    This User Script called Fediverse Redirector auto-redirects all Community, Post, and User pages to your home instance. It works well.

    • Just click install on that page - it will be added to TamperMonkey (or similar).

    • Then click settings (under the script) and enter your home lemmy instance.

    And to directly answer your question: the raw code is visible in that repo, so you could explore how the post redirect query was constructed.

    1. To find new communities - go to https://lemmyverse.net/communities, click the top right “Home” icon and input your home instance (ex: lemmy.world)… now you can open/subscribe to every community you like.

    2. Get a good mobile app - they are listed here (with a ton of other great new-user tips): https://lemmy.ml/post/1470777

    3. Change your default “Sort Type” to “Subscribed + New” (in settings) - now you have a fresh feed of your exact interests, every time you open Lemmy.

    4. Communicate in a genuine, open-minded way - to me, Lemmy is a good place to really connect with people, and have honest discussions (versus the often more ‘performative’ tone of greeddit).

    “OP made it opt-in”

    1 - It’s not opt-in “By User” though. It’s opt-in “By Community”…

    So if one person turns it on, 1000’s of other people see it.

    OP keeps saying “you can just toggle it off”… but I really can’t… when anyone can toggle it back on.

    2 - Future options for toggling are not much better (bottom of the repo, To-Do section):

    • if a moderator adds the haiku-bot, non-mod users cannot remove it

    • only allow moderators to subscribe/unsubscribe

    …so the toggle option wouldn’t apply to 99% of people anyway.


    a few users were waiting for this (-OP)

    Who was waiting for it? The top level replies in this thread are:

    • you, who wouldn’t use it
    • me, who doesn’t want it
    • Otome, who doesn’t like it

    I think your bot rules are pretty solid though.

    Overall, I just feel like… Lemmy is a fresh space…

    a chance to make a new culture…

    maybe it’s best to leave that old bloated carcass behind.


  • 1 - Yes - some bots are helpful, some (most) are annoying:

    • a Haiku bot falls into your “triggered by accident” category (any post that is 17 syllables).

    • a Haiku bot also does not add any new contextual information (it just duplicates a comment).

    That’s why I’m saying the haiku bot is junk.

    2 - In this very post, when Otome said “I never liked the Haiku Bot”… OP responded “I’ve never liked them much either”…

    so I’m asking OP: “why create a bot to spam lemmy with low-value duplicate content, if you don’t even like that bot yourself?”
