Hi patatas,

We had a chance to discuss this post and what we can do differently in the future. You raised some good points in your communication with us, and I’ve copied it in to our notes for future guidelines / recommended community rules. Thank you for reaching out, we’re keeping the comments approved.

I really can’t tell if this is serious or sarcasm because of the original comment, but I’ll reply with the assumption that it’s serious:

The reason I followed up is because (as the other comment said), it seemed like news about an american show, discussing american political issues. While those issues are directly affecting life here in Canada, this community often gets complaints about having too much american news and content. We can already see and follow along with the same news in other communities, and some users come to this space to get away from all that.

Sometimes I can dismiss a report outright if I can see the relevance, and other times I might leave a comment asking about it, such as this post. The author replied with the justification and the post was left up.

Yes, I’m Canadian, and you’ll find that my post history reflects that

I’ll unpin my comment and dismiss the report :)

That makes sense to me. Maybe we can encourage people to post them as text posts, with the link in the body and a title that makes it seem more like a discussion starting post?

At the same time, it’s not too difficult to check on the posts on a case by case basis at our current size, and by the time that’s no longer possible we would have the momentum to support other communities. So it’s not a big deal

Thanks! !askmen@lemmy.ca and !askwomen@lemmy.ca have been closed and redirected

Thanks! I ended up including this sentence:

If you can’t access one of the communities listed below, it may not be available on your instance. You can always check out this guide on how to find communities.

I’ll add it to the list, I’m not sure if I should also add a note about federation or if that will just be more confusing for new users

Thanks! I’ve added it to the draft

Thanks, I’ve added them all

If you want an example of a call for mods, here’s one I posted from a while back: https://lemmy.ca/post/31769390

I love the photos you chose for each community. Looking forward to seeing them grow!

Did something from my comment give that impression? I haven’t removed the post yet if that’s the concern.

Someone reported this post as being unrelated to the topic of this community (Canada), and I’m following up on it by asking the poster to add context for why they posted it here. Most likely the post will stay up since it has a lot of discussion already.

Hi, we’re discussing this one with the other admins and someone will get back to you soon. I’ve reapproved the comments in the meantime.

I had to look this one up, I didn’t realize how old the technology was

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flettner_rotor

A Flettner rotor is a smooth cylinder with disc end plates which is spun along its long axis and, as air passes at right angles across it, the Magnus effect causes an aerodynamic force to be generated in the direction perpendicular to both the long axis and the direction of airflow.[1] The rotor sail is named after the German aviation engineer and inventor Anton Flettner, who started developing the rotor sail in the 1920s.

From what I understand, it’s still an excellent choice. It’s well supported and decent for new users.

Can you look into if the online version of Excel works for your wife? That might simplify your install. Libre Office and OnlyOffice are decent alternatives, but they might not map 1:1 with the instructions she gets from school.

Thanks! That is helpful, I appreciate it

I don’t know enough about this topic to judge what is / isn’t wrong with this comment. Could someone who is downvoting also reply to explain what’s wrong?

The video lists out a few other collectable trends, some of which I forgot about (Labubus, Smiskis, Sunny Angels, Jelly Cats, Squishmallows, Stanley Cups, Beanie Babies)

I wonder how many of the expensive collectable sale stories are true. If I gave my friend $3000 and told them to buy my Fedivoo for that amount, that might hype up Fedivoos enough to get people buying them.

Time to launch my line of Fedivoos

I looked up some photos of it and I can’t find any pattern. For any particular photo, I’ve seen people give each other a similar look across all age groups

I have no strong preference, I’m happy to post to both in the meantime

WhatsApp is awful with permissions. I couldn’t find a way to use it without giving it access to all my contacts. I installed it on the work profile and uninstalled it as soon as I didn’t need it anymore.

I was more familiar with the UK one and thought I came across a fake account when I first saw the Australian one. It felt like an over exaggerated caricature of far-right rage bait
