I love https://www.cameronsworld.net/. I wish websites were still made like this.

Sure, I suppose I’m like this too, and hunting down and fixing this stuff brings me the most satisfaction. Highly recommended to learn to program :)))

Have not conversed with the rest of the team, but, personally, I’m not opposed persay to AI, but would certainly put much higher value on hand made banners – I feel like AI lacks creativity, style? If that makes sense, but also If someone can make a decent banner with it I’m not opposed. Size wise, I’d probably shoot for something like 1000x500, though of I can downscale stuff as needed. 2:1-3:2 _ish, other communities have banners to see (two ones I’ve quickly found is !green@lemmy.ml and !mechanicalkeyboards@lemmy.ml)

Please report shitheads. We do not allow shitheads.

Instance admins can promote users to be moderators. Such is the case with lemmy.ml, where we have !community_requests@lemmy.ml. Future questions should be at !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

I’m interested in the moderator bot. Have you made any progress on it?

Could you link your previous account?

I can’t believe I had to add a rule just for this

Locked, see rule 3

That also works :)

If the developers do not distribute donations among all contributors

I understand completely. I’ve received a total of 400$ or so from open source bounties and other rewards, and would love to see a similar model in many more projects, including lemmy… and yet, please bear in mind that lemmy’s monthly income is currently only around 700 dollars (and that’s increased in the past couple months), excluding nlnet funding. The top two contributors have each added around 40 times more lines then the third to the project. Totaling all 140 independent contributors, they still fall more than 5x short of either of the main developers. My takeaway is that this site needs more funding.

Yes! The contributing guide mentions that there are plenty of other ways including design, translations, donations, and even just reporting issues you come across! Everything can be a huge help.

Not sure about chess, but !programmerhumor@lemmy.ml

Welcome everyone! Just as a PSA, here’s a cross instance community explorer: https://browse.feddit.de/

Mastodon suffers from similar annoyances. I feel like this system could be improved, it’s pretty confusing for beginners. I support frontends rewriting links, I suppose (though I suppose there is the tricky issue of deciding what links point to the fedi. Maybe “!cats@midwest.social” should not be a link…)

This is amazing!
