Developer of PieFed, a sibling of Lemmy & Kbin.
Maybe they like to exercise power over others. Sociopaths like to hurt people.
How do you know that?

When I started working on PieFed I was all enthusiastic about the idea of moderation tools. But when it came time to actually code that functionality it was like pulling teeth. Just. Sooo. Boring. It took weeks longer than it should have, for that reason. This was really surprising to me because I’m deeply passionate about moderation and ‘gardening’ a community.
That’s the thing about open source, people just do the fun stuff. There’s always some fun stuff to do which distracts from the boring-but-necessary.
I wonder how many of those registered members are active? Maybe 38?

I looked at the examples and really can’t see much difference.

What am I missing?
Yes, it’s completely possible.
Kbin has it, which it calls “Collections” - see https://kbin.social/magazines/collections. Anyone can add a collection which can be subscribed to by anyone. It is very flexible and crowd-sources the work of organizing the communities into collections. I like it.
PieFed calls it “Topics” - see https://piefed.social/topics. They are arraigned into a hierarchy and are created by the the instance admin. This could give a better experience to the end user but puts more work onto the instance admins.
No. We’ve done some work in that direction to try some things out but nothing anywhere near usable.
Sorry you stumbled into the wrong instance. Fortunately, other instances already offer alternative communities that are more active and moderated differently.
This could have been avoided if the UI included a warning about communities with problems. Like how PieFed does: https://piefed.social/post/89659
This would be fine if there were no externalities.
Yeah, but no https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox
The climate doesn’t give a toss how much value for shareholders is generated, all that matters is the total amount of emissions.
Efficiency??
This is about the total amount of emissions, not the emissions-per-unit-of-compute (or whatever).
Mbin has a dockerfile, FYI
Nice, cheers
Like a blog?
Check out Wordpress, Hugo or Ghost.
Works for me!
This was an absolute goldmine. Thanks!
Something wrong with the SSL config on this instance?

It is understandable that you didn’t find those communities, discoverability is a real issue with Lemmy. I have tried to solve this by curating communities into groups of Topics - https://piefed.social/topics
