Hey all,

Another quiet week in the Lemmy landscape, so just some small topics to cover this week.

Previous Parts

Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5 / Part 6 / Part 7 / Part 8 / Part 9

TL;DR

  • Rules update - No ban evasion allowed here or on other instances
  • Donations - They're always welcome
  • Interaction - Please interact!
  • Stats - graphs!

Rules Update

I've updated the rules in the sidebar to be explicit around ban evasions. If you're banned here and create other accounts to try and evade these bans, we'll extend the ban or take further steps where needed. If you're banned on other instances, and you create accounts here or elsewhere to evade those bans, and its reported to us, we'll ban you here too. We won't allow people to misuse this instance or hurt its reputation in the wider fediverse.

Donations

As always, we're extremely thankful to people who are kind enough to donate. You can always see the instance's financial position on OpenCollective, and what we're aiming towards. If you do donate, you'll get your name in the Thank You Thread.

Its also awesome to see we now have 20 contributors - Thank you all! 😁

Want to help but not in a position to do so financially? Then please remember to interact with the instance!

Interaction

As always, welcome to the new Lemmy.zip users, I hope you're enjoying your time here.

This is my weekly reminder to people to please interact with the instance. That can be in the form of upvoting content, creating posts or comments and generating discussion, or even creating communities and gather like-minded people to discuss a topic.

Interaction is one of the key measures that helps rank Lemmy instances, and we've been able to punch above our weight in terms of user numbers vs activity. This helps promote the instance and in turn bring new people in. Please do interact, it helps out so, so much!
