Of course. Otherwise they're just sparkling kalmatas...

A side effect of aging for me is that now I like olives.

You're more than welcome to create a community on blahaj.zone if you like. You'd need an account here, but you can create it, create the community, mod your main account, and do all of the maintenance/management from your main account

Of, you could set it up on your current instance, and let people know about it.

Whatever you do, I think it's a good idea to get a voice training community up and running!

There's more coming! I got a good haul of photos on that walk:)

Ideally, it wouldn't be either of those things.

Trans communities for example, Closeted trans folk benefit from people being able to see trans communities and browse them, and just lurk before they post or before they're ready to join a private community.

Yet at the same time, sometimes, members have questions that really only other trans people can answer. And there is no problem with other folk seeing it or even engaging with the content, but once it hits all, the ratio of useful answers goes down. So being able to just stop some posts from hitting all, without otherwise locking them down would be a nice option

Blahaj zone doesn't do downvotes, so that side of being visible on /all is a non issue. The only thing that really seems to be an issue is that we will get the odd post intended specifically for members of the community that get visibility in /all, and a bunch of non helpful/irrelevant replies.

I think it would be nice to be able to make some posts "community members only", but other than that, I generally think communities are helped by the increased of exposure that comes from /all

Not sure. I've recently moved over to photon though, as it's more feature rich than alexandrite, and almost as nice to look at

They weren't very welcoming...

It's helpful. The issue is the moderation with mass removal of content doesn't always federate in ways that are obvious. And it was worse with older versions of lemmy.

Report it, and at least your instance admins can remove it from your instance

"Has a future" in this context means "Streaming media without explicit ownership rights will continue to be here/relevant in to the future, unlike the idea of 'owning' digital media"

So, the things I appreciate as an admin are

a) Make sure you state whether it's simply a matter of breaking community rules, or whether it needs an admins attention. As it stands now, admins see all reports made for all communities on our instances, which can be a lot. I leave reports for communities that I don't moderate, but they then sit around until a moderator actions them. And the large incoming volume, plus the older ones hanging around can make it hard to tell at a glance which ones require an admins eyes.

b) If it's not immediately obvious from the reported post, tell us where to find the context we need to see why the post is a problem. "Look at posters history" / "Will make sense if you read the previous post" etc.

Heads up for those that aren't familiar with the census. It is specifically for folk who don't fit in the gender binary. That means it's not aimed at cis folk or binary trans folk
