And then there’s the trending section.

That’s just a bug the Lemmy project software that isn’t being given any priority by the current developers. Hopefully someone takes the time to submit a fix to the code.

I took the comment you replied to as a suggestion to make the spotlight change weekly because people are not always on Lemmy World everyday.

No one has problems with not backing up their data until they find themselves in a position where backing up their data could have saved a lot of grief.

I recommend making an account on the instance of the community you’re moderating as owner due to wierd federation effects on moderation actions.

Academic fraud is in no way a thing that is limited or even disproportionately prevalent in China. Perhaps the flavors of it are biased to one form or another in different cultures, but don’t mistake that for more or less fraud in that culture. Perhaps you notice more from China simply because there are simply more Chinese people in the world than any other nation behind Indian people in India.

Incentives matter in any system. The incentives are perverse right now.

There was a whole season of The Wire that was dedicated to the theme of news publications demanding that more be done with less as budgets were cut. Craigslist was a major factor in the trend as it cut revenue severely for local publications.

It would be great if corn got that feature

There’s a variety of maize that does fix nitrogen:

There are some political and technical hurdles to adapting it more broadly to the agricultural industry.

Relevant information:

GovTrack.us posted about the bill in question:

Appropriations legislation covering a bit less than half of the overall funding needs of the federal government was passed by the Senate 75-22 around dinner time on Friday 3/8. The bill was signed the next morning by the President. Even though technically Biden did so after the Friday midnight deadline, the government never shutdown for even a few hours.

The Science section of the bill contains the majority of the Science related appropriations.

GovTrack.us also provided links to summaries of the bill from The New York Times by Catie Edmondson and The American Prospect by David Dayen.

Hopefully one of the admins can figure it out

Have you gone into your settings and verified that you’re not blocking any accounts? There could have been an error in the database on the upgrade that inserted blocks. This is pure speculation but easy to check on your end.

This seems like a strange application of the rules unless the individual bots are banned due to posting to lemmy.world communities.

LOL This bot recommending the thing that doesn’t work right and is being phased out.

it fails ungracefully when the linked community isn’t federated with the one the visitor is following the URL from

Use /c/support@lemmy.world I usually make it a hyperlink like this: support@lemmy.world | Local Link

The exclamation mark is extraneous and creates confusing a visual indicator as to whether a link is to the hosting instance of the community rather than a link to the federated copy on whatever instance you’re on. It works one way in some circumstances and the opposite way in others. And it won’t work at all for people who are on an instance that hasn’t federated with that community. It has in fact been depreciated by the main devs of Lemmy but that’s only documented in comments to github issues.

How do you define “no active mods”? Are they leaving up inappropriate posts?

No.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I deactivated the show post features on Lemmy website

What did you deactivate and how?
