Since my favorite reddit app came to Lemmy I'm really keen on getting more people into the fediverse to pump up the volume of content around here. Are there any initiatives that we can assist to get folks onboard?

I had my wife join, and she likes it, but laments the slow pace of new material in the communities.

Maybe moving discussion out of the censored lemmy.ml instance would help

Genuine question, is Lemmy.ml censored in some way?

[-] JackFromWisconsin@midwest.social 3 points 11 months ago

I know they had a word block list but I'm unsure if it's still around.

[-] maegul@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago

It’s still around but so rarely invoked most don’t even know about it. It’s basically a non issue, I’m not sure anyone suggesting it’s important for increasing the size of lemmy can be taken seriously, not least because it’s only on one instance.

Tell me @arin@lemmy.world what words do you need to use that the auto censor removes from your posts?

Whatever problems it has, it’s a simple and cheap means of providing some baseline of moderation which is hard for new platforms and something lemmy is struggling with.

Well then, I'll disregard the original comment. I don't mind that slurs are censored.
