The Summit app can to this

Semi off topic, but isn’t the subscriber count badge useless now since Lemmy fixed their reporting of that?

A post will federate to every instance that has at least 1 subscriber of that community. If you want to get your communities federating to other instances and get them more popular, use this tool

IDK if we’re really missing any software features, but I feel like it’s a good opportunity for a Lemmy plugin

Especially with Lemmy getting support for plugins soon, I don’t see the need for making a new platform

A new sorting method for “unanswered” is a cool idea. I’m not sure if it’s quite as simple as just finding posts with 0 comments, because people can put additional questions in the comments but it’s still unanswered. Also how do you sort them for posts with the same number of comments/answers. But this is definitely something that a plugin could handle.

I saw someone else suggested we could just put “[unanswered]” in the title and then edit the title to “[answered]”

Then they aren’t using it properly

Or use Cloudflare (properly)

If it’s not working in Photon, you could try a different frontend, like a mobile app. I think Jerboa and Boost can do it

I think this happens automatically when they see activity coming from your instance? I guess if you use your instance to upvote and comment on stuff then it’ll refresh the status?

or I think servers recheck dead instances on a scheduled task, every 24 hours

When it comes to moderation tooling I’m honestly a little confused that there isn’t more work or noise around a developing a sideloaded tool.

Yeah we just need volunteers to dedicate their time to it. But it’s a lot easier to complain than it is to contribute.

It only counts the single most recent comment, so a handful of recent comments or just 1 single recent comment makes no difference.

It’s the combination of most recent comment with the number of upvotes. If this post’s most recent comment is an hour old but the post has 300 upvotes, that’s better than a post with a 10 minute old comment and only 10 upvotes for the post.

I’m not aware of any recent changes to it but idk for sure.

Active sort is not based on when the post was created, it’s based on the age of the most recent comment. Those all have a lot of comments and upvotes so I think it makes sense for them to be at the top of Active.

Can you share some example screenshots with links to the posts?

Defederation messes with this though, we need more ways to control the content without relying on defederation

It makes me feel like I should be making the post to multiple communities, but then I feel like I’m spamming
