I tried this, it got banned.

I checked some of the forums in the link (https://nodebb.fediverse.observer/list) you posted, but it’s hard to tell what most of those NodeBB instances are actually for: many lack descriptions and the forum names don’t say much. I would have to read a few posts in each forum to figure out what each one is for. I found a literature forum but it only has three posts, I don’t want to make an account just to shout into the void, so I’m trying to post to it from Lemmy.

I tried posting to the literature community I found via Lemmy but the post never showed up on the NodeBB instance. I used Lemmy’s search with the target community URL (https://community.darkscribes.com/category/2/general-discussion), it found the community, and I created a post from Lemmy (https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/54997372). I can see the post on Lemmy but not on the target NodeBB instance. Any idea why that might be or how to get Lemmy posts to appear on federated NodeBB forums?

I think moderating tags is the same as moderating any other content. If there’s a brigade, you can revert all tag changes made by the brigading users the same way you remove content posted by a user when banning them. That said, the moderation system could be improved. Reddit-style moderation is one of the biggest jokes on the internet.

You don’t seem to get my point. For a platform to let me reliably filter a whole topic, the majority of posts need to be tagged with that topic first. Reddit/Facebook don’t do that, they have communities and loose categories, not consistent topic tags across all posts. Twitter only partially does it with hashtags, and hashtags are neither comprehensive nor applied consistently. I’m talking about platform-level, booru-style or collaborative tagging so blocking a tag actually removes the tagged content without me having to unsubscribe from dozens of communities or build giant keyword lists.

It’s more like Twitter, an alternative to Instagram would be Pixelfed. Tumblr is a microblogging platform that allows users to post text, photos, quotes, links, audio, and video, often in a visually engaging format, and follow each other’s blogs.

They had a purge long ago, I would have thought an alternative that allowed explicit content would have appeared since then but this seems like the first one which is mind blowing.

I can’t say that I like either the project name or the mascot.

Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend adding the feature to mark comments as solutions. Websites like StackOverflow often have many answers that aren’t the best marked as solutions, and I believe platforms like Codidact have learned from those mistakes.

Reputation is a key factor that motivates people to contribute answers. However, StackOverflow suffers from over-moderation due to the reputation gained from moderating. I’m curious about how Codidact has addressed this issue.

Instead, consider allowing users to mark questions as solved rather than comments. Implementing a voting system similar to Slashdot, where users can categorize responses as helpful, funny, or other descriptors, might be more effective. This way, contributors are incentivized to help, as they can gain reputation points. Then a leaderboard showcasing the most helpful contributors on a weekly or monthly basis could further encourage participation.
