Turns out to be something specific to a certain instance and how they configured things so were updating today or close to today now

Update: something major possibly broke. Were waiting a bit longer and possibly until 0.19.4 if its bad enough

Probably soon, just been making sure nothing major broke in the 0.19.3 update before we move over

The 0.19.1 version isnt ideal but its still usable if the server is restarted every day so gives us some time and after the situation with 0.19 0.19.1 were being more cautious

I just transferred the community over to ericjmorey due to them posting in the mod thread so ill try to not manage this as much but I can give my opinion on this community

With all of the question communities ive found that the posting rate is much lower but the engagement on each post is relatively high. If the scope is widened the high activity could be flooded out due to people unsubscribing due to it not being focused on the question topic anymore

(for articles formatted as a question) With articles the focus tends to be more about the article rather than the question itself and you get people talking about things discussed within the article rather than it being open ended

Feel like best thing would be having a new community for career articles

edit: If having a new community for career articles is what you guys want after this discussion just let me know and I can set one up

Alright ive transferred the community over to you

Might be something to do with 0.19, Seems like same is true across my mastodon instances. Assume that would be a bug with lemmy

There is a distinguish option that adds a shield but its a bit redundant since it marks you with the flairs anyways

Only way to really get around it for now is the multiple accounts

Yep, I can update that maybe later today. Was waiting until I get them all up but can do the first 3 while I deal with mlmym

You might need to hard refresh with ctrl f5

Change has been pushed

*removed externally hosted image*

ill check it out and try to fix it

Sure I can push an update with that

yeah people who have been here for longer might have not accurate stats to only the year since I cant get an actual year range of the things I request

itll pull from your entire lemmy history but for most people that will be within the last year

Yeah cant stop that, lemmy doesn't let me do actual ranges

Looks like lemmy.ml is throwing 403s when I try to access images from it. Handled the case and it should work now

Yeah sure I can push out a quick update to do that

edit: done. Also tweaked weights a bit since adventurer was way too common

*removed externally hosted image*

Heres my results, primarily around the gamedev section of the instance and here

*removed externally hosted image*

Ill start off with sharing my results. Top communities is dominated by programming.dev since thats what im the admin of

We usually hide bot communities here which would include zerobytes but my hiding system recently broke a bit due to the 0.19 update so I haven't hid any recently

I can fix that and hide the new communities that popped up

(Hiding just means they dont show on the feeds by default but show for someone if they subscribe to them)

Edit: Fixed the issues with my system and hid the main ones that appeared in the scaled feed, ill hide more as I see them

Edit #2: There is also a way to block an instance like you said by going to your user settings and then the blocks tab on web but this is one case that should be getting handled by us

yeah the interaction per content ratio is extremely high

c/programming was also considered lively last month since it got a bit of a boost from some posts but now its a bit under. Nothing else is close to these two
