Not going to lie, I got banned so I made my own World News Community. This community differs because there’s no silly bot, I’ll happily listen to the communities voice, and we’re a bit more lax on rules policing.
Feel free to come on by and comment. I would love to foster a News community that’s active in discussion.
I guess you are aware it seems a bit suspicious? Is that a news-oriented Discord?
Indeed, but 2k different people upvoting posts on this very recent community without any announcement does not align with usual trends.
The top weekly posts on [email protected] are below 200 votes: https://lemmy.zip/c/globalnews?dataType=Post&sort=TopWeek
Nope, it’s a small personal gaming discord with about 20 or so people mostly from Australia. Most didn’t join and I don’t think many of them stuck around after a few days.
I doubt all 2k have upvoted posts, isn’t it just people who click on a link and visit the community? Which I don’t think is as rare as you think. I bet I could see even higher numbers if I made a meme community. Trending things isn’t super hard, and once you get that you get viewers.
Active users count users who votes, posted or commented. Visiting is not enough.
Indeed, but memes are a very popular type of content. News, not so much.
On the other hand, I had a look at https://lemmy.world/post/20721206 and that might explain where the users come from.
On other topics
I post trending news from Anime_Titties, so stuff I knew would be well received.
As for your questions, I’m happy take on mods. I’ve had like two reports on a China post so far, so not in a huge rush but as it grows I will need them.
As for instance, I don’t think they do. I can message them after work and check, I know the site is funded for at least 2 years though.
