Sitting yoga, talking a walk, lying flat on the ground and not a mattress for a while, changing seating position often, getting a better chair, static stretching, light aerobics, swimming.

Yes, copyright and should exist, but only for about ten years, which should be enough time to get rich off it. Afterwards you can just come up with new ideas.

Thank you for your efforts to keep the community positive and the site running.

Please take care of yourself and watch out that you don’t burn out. The one thing which is worse for a community than a stressed admin/mod is a burnt out one.

Your post sounds like (I am not a qualified professional, this is not a diagnosis!) you’re currently in stage 3 (of 12, so 25% of the way to the end) of burnout, symptoms being Negligence of one’s own needs (social contacts, rest and relaxation are no longer as important as before. One has the feeling that one cannot take time for this).

If that’s really the case, try to hear your own needs and take a step back once you feel it’s too much.

don’t think the technical/backend admin team would scale well at the moment, but moderation is probably a huge time sink where you can help more efficiently right now. alyaza already posted the application form for moderators.

I can only promise that I respect you tons more than that Fuckface Apollo killer u/Spez!

thank you, it means the world to us :)

well, about that… it “catches fire” about once an hour and it’s been interesting to try to automate problem resolution with scripts and clever rate limits. More on our uptime/SLA plans here: 📢 Buzzworthy SLA Announcement 🐝 (in !support by me)

Looks interesting.

You could try giving the site a few more orange colours. And you can create custom themes like this: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/theming.html

If you can figure out a good theme, maybe a dark theme with orange colours, I’ll be happy to discuss this with the admin team and we might include it as a selectable theme.

ah, ye olde Beehaw switcheroo (:

That’s what I mean. There are !reddit@lemmy.ml and !whyileftreddit@lemmy.ml communities and a megathread on Beehaw, which should be way enough to talk about reddit, in my opinion. We should instead focus on creating content which isn’t reddit. I know it’s hard to part, and people are new, that’s why I created this thread to create awareness.

probably people open three threads about the same thing because they don’t know how to use the search function. That must be it. I will write a manual for this. /s

Why are you so obsessed with growth? Is it not OK if people discover the Fediverse without it being swarmed by new users? Is it the “number goes up” phenomenon?
