we're all still small fries, but that's ok because the fediverse is large. We're just small apartment buildings full of people in a larger city. We're not alone and size isn't as important as community and communication.
We purged 32k unverified bot/spam accounts from our Lemmy instance this past week. We had email verification on but had missed adding CAPTCHA during initial setup. We're still fairly new. Had over 1500 accounts "apply" within a 2 minute span. My admin email was flooded. It was ridiculous.
They're gone now, but we're staying vigilant.
Ah yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah, not sure I want ALL of them for subscriptions, I just wanted to see what else they had in case I did want to subscribe. I'm sure it will be back up eventually and I can go check.
I think it's ok to have themed instances. People are still free to create communities on other ones, even if they're similar topics. No one is saying ALL ttrpg has to be ONLY one roof. I help admin an instance that's devoted only to sci-fi and fantasy communities (any media) but only those themes. Some of the communities we have also exist elsewhere and that's the great thing about the fediverse.
that's what I ended up doing, searching via kbin magazine search. Weird. I'd like to see the entre instance in case there are other communities not shown here.
for some reason I can't get anything to come up when I click your pathfinder link. And typing the web address in gets me a 404 error.
browsing in new I have seen a !houseplants but I'm not sure which instance it was on. It would be nice to see cozyplaces or something like it though.
We have !stlouisblues which has more subscribers and posts on it than midwest.social
This would be exactly how I listed priority of features as well.

Oh absolutely. I' rather time be taken to get things right tan to do a rush job. The important thing is, the needs have been acknowledged. That's a big first step. Lemmy is still new, no one is in a hurry. Thanks for all you do.
