If you're drinking tank water I would definitely boil it, but from the mains I don't believe this is necessary anywhere in Australia. But I'm happy to be corrected if I'm mistaken on that.
Australia: We don't boil tap water here in Australia.
How does trending communities work? The communities don't seem to really be trending
The Trending Communities feature is prominently displayed in the top right of the main Lemmy feed. However, it doesn't seem to actually feature trending communities.
I had a look at them, and one of them doesn't even have any posts. The others are also not seeing a lot of action, with the exception of maybe Lemmy Wish List.
Does anybody know what's causing this? I'm assuming these are more recently created communities, and Lemmy.ml doesn't allow non-admin community creation, so it's stuck showing just these few, even though they're not really trending.
They'll be coming for old.reddit.com soon, you can be sure of that.
This is because Lemmy.world hasn’t updated to 0.18 yet. The admin said captcha doesn’t work on 0.18.0 so he’s waiting till 0.18.1.
So much pressure on Starfield to be good.
Even good isn’t really good enough, it has to be great.
Automatically follow popular communities?
I have a personal Lemmy instance that I’ve set up just for fun. When I browse Lemmy, I usually look at All rather than local or subscribed, because I find a lot of interesting communities I wouldn’t have otherwise found. The problem is, since I’m the only user on the instance, All is exactly the same as Subscribed.
Is anyone aware of a bot, or could provide some API pointers, that would allow me to set up a user on my instance that just looks at the top posts on All on a large Lemmy instance and follows those communities? That way my instances will federate with them and I’ll have a useful All feed again.
Thanks!
It looks like community creation is restricted to admins only here.
