Thank you for pinging me! I'll talk with the mod, OK?
Thank you!
Sorry for the double reply!
Done. If anyone here notices some mistake from my part, please do tell me, and I'll promptly fix it.
idk why I can't view it :( maybe caught in a spam filter on Reddit's side
Can't see it either
@lvxferre@mander.xyz , did you add any links? That could indeed trigger Reddit spam filter
I did ;_; I completely forgot how Reddit works in this regard. I hope that HiddenStill can still see it as a mod.
In case they don't, I'll copypaste the content here:
I don't claim to have "expert knowledge" on Lemmy, but I was discussing the topic there with one of the users of this sub (hi bayesianbandit!), and I've been in Lemmy for long enough (2021) to know a few things about it.
Can Lemmy can scale to the size required if trans content was banned on reddit.
Lemmy as a network can scale indefinitely. Even if a specific instance is reaching its limit, people can create new instances to split the load.
So the problem is mostly if the "transgender surgeries instance" would be able to handle the load, and how much it would cost. Accordingly to this link, "the 10 biggest Lemmy servers still only have hosting costs of $50-$300/mo".
I couldn't find much information on Lemmy's moderation tools. Currently this sub attracts a lot of hate and chasers, which moderation easily takes care of. In the past the have been excessive amounts, but reddit has cracked down on it, and provides tools to limit it (not very good ones). Lemmy would be unusable without this.
The official mod tools are awful and only suited for small communities. However larger instances developed a few third party mod tools to alleviate the burden, including an AutoMod of sorts.
Lemmy also allows something called "defederation", where users from one instance cannot interact with users from another instance. The nearest of that in Reddit would be if you were able to prevent all users who posted in a subreddit to post in yours. That helps wonders to keep haters at bay.
Lemmy works by sharing data across multiple instances (computers) and it appears there seem to be privacy concerns about the amount of data on users that is shared. / What is to stop the owners of the instance shutting it down, or the data being lost for any other reason? Although not a corporate it makes no difference. There would be a massive loss of knowledge and history.
The main concern is that data shared with one instance pops up in other instances, due to the federation. That's both a liability and a feature - because if the original instance goes down, the data is still preserved in the other instances.
It's the mention to Lemmy.world.
I would retry posting another comment with this link: https://lemmy.zip/post/88530/205136
Just to make sure HiddenStill sees it
Still no deal, when I open it in a private window: https://old.reddit.com/r/Transgender_Surgeries/comments/1ik1o02/the_future_of_this_sub/mc330ur/
I used the lemmy.zip link you've provided. I feel like the issue isn't the link, but new account in a subreddit that likely has pretty high filters.
Well, worst hypothesis if HiddenStill doesn't see it, I hope that other people can relay that info.
Well, I tried, and my comment didn't make it either...

Damn.
Well, let's hope they sees it. Trying it even further might increase her mod workload.
She’s submitted an application to blahaj to join and I pointed her to this thread
\o/
Thanks! She’s submitted an application to join blahaj and I’ve also pointed her to this post
Great!
I'll post it just to make sure
That's an awesome response tbh and clears up some of my questions I didn't even know I had too
Thanks.
And... like, Lemmy is not perfect. We got a small userbase, official mod tools are shitty, so goes on, the points HiddenStill raised are all valid. But the way that things are going, I genuinely feel like the community will be safer (or at least less unsafe) here than in Reddit.
Yeah I agree. It’s progress and personally I’m very impressed by lemmy. It feels good to get connected with people who are charting paths forward in this environment.
It sucks but historically trans people have always been a bit underground by necessity and needing to find solutions outside the mainstream (in the case of the fediverse maybe one day it will be mainstream). And a lot of us do work in tech, can help those who aren’t as savvy out. We were always active on irc and Usenet back in the day
I think at the end of the day it’s good we’re working on this now because if things go downhill fast we can minimize our losses
s progress and personally I’m very impressed by lemmy. It feels good to get connected with people who are charting paths forward in this environment.
Happy to hear!
