If you ever wanna share it or talk about it, you're welcome to on many (if not all) of the communities on literature.cafe

Yup! !writing@literature.cafe & !writingprompts@literature.cafe

We absolutely welcome that here :)

I think for a shitpost instance a custom ad network banner ads with memes and shitposts would be make sense. What I mean by that is that on geocities as well as some small internet sites there’s “custom ad networks” where they basically rely on donations and or just random people submitting “ads” that normally tend to be just links to their site, weird obscure memes, animal pictures, etc.

I think real ads for the sake of advertising on lemmy wouldn’t really be acceptable in any form, but shitposting ads have potential imo

I liked it at the time but it was just very much forgettable. I still haven’t bothered with the sequel because I forgot what the first one was even about

Looks awesome! Can’t wait to test it more

I read that in an old posh British ladies voice and it fit so well

No. “R****d” is a slur against disabled people. It has an extremely dark history and people with disabilities have been advocating against it for years. It has a very, very, very dark historical connotation here in the US.

Hey uh let's please not use the r slur

Doing so much better than last week. Got my instance back up and running and was able to bring up some very much needed conversations that hopefully lemmy backend contributors have begun to take note of. Had a lovely Rosh Hashanah and am prepping for Yom Kippur soon. Was sadly unable to participate in person due to increased COVID stuff, but it was still nice to disconnect from everything and dip some apples in honey. Been actually coming out of my reading slump too :)

Hope the rest of your week is somewhat more chill, or you can at least get some rest this weekend

Absolutely. Having people involved in this discussion directly and hearing their experiences on lemmy from a non-cis male perspective may help a lot with moderation tool development to gauge what safety concerns need to be addressed.

Are you able to renew the SSL certificate? It appears to be expired.

I wonder if we can get literature.cafe communities back on here 👀

I can vouch for slrpnk.net. Their staff team is fantastic and extremely proactive in engaging on matters pertaining to user safety.

What reasons are they uncomfy and is there any way we can make women safer here? Not sealioning, being genuine. I try my best to make my instance as inclusive and welcoming as possible and would love to know if there's anyway I could improve. I honestly would go as far to say there's a pretty high ratio of women on literature.cafe compared to other small niche focused instances, but I don't have any actual statistics to gauge from to say definitively.

Oh g-d, I don't even wanna include ebooks. I have at least 1000 ebooks, and about 100 or so audiobooks.

There's a lot of misinfo regarding the bad place, it's more so presently meant to be a repository of information rather than an automated system. Long term as it improves there seems to be desire for automation, but no one really uses it in the fediverse for that and likely won't for a long time as the site needs lots of work (as pointed out by the site creator himself)

Not presently. There needs to be better integration of inter-federated content management within lemmy. It is likely on the roadmap long term, but not for some time.

For context: this is the full release of the addon for wordpress enabling activitypub. It was previously in beta, but it has reached 1.0.

As I said above, it's unlikely many instances will fully automate those who don't use it out. I make sure people are mindful of the way tools affect smaller or single user instances as well when development occurs. The goal of the tool overall is to do something that isnt a whitelist so we don't single out small instances but rather a crowdsourced tool providing info on stuff that we want.
