create personal blog community so it will be interesting to see how it works out.
Nothing is set in stone of course and policies may be revised, I won't make any claim that the current set of guidelines are perfect and immutable.
Yeah, no problem. Funnily enough Nottingham Forest already had the alias nottingham stored.
Here's every club alias for the bot:
Reminder that our Code of Conduct (3.2, 3. 5) applies even on communities outside our instance. If you keep breaking those rules we may give you a temporary ban.
Hi, sorry for late answer. Yes, the anti-bot workaround is currently unstable
