  • Not really no, I haven’t bumped into any issues using the community wiki megathread so far.

    My question was prompted by me accidentally using a old bookmark that took me to rentry and noticed that it had seen updates very recently and compared to lemmy community wiki which seemed like it has not been updated since october. I started wondering whether the links were still all fine and there was no need to update them, or was it simply mostly abandoned and do people rather use rentry?

    I personally prefer the lemmy community edition, but I’m such a noob when it comes to piracy that I put maybe too much trust into the megathread and this was just a wake up call to double check what am I clicking on and thought maybe asking the community about the state of the wiki wasn’t a bad idea.


  • Yeah with the “old megathread upkept by reddit’s piracy community” I mean that one and noticed that it is getting more edits than the community one here.

    Wanted to basically know whether the lemmy community megathread is basically unmaintained and should I just use the rentry one. I really like the idea of lemmy community megathread, but I feel like if it is not maintained it might be more of a hazard. But I’m no expert and wanted a community discussion about this.

    Edit: wanted to add that this is a pirate community afterall, would be of no shame to … pirate rentry megathread to lemmy community wiki every once in awhile, har har har









  • Wait, you mean the mod or the admin? The term “Admin” is used for system administrators of an instance. e.g. lemmy.world Admins are not necessarily mods of any communities, they own, upkeep, and administer the server. Mods are Moderators of a community and not often/necessarily Admins of the instance.

    If Admin has disappeared/is inactive for too long the instance wont likely stay up long. If the said community is on your instance (so lemmy.world), the admins of lemmy.world are definitely active. They can transfer the moderation of the community in question to you.

    Edit: don’t worry, you are not disrespecting me in any way. Better to ask your questions and ask for clarification. I know fediverse is confusing and that’s why I’m more than happy to help so please, don’t worry.

    Edit2: to clarify just incase: “Instance” is a lemmy server, so lemmy.world is an instance and happens to be your instance. My instance is “sopuli.xyz”.
