  • Lemmy puts up full-page advertisements for donations but a lot of that funding goes to running Lemmy.ml and seemingly only very little to actual code development.

    Please stop spreading misinformation. The server for lemmy.ml only costs ~70€ per month which is only 2% of the total donation amount (3336€). With Lemmy we care a lot about writing high-quality and bug-free code as well as offering a good user experience. All of that takes time to do well.

    Edit: For your information, only donations via Opencollective pay for lemmy.ml hosting. All other donation methods are exclusively paying for developer salaries.







  • Distinguish as moderator is only for comments, while feature is only for posts. Both of these are similar but different. I suppose we could rename “distinguish” to “feature” as well?

    For mod actions there is a simple api response field can_mod, and its always false if the other user is a higher ranking mod or admin. We dont distinguish between can_remove, can_feature etc because that would get too complicated.
