Instances or networks that focus on forums and conversations instead of link aggregation? - eviltoast

It seems like any platform that features link aggregation is soon overrun by bots and self-promoters trying to drive traffic, and pages and pages of link posts versus pages and pages of people talking.

Are there any lemmy instances or other defederated networks that focus on Q&A, niche communities, and people conversing, instead?

    sorry what do you mean?

    the feature request is suggesting the ability to disallow link posts, as well as the ability to disallow text posts

    Ability to disallow certain kinds of posts (text posts/link posts) in specific communities

    Currently it is not possible to disallow using the text field or URL field in specific communities.

    Similarly one could imagine a setting to disallow using the URL field, for example in a conversation-only community.

    which did you want?
