It’s been a while we update the rule since the inception of this instance, and i think it’s time we get a proper rule set for (hopefully) better handling of situation. Here’s the 4 general rule to be enacted:

1)Be Nice

This one is self explanatory and intentionally open-ended. Just get along with each other and we’ll be fine.

2)No Bigotry

This one is also self explanatory. Malaysia is a multiracial country and sometime we tend to rub shoulder with each other, sometime stuff getting heated up. Argument is fine, disagreement is fine, as long as it stay civil and no one get banned. Bigotry include but not exclusive to: Racism, Sexism, Homophobia, Transphobia, Xenophobia, and so on.

3)No Porn

Do not post, share, or distribute any pornographic material. NSFW discussion(in words only) is allowed, and should be marked as NSFW.

4)No Ads & Spam

Do not spam this Instance with irrelevant shitpost or ads. If your intention of creating an account or community is to flood this place with shitpost, then it break this rule.

All the rule above also extend to the username, community name, banner, and avatar.


Now, lets talk about community that’s without mod and community that’s without post + inactive mod. There’s a few community that fit the description, namely !quran, !hadith, !fiqh, !backlash76, !islam, !wanita, and !islamichistory. For these communities, if anyone want to claim it, do let us know. By the 8th of September, 2023, if no one claim it or no activity from the mod, it will be purged.

I’ll further elaborate on this topic in the future.


Next, we talk about community creation. We have two paths to choose from:

  1. Open up like how it used to be: anyone can create any community as long as it adhere to the rules, or;

  2. Request only: user will have to request for the community to be created, but as long as the community in question isn’t breaking the rule and the general vibe of this instance, it will be approved.

I’m leaning toward 1 and only goes to 2 for temporary measure, but i accept suggestion.

As for prohibiting community creation from new account, we might need to either remove it ourselves, make a bot to auto-remove community that’s created by new account, or request lemmy dev to have this function to be added. For now I’ll leave it to two option.


I guess that’s all. Do discuss and give suggestion about anything above. It still haven’t set in stone.

    How about using delays for new accounts and communities? Like, you can only start a comm after 72 hours from account creation? Or new accounts can post comments but new threads in the first 24 hours gets a 6-hour delay or mod approval first?

      Sadly i don’t see such tool in the setting. It would be super handy to control spam bot though. I could put up a ticket on github but there’s no guarantee anyone will care enough to implement it.
