I am glad to see more people selfhosting their own. Makes me feel less out. Had the same issues.

I agree, which is why I offered no solution as of yet… I suppose best we have right now is resounding opinion of ‘most liked’ in a thread. I suppose that would lean itself to revealing the idea which holds the highest consensus.

In some tech groups, it may become feasible for malicious actors to feign intelligence, and that’s partly what I’m hoping this slowly curtails. Use of LLM and the rest in our discourse.

I would be curious if there might be a way to give some sort of “attribute of credibility” that we could come up with.

I wonder if we could petition Lemmy.ml to make the adjustment? I’m not positive how the mod roles function just yet.

I concur and am actively researching this issue as well. I, for example created my own instance but am not entirely sure I should be the one to host yet another Selfhosted community. I am hoping for a dominate 2/3 of them to win out, preferably lemmy.ml as it was the first I discovered. Alas, you asked a very pertinent question that I think you should keep searching to find. I did see the owner on Lemmy.world actually responding to his thread…

We should absolutely instill the desire to keep this community alive though.
