What kinds of things from reddit would you like to see Lemmy avoid as the user base grows? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

Honestly no idea, I'm not a mod of anything so you're better placed to know if there's a way to do that.

I do think there's a discussion to be had around whether it's actually valuable to have all these empty communities sitting around though. Yeah, people might recognise the name and maybe even sub, but if there's literally nothing in them then what's the point?

Those are the ones I have a problem with. To be clear, the ones set up by people who attempt to seed content and get conversations going (like yours, I see!) are absolutely what this place needs. But the empty ones are growing in number and clogging things up in searches, making Lemmy as a whole look emptier.

I guess over time those empty ones will either get going or die off. Hopefully most are "build it and they will come" type deals.

Fair point re mod tools/options, I'll try and work it out!

EDIT - found it:

I'm using Jerboa, and I don't think those mod options are available yet, but in a browser I was able to do it if I wanted.

Nice. Waiting for the first "meant to ban someone but misclicked and made them mod" complaints to start rolling in from them being so close together lol

Lol! Definitely something I can imagine doing with my sausage fingers!
