Hey! Back after a large break from lemmy and after returning to the community it seems it is more advice focused: `what is the best way to learn programming` vs story focused `what is a bad mistake when you started programming`. My job as a moderator is to serve the community best I can, so instead of changing the rules to recklessly to bar topics further without consent, I want to extend an invitation for *you*, the members of the community, to share what you want to see content wise from this community. **Examples:** > I like it as is! or > New rules ideas > - Only questions about cats are allowed > - Posts about dogs will result in being banned Thank you!

The last time I've installed a CMS or any other web application, it was a time where you did it by hand, but it looks like nowadays this isn't the common way and the developers of Lemmy even don't recommend to do it (on the page above). But what is the recommended or even the modern way? Should I start to learn docker or ansible? And will it still work with other application from docker or ansible?

"debated more NATO shills/tankies on Lemmy" probably won't be on that list

Hi. As I am new on Lemmy I wonder, how I can block communities where I am not are interested in. At the moment, I switch to my user menue, switch to Preferences and to Blockings. There I enter the name of the respective community. But I assume there could be a shorter way for blocking a community directly from my timeline, if I do not want to have its posts in my timeline. Is there such a button vice versa to the Follow/Subscribe button or is it not?

On my 5th reddit ban and not going back. I like lemmy but there is no content or other ppl to interact with. I'm also on scored communities but I'm noticing the are deleting posts, and saidit.net doesn't have much users. Idk what to do :( This is frustrating. Can anyone recommend anything? I'd like to be able yo join communities similar to, ask reddit, does anyone else, am I the asshole, relationship advice, askouija, ask men, tdifu, Huh... I'll see 6 years in the future when someone replies :(
