    jumped to 5k members

    I wonder, could it be related to this?

    Reddit says it will review requests to make communities private or NSFW within 24 hours. For smaller or newer communities — under 5,000 members or less than 30 days old — requests will be approved automatically.

    Lemmy is way more susceptable to bots than Reddit is, we just don’t see it as much because we’re a lot smaller. But if Lemmy grows, it’ll become a major problem for us too.

      Indeed, but then we’ll figure something out. Trust models between users can probably be implemented to spot suspicious bot accounts

          It’s definitely not, but on the other side having to address it means we would’ve reached something like 100k monthly active user, so at least there would be that I guess

    r/TheDahmerCase has been banned from Reddit

    Yes, we reported that. We’ve done nothing wrong, only noticed the 2500 sudden members today and someone else had the same issue today and then their sub was also banned, so it’s not just us. And we were both banned for ‘spam’. I think Reddit has been hacked.

    Reddit has negative respect towards the small communities, eh. The same ones that used to make that place fun, in contrast with overgrown removeds like r/[we try to be]funny.

      Reddit is only good for massively reposted memes at this point. Any real communities with any semblance of civility are better on Lemmy, in my opinion, thanks to Reddit’s policy of shooting themselves in the foot.

      Edit: even with memes, I’ve found Lemmy to be the better option.

          Dead communities or Bot communities. Pick one.

          There’s a few smaller communities on reddit that I like that don’t have a presence here, which is unfortunate. I feel ya.

            How open are the mods of those communities to promote the Lemmy alternatives?

              I have no idea, but I just assume at this point that even mentioning Lemmy on that site would result in either a ban or a shadowban from Spez’s lackeys.

          And I want r/forhire. At least something like r/slave labour. As with r/3dprinting, Lemmy alternatives are dead. I was told to look for some alternative at Mastodon but I’m not a microblogging person, feeling much better here.

        Especially memes, tbh. You can see the bots more easily when they try for humor, makes the reddit communities for it feel so uncanny.
