For anything important, use matrix instead of lemmy DMs.
For sure, clean stuff up as you see fit.
I mean there's still 1 year stale posts that are pinned which doesn't exactly scream "active" to newcomers.
Fais comme chez vous!
Like I said, admins are defacto moderators for every community, so don't worry too much about it. The previous mod hasn't logged in in forever and I've already made you moderator for now.
Then again, no pressure, you do whatever with that and if you choose to back out at any time, it's totally fine.
Basically you now have a few more options to pin/unpin and remove things as you see fit.
Otherwise it should be pretty much business as usual.
IMHO it's not just about the messages but whatever else the app might have access to just by being installed on your phone.
I don’t know if that rant fits the atmosphere
I think the fact you're overthinking this so much is what fits most here.
It's absolutely fine for you to become a remote mod.
There's a few caveats about reports, but it's fine.
Us admins are also included in any reports on SJW communities and obvious trolls or spam is already on the radar.
I can't transfer it to you as an owner but you can certainly be mod.
Maybe it depends which federated first initially (user vs community)

I've just removed your comment as requested
I don't think reading was involved here.
I realize this is slightly off-topic, but I always end up going back to using just a mobile browser.
It has features that I haven't found in apps: multiple tabs, bookmarks, built-in ad blocker, etc.
TBH, before using lemmy, I had almost forgotten how it was to use a website that's not outright hostile to mobile browsers.
My use case might be wildly different and I'm not saying wanting an app is invalid at all, and the web UI itself also has room for improvement.
Just... the browser actually works here compared to places like reddit and I keep going back to using that.
🤔 That's exactly what someone using a right-aligned IDE and a lefty keyboard would say.
(TIL lefty keyboard are an actual thing and not only something I thought I had just made up.)
Seriously though, you rock that whole setup.
I was gonna check my Steam library for the numbers, but the real answer probably is Shattered Pixel Dungeon on my phone.

alien.top bots
English message:
As some of you may have noticed, there's an instance with 1.1M bots reposting reddit posts and comments accross communities in several other instances.
I expect there are multiple valid opinions on the subject and this thread is meant to get a feeling of everyone's opinion on the situation.
You might also want to read lemmy.ca's discussion on that here which is a pretty decent thread about the subject.
Things that I think need to be pointed out:
- alien.top currently has 1.1M bots, only 6 of those are weekly users logging in.
- together they've made 1.59M comments accross a multitude of communities in other instances.
- That project claims to be trying to get reddit users to switch to lemmy.
- They have a portal to allow reddit users to claim and take over their bot persona.
- alien.top has a single local community, the bots all post on different instances with copies of different subreddits.
I don't have an exhaustive list of such communities, I haven't found an official one. I'll post a fewfrom my personal blocklist in a comment below.
And a note on the upcoming 0.19 release:
- the new user-level instance block feature will block all the communities of the blocked instances, but will not block these users' posts or comments if they are done on another instance's community.
My opinion isn't any more valid then anyone else's so I'll put it in a comment below.
Our users' input is welcomed.
What do you, dear users of sh.itjust.works, think about federation with them?
Thanks

Message français:
Comme certains d'entre vous l'ont peut-être remarqué, il y a une instance peuplée de 1,1M de bots qui copient ees posts et commentaires Reddit dans plein de communautés sur plusieurs autres instances.
Il y a plusieurs opinions sur le sujet et ce fil de discussion vise à prendre le pouls de l'opinion générale sur la situation.
Je vous suggères de lire la discussion chez lemmy.ca à ce sujet ici, discussion intéressante.
Quelques points qui, selon moi, doivent être soulignés :
- alien.top compte actuellement 1,1 million de robots, dont seulement 6 sont des utilisateurs hebdomadaires qui se login.
- collectivement, ils ont déjà fait 1,59 million de commentaires dans une multitude de communautés dans différentes instances.
- Ce projet proclame essayer de convertir des utilisateurs de Reddit à passer à Lemmy.
- Il existe un portail pour permettre aux utilisateurs de Reddit de prendre contrôle de leur version bot.
- alien.top a une seule communauté locale, les bots publient tous sur différentes instances, des copies de différents subreddits.
Je n'ai pas de liste exhaustive de ces communautés, à première vue, je n'en trouve pas une liste officielle. Je mettrai dans un commentaire ci-dessous quelques communautés que j'ai bloqué au niveau personnel.
Pour finir, une note sur la version 0.19 de lemmy qui s'en vient :
- La nouvelle fonctionnalité pour bloquer une instance au niveau d'un uutilisateur bloquera toutes les communautés d'une instance bloquée, mais ne bloquera pas les publications ou les commentaires de ces utilisateurs s'ils sont publiés dans une communauté d'une autre instance.
Mon opinion n'est pas meilleur qu'une autre et je mettrai plutôt dans un commentaire ci-bas.
Les commentaires de nos utilisateurs sont les bienvenus.
Que pensez-vous, cher utilisateurs de sh.itjust.works de la fédération avec eux?
Merci

We've recently added a few instances to the block list.
We usually made a discussion and vote in !agora@sh.itjust.works, but this latest batch was a bunch of instances confirmed to be hosting CSAM, CP, pedo and/or loli content. Since these are illegal, they've been removed without Agora threads.
At any time, you can see the current list of blocked instances here, all the way down in the Blocked Instances section.
Thanks

Guinea worm disease is close to being eradicated
In the late 1980s, there were near a million new cases of guinea worm disease recorded worldwide. In 2021, there were only 15. How was this achieved?
