There is a story to that lol. Do you remember when the comics community was completely unmoderated for months, but there was a terrible and vicious troll that made the user base drop because they were making everyone miserable? There were months of complaining and nothing being done.

Then I decided to sacrifice my account and say the most offensive thing I could think of. Miraculously, literally one day later after months of problems, the community got a new moderator that banned him and me. The community is now healthy again and I’m perfectly happy to be the punching bag villain because that’s what it took.

    It's easiest to view the Modlog by user, here's your user's modlog: https://sh.itjust.works/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=11914850

    That's an impressively bad history you have. Maybe stop telling people to kill themselves and then you might not get banned all the time?

    Your ban from !aboringdystopia@lemmy.world is not linked to a specific comment, but they probably saw your modlog and decided you weren't worth having on their community.

    EDIT! I told you a lie, so I erased my comment. (TL;DR: Still don't use Tesseract.)

    I got a report on one of my comms today. The Alexandrite UI apparently allows you to ban a user from a report:

    The default Lemmy web UI does not present this option, nor does Photon.

    Hi, not a bot. Dwazou is a ban-evading spammer who keeps coming back for reasons I don't fully understand. I report their posts so they can be banned again and will have to make a fresh account to continue their BS. Also to preserve a record of their activity for times when they go back and edit or delete posts.

    it's like the bot just targets certain accounts and reports all their posts in w/e community. seems like a lemmy loophole. like can't appoint a mod who has never posted in the group. context menus don't give any mod options for reporters.

    I would also love to have a better API. I have even been thinking about hosting my own lemmy instance to get more info. But that’s unfortunately to much data for my little hetzner VPS.

    It is already split, with the green line being posts and blue comments. If you click on a point on phone or hover on a PC/laptop you should see data about the amount of posts and comments. I can see if I can make it more clear.

    Mmm… good one, would mean I would need to fetch some more data. Will look into that!

    Thank you for your efforts. And prompt reply.

    It would be nice if there was an API you could click into that was able to handle the flow without being abusive.

    It would be nice if you could break out posts versus comments in that chart. And if it had enumeration available on the y-axis so we knew how many were actually being represented.

    As a stretch goal, it would be nice if it told us how many of the posts were made by moderators versus members versus random interactions.

    Thank you!

    The graph is the same, the differences you see is based on the data gathered. The timescale of the graph is different based ln the first and last post/comment in the database.

    I broke something and didn’t have time to fix it. I added a backfill, which fills in about 1 day each day, so in about a month the gap should be filled.

    Not currently unfortunately. My tiny server wouldn’t be able to store that much data. And I don’t want to abuse the lemmy API by scraping everything.

    Oh my. That is sexy.

    I looked up three of my communities. First thing I noticed is the difference in visualization where one has an entirely different graph type than another. Is that some sort of artifact based on activity?

    What happened in January that stopped data collection? Can that data be recovered and filled in?

    Is there a way to get the activity going back years? This is the main thing I'm looking for.

    I have a lot on my plate already. An existing option with a learning curve would be way better than rolling my own.

    If I read things correctly activitypub is more for new information. I'm looking for historical data like the last three years of a community's activity.
