Can we please get a post that explains what this community is for? Seems like nobody reads the sidebar (which is hard to access on most mobile clients) so we constantly get flooded with questions that would rather fit in [email protected] or [email protected]
I understand that many people are still confused by how lemmy works but we should make clear that this is for general questions and discussions similar to what /r/askreddit was and not a place to ask technical questions about lemmy.
That would be useful. Rules are currently on the sidebar, but most mobile users don’t see them.
Okay, I just noticed that such a post already exists but for some reasons, the pinned state doesn’t federate correctly. On lemmy.ml it’s pinned to the top, on my personal instance the post has a pin icon but appears way down.
Same on mine, pinned posts tend to be tricky for federation it seems. Hopefully fixed in a future Lemmy version
Moderation removal also isn’t federating correctly, there are two open issues on GitHub:
Isn’t it considered polite to read the rules/sidebar before posting in a new community or forum?
It is to me, but I guess that’s not the case for everyone
