Should people be able to (down/)vote in communities they dont subscribe? in c/[email protected]

It does not. Other then running a private/closed instance there's really no way to limit input from anyone with an account.

We had a random post in an anarchist community on our Polish speaking instance. Some 45 English speaking accounts came out of nowhere to downvote it, with a single one engaging in discussion. None of them were ever active on the instance, nor particularly in this community. Seems they just followed every crosspost.
Mods could not really do anything about it, so the accounts were banned from the entire instance by admins, as this was considered hostile behaviour against our community.
Which rises the question; should people be able to vote, end specially downvote, in communities they are not a part of? Maybe this could be at least a setting?

Another interesting concept that came from the discussion over that was "constructive downvote" - requirement of commenting why one downvotes a post.

So, are the other 2 accounts who upvoted this bot's or just stupid?

Are there any lemmy sites (clients or instances) with onion links? in c/[email protected]

We're working on that, but not there yet.

It could be a page on the instance with half based on a form to be filled out in the admin pages, and the other half with Lemmy funding.

A shared donation page might encourage them to promote it. One where there would be all lemmy dev funding options, but admins could also add theirs. Sounds like a low hanging fruit.

We'll also discuss announcing a cut of our donations going upstream in our collective.
