We need more variety here, the sub had sooo much more content. I like what's here so far but damn we need more dank memes and less saccharine shit. Is this because we can't post memes?

    I've tried posting my dank memes and it says "score too low" but there's no way of me knowing my score :'(

        feels like the rules set by the mods are suffocating this fledgling space.

          It's because there's someone spamming the site. You can thank them.

          this isn't really a part of the rules though, I'm pretty sure the karma limits right now are just baked into Lemmy and were imported into this with the rest of it. Something we can change later for sure, but it's not like we've specially set it up like this as far as I'm aware.

              I don't think anyone's prevented from posting in general, it seems like either a ratelimit or a limit on things like image uploads when having first joined the site, but I'm not sure.

                There’s been a karma threshold put in place for posting threads. Iirc it’s 10 for threads and 20 for image threads. It’s so the spammer has to actually comment a bit before getting to posting.

                Rate limiting is still in the dev pipeline.

      Seems like a brigading prevention measure but you probably got enough from this post. Godspeed on your shitposts, comrade

      not sure on the specifics but there are some kinds of limits based on how much karma you have and possibly other metrics like account age, but it's not specifically targeting memes

        I can't even see my karma or know how much I need to post :'( This feels like there's a posting nomenklatura that none of us party members can get into until the amorphous moderating state power apparatus decides we're worthy

          it's the same thing Reddit has for countless subs, and it's even more relevant here during brigades. it's all automatic though, it's easy enough to overcome with a few normal posts spaced out.

            reddit has literally millions of users. this site is a week old and trying to get its feet off the ground.

              true! but like, we have people spamming alts at the moment still while we're trying to get our feet off the ground. It's a compromise solution but this has been helping out a little so far, we'll be lightening it up once we have things like IP bans.

                In the meantime if you guys can get the IP addresses of the attackers you could just put a firewall rule in place as a stopgap.

                    Also many ISPs don’t use fixed IPs, so, double useless. I could just reconnect my router, boom, new IP.

                  would require access to the server unfortunately, which no one currently moderating during this does, but I'll check in with Beatnik about it once he's back

                  Not on the dev team unfortunately, our biggest limit right now is just getting things implemented and landed in the site. That sounds super cool though and I'd totally recommend reaching out to Beatnik because he might be interested.
