web interface indicates the shield is "speak as moderator", i assume this is intended to highlight or distinguish a comment as a moderator speaking officially on behalf of the channel, as opposed to a normal comment with a moderator speaking for themselves personally. i can find API documentation and a github issue around this feature but can't see any documentation yet

I'm trying an instance-specific link, it isn't working.

I've found a comment that I like that I want to reference in another community for discussion.

The link (the chain icon) on the comment is https://lemmy.world/comment/2024416 but this url produces an empty page using the lemmy.world web app. using old.lemmy.world this does seem to work: https://old.lemmy.world/comment/2024416 -- is this bug in the default web app, something weird with my setup, or am I misunderstanding something?

edit: looking at the request/response in Firefox Web Developer tools i see what a 400 error coming from cloudflare. does anyone else see this?

Lemmy has cleared some early hurdles to grow from near-zero to 60k DAUs in a month. I’ve enjoyed talking to people over the past month in a more friendly and intimate way than on that other site. The main communities are fun and viable but the niche ones are mostly empty. I run a niche hobby community and despite having a few hundred subscribers <5% have ever commented, <0.5% have posted. I think Lemmy needs to be perhaps 10x larger than it is now to be self-sustaining for niche communities.

Great instance review, thank you! FYI your markdown links are broken, switch the brackets, links are [like] (this) not (like)[this]

My community, !ultralight@lemmy.world, is small and relatively quiet for now but with Lemmy growing it's only a matter of time before bots show up.

Have any mods of larger communities dealt with any bots yet? Does the platform have any protection built in like AutoModerator, or will we end up using third party tools such as BotDefense? What has been your experience so far and what should moderators be doing to prepare?

edit: to clarify, i mean bad bots e.g. spam bots

Had to split post (because it's loo long?), see comments.
