If you’re going to continue to use a huge number of accounts, I would suggest at the very least adding an explanation on each profile so suspicious people like me can understand what we’re looking at and who we’re interacting with. A single comment like this on just one of dozens of accounts will be seen by very few.
Lol I was actually going to write a script to update all my accounts to have the same pfp, but I should get around to that faster so I can do this to!
Ideally, it would be nice to just see a single account develop a good reputation and relationships
I actually kinda did this with my .world account, doing everything through that account and a select few other accounts…but then that whole JordanLund debacle made me essentially abandon it so I figured I might as well float around on these smaller instances that never get attention lol
It has to do with the proxying URLs on images, every once in awhile no matter what I do I can’t get it to shows as a crosspost
See this is how this post is:
Which is what should lock on and show as a crosspost like all the other image posts, but it just…doesn’t in rare occasions lol
(Or sometimes it won’t show as a crosspost because your instance has site-banned the other user)
Edit: Oh just realized you’re on .cafe, you won’t see the crosspost regardless because cafe defeds the whole triad and the crosspost would be on .ml
Or will this be another Elon situation where the company loses customers, but the stock price continues to rise?
ABSOLUTELY NOT! You forgot the 18 gazillion dollar pay package for doing a bad job!
Why use so many accounts? Don’t give me the “I’m supporting smaller instances” take. It’s not supporting smaller instances when you make them look like they’re part of your spam network.
I’ve told you before my reasons, if you choose not believe them, that’s on you, maybe you’d like me to just make something up that fits better with your predetermined narrative?
- Promoting smaller instances, because of the volume of my posting it helps makes smaller instances more recognizable
- Making comms on fitting smaller instances (e.g. a programming comm id make on programming.dev)
- Mitigating against the imposter problem
- Better interconnecting smaller instances
It only serves to make it look like you’re a spam network while also making it next to impossible to block your posts. Users will try to block you, think they’ve successfully curated their feeds, only to have you turn up again. It’s not a great Lemmy experience.
Unintended unfortunate side effect, if I truly wanted to dodge the people blocking me or wanted to make a “spam network” why on earth would I use a widely recognizable username? If I wanted to do such things I would generate unrelated usernames and make a million accounts that way. Each account would last much much longer. This method would be the dumbest possible implementation of it lmfao
Plus, it would be a whole hell of a lot easier to just setup shop on a larger instance and call it a day, it’s a lot more work to need to sub to all the comms these smaller instances are missing when I need to post to them, among other random small issues lol
It also is not a good look to strip any reference to the OP, cross posts exist for a reason. It just makes it look like you’re stealing people’s posts and trying to make them your own.
All crossposts show in the crosspost section of your relevant client:
Text posts which have no link to lock onto get a username tag in the post, OC gets a username tag regardless

Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068
“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

4·6 天前435 of them, based on lemmyverse’s current count of 466 instances
Actually now that I think about it, I still don’t have a slrpnk account lmao, my trading card deck is incomplete!
I mean…is the curse really that much worse than what’s going on now? It would certainly be more interesting I think lmao
Idk bout imgur, but Reddit’s automod can be set to auto-remove untagged posts or human mods just remove them quickly since it’s a no brainer if it’s not tagged or tagged improperly
I’m heavily researching tape for my data, I currently sit around 400TBs Total but only around 200 in data that id actually want to backup and can’t just redownload.
Iirc the break even point 100-150TB
ETA: that break even point might actually be lower now that I think about it since that number is probably outdated when I did it and doesn’t account for the shortage crap
Half of these problems would be solved with a tagging system like on Reddit, then you could just block by tags
I’m pretty sure PieFed rolled out a tagging system, but clients haven’t caught up yet

2·1 个月前Could use it to slow roll over time an appreciation for wonderful mushroom flavors :D
Good lol that’s what I’m hoping for, I’m not entirely sure if it’s the taste they hate or the texture, but this sounds like it’ll be a good way to both tell which ones it is and if it is the taste something to get them used to it overtime lmao
onion and garlic powder (I like them, but they clump too much),
Wait what, I use them all the time and have never seen them clump before, I didn’t even think they could lol
Oooo that looks nice, I’ll have to pickup some next time I’m in the city that has a trader Joe’s lol
Does it have a strong mushroomy taste? Or can it slip by for people who don’t like mushrooms? I love mushrooms but I can hardly cook with it because my kids hate them 😭
Keep in mind, I stopped making new accounts a while ago, I have my set of stable, but small instance accounts and I just been cycling through them over and over again, if someone wanted to block them for curation, they should not have had a problem to do so by now. And I do have plenty that I don’t post from for comm making. There are also a few floating around from my imposter problem a bit ago.
You’d be surprised, Ive definitely had people ask me about instances that I’ve posted from. Especially funnier named ones like toast.ooo
Do I have hard analyzed data? No, and it’d be pretty hard to gather such, but I’m already posting a good volume so might as well take advantage to give a boost of recognition to small instances however small it may be
These 2 problems, are kinda related to each other. A big reason a crosspost won’t show, is if the other post is on a comm that isn’t federated with your instance or hasn’t pulled that specific post yet
So basically by interconnecting instances I mean I’m encountering comms that the instance hasn’t federated with yet because nobody has subscribed from their instance to it. And nobody on that instance can see content from that comm until someone subscribes to it
The volume with which I post makes it so I’m encountering lots of those comms every day and every time I subscribe to one of them then the instance I’m on starts to get content from it as well. Lemmyverse.net is basically my bff at this point, I’m always on there checking comms and deciding the best ones lol
There’s a bot that does this automatically, but it’s not part of Lemmy proper, so there’s a myriad of reasons why it’s not as effective on smaller reasons everything from the admin just hasn’t gotten around to it to they don’t even know it exists or is needed
Oh yes. UM, that wonderful user lmao. Yea, but a big difference is, none of my accounts are actually banned from anywhere with the exception of .ml (but I think that’s obvious lmao)
