Imo I feel like given the size of the community there is too much segregation. All these android related topics should all just be in /c/android until we reach a critical mass that more organization is required. No one will bother to subscribe to all of those with 0 engagement.... And plz don't delete posts we are so small here! As long as it isn't spam I'm ok with questions etc. here. The rules shouldn't be the same as reddit as the community isn't the same (at least not yet).

[-] Madbrad200@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

agree. this is one thing I hate about discord communities too, so many servers have like a million channels but minimal activity. like, you're killing your own server by segregating everything.

Hello everyone, why the mods are removing genuine posts? I know they break some rules you have. TBH there are too many rules, and this is very early stages of lemmy so don't be so strict. You guys are doing a too good job in my opinion.

[-] JshKlsn@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 year ago

These are the same mods from the Android subreddit. That should answer everything you need to know.

[-] TheTechNerd789@lemdro.id 28 points 1 year ago

I understand why they are strict on Reddit. The sub is huge, but here, they are imo too strict considering how small the platform is.

[-] JshKlsn@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago

I'd give you a genuine answer, but I'm afraid these mods will ban me like they banned me from Reddit for having a negative opinion about Samsung.

I'm so glad we gave these mods power of the Android community on Lemmy. Way to go, us!

[-] Aftermath6187@vlemmy.net 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The cool thing about this platform is that we can just leave. There's another android community at !android@lemmy.ml

[-] money_loo@lemdro.id 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Honestly, I’m okay with them banning people for being negative, there are SO many places you can go to do that if you want to, especially with all the servers here on Lemmy.

[-] biscuit@lemdro.id 6 points 1 year ago

Oh I'd love to see exactly how you got banned. Chances are it was for a tad more than just "having a negative opinion about Samsung".

[-] ijeff@lemdro.id 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hey there, if you would like to pass me your username on Reddit I'd be happy to take a look for you. We have folks who very much dislike Samsung so that shouldn't have been an issue - and if it was, it was an oversight.

I think they just removed my post. I don't think it broke any rules?

[-] ijeff@lemdro.id 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hi there, I hope you were able to catch some of the other comments but memes are captured under rule #3:

Describe images/videos: Please provide an explanation in the self-post body when sharing images or videos. Memes are not allowed.

Sorry for the late reply, I was away for much of the weekend until yesterday and thought we had gotten a reply out to you. Based on this discussion, we created !androidmemes@lemdro.id as a compromise between folks who want memes and those who do not. We've been aiming to find a balance between being more lenient during this period while also remaining responsive to user reports, which we did receive for yours.

You can typically find an explanation of the removal reasons in the modlog (when accessed from the community sidebar). Unfortunately, Lemmy doesn't seem to be handling user notifications too well but hopefully this improves in the near future.

Edit: Apologies for the multiple posts. App went haywire on me... Lemmy growing pains!

[-] Thteven@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

This is exactly the kind of shit I was worried about when people were talking about attracting reddit mods to Lemmy.

[-] anoncity@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Good thing we can create or go to an alternative Android community. Any good ones ATM?

[-] A10@kerala.party 5 points 1 year ago

I feel bad for you. Deleting a post which has already has a around 250 points, and around 60 comments SMH. Either delete them early or write a comment warning.

[-] Aftermath6187@vlemmy.net 7 points 1 year ago

My points keep getting reset every couple of days, so I don't care too much about that. I think I was making a valid point though. Obviously people were pretty engaged with it.

Cool thing about lemmy is if these mods want to be jerks, I'll just go to another android community on another instance.

[-] ijeff@lemdro.id 6 points 1 year ago

Thanks for this feedback! Based on this discussion, we've created !androidmemes@lemdro.id as a compromise between folks who want memes and those who do not. Hope that helps! We've definitely been aiming to be a bit more lenient as things take shape while trying to also be responsive to user reporting.

Always happy to check in again for a pulse check. Hopefully Lemmy can implement a better way to let directly notify folks when a post is removed, but in the meantime everyone can access the modlog from the community sidebar. Please let me know if not!

[-] Clipboards@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Absolutely floored at how active this instance & community is. It's like I never left Reddit.

Cheers!!

[-] User17w9a@lemdro.id 4 points 1 year ago

Lemmy is pretty cool but I'll have to admit the overall user base is too small for now. Don't get me wrong I want this to replace reddit but there simply isn't enough communities to fill every niche like reddit. The communities that fill a specific niche that I am subscribed to on here have less than 100 users.

[-] MdRuckus@mastodon.world 5 points 1 year ago

@User17w9a @Clipboards I disagree. Are you looking at all communities or just lemmy.world? As long as you are looking across the fediverse there are plenty, in fact, way more than reddit.

[-] ijeff@lemdro.id 4 points 1 year ago

Which subs? A lot of subreddits I used to enjoy are now just a shell of what they once were.

[-] ayyndrew@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It really depends on your interests. If you like Linux, Android, or some leftist topics, Lemmy is quite good. But most other fields are still lacking

[-] esty@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago

you used URLs for your subreddit links but fwiw you can make links clickable for users from other servers by linking to (/c/community@serv.er)

Can we get a fairphone one?

Is there an android gaming community anywhere?

[-] ijeff@lemdro.id 9 points 1 year ago

Not that I'm aware of, but Android gaming is welcome on the main !android@lemdro.id community as well!

I would like to recommend Motorola . Also why are there so many deleted comments already?

[-] sag@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Make one community for androidapps

[-] Justly0250@lemdro.id 4 points 1 year ago

Yep, the AndroidApps & AndroidGaming subs were very active and very informative

[-] TheTechNerd789@lemdro.id 7 points 1 year ago

I think it would be great if there was a PC hardware sub as part of this instance, since it is all about tech.

Good to be here! I'm going to try calling this instance my home because of my love of all things Android, its relatively small instance size, and my last instance's service availability being quite poor.
