For sure. Responding is the natural thing to do. But, for me at least, I end up reading every response and deciding if I’m safe to just remove the first reported comment, or every child comment, or a mix.

Maybe some mods just delete the parent comment and all children to keep it simple, but I try to weigh each response fairly.

You’re probably better off not interacting with the content that you’re reporting.

I’ll second this. Responding to the problematic content usually just leads to a lot more problematic content that the mods need to sort through.

Right? Give me a Saturday that feels like a 15 year vacation. That might help with burnout.

I don’t visit Reddit much anymore, but isn’t that the way ads have been for awhile over there?

On iOS, I know Arctic and Thunder do. I’m sure others do as well, just not sure off the top of my head.

Some of the Lemmy mobile clients allow anonymously browsing Instances.

This year is going to be wild, isn’t it?

This is perfect! I lurk on mobile, and their mobile site is horrendous. I’ll be using this from now on!

Bean is also worth a try.

The algorithm definitely needs some work.

I’ve really been enjoying Bean for Lemmy. It recently made its way into the App Store. And I’ve been using Mammoth for Mastodon.

Ah, I’m on the App Store version. I don’t use Mammoth a whole lot. At least not yet. Somewhere down the line I’ll probably test out some more apps. I’ve really only tried Mammoth and the official app so far.

I use Bean for Lemmy and Mammoth for Mastodon.

Hmm weird, works on my end. But thanks for the extra one just in case!

I think a good place to start is Casual Conversation. There’s no real pressure to force a topic there, and people can, quite literally, have a casual conversation to perhaps lead to organic growth.

Looks like they are getting addressed over there!

I wanted to piggy back off of your comment. Have you learned anything about what’s going on? I’m a mod over at https://lemmy.world/c/miamihurricanes@fanaticus.social and it seems posts haven’t federated for the better part of 2 weeks now.
