I also found that when I am trying to add a recommended Fediverse alternative to a subreddit, the heading says "Recommended Subreddit" and not "Recommended Community".

Curious if I have to add a community to the database in the first place before I can make it a Recommended ~~Subreddit~~ Community, or if it'll be added if I paste the link into Recommended Community first without any other action (I noticed both adding a community to the database and pasting the link in Recommended Community make me grab the full URL so I was curious).

You may also want to make the Subreddit field case-insensitive in case of duplicate additions. I unknowingly added a dupe subreddit because the version already there was the subreddit name in full lowercase instead of with the first letter capitalized like I saw it in the Reddit URL and the sub sidebar.

Thank you for the feedback. I'm pushing now the fix for the typo. I will take a look at the issue with casing now.

You might want to put where we can communicate with you somewhere. I was looking around on the site for a Contact Me form and did a few searches to find the source code online so I could make an issue (think "site:github.com fediverser") and didn't find you. I'm lucky you were here today.

The project site is https://fediverser.io. ;)

One last thing: how do I add stuff like whether the community is 18+? And I categorized a Reddit subreddit but the corresponding Fediverse community remains uncategorized. How do I fix that?

The over18 information is something that comes from Reddit and/or Lemmy directly. This is why there is no option for users to add this.

And I categorized a Reddit subreddit but the corresponding Fediverse community remains uncategorized.

The categorization is independent, so if you want to categorize the community you need to go its page. But you do have a point, perhaps I can set things up in a way to auto-assign the same category when the alternative is already accepted.

Well, kbin.run died. Back when I originally made these replies to you I added some then-active, now-dead community recommendations from kbin.run. Is there a way to un-recommend communities, especially dead ones?

[–] rglullis@communick.news 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There is already a way to mark an instance as abandoned/closed, now I need to add the functionality that removes recommendations from dead instances.

I cannot figure out how to mark the instance as abandoned/closed. I am on https://fediverser.network/instances/kbin.run and only see the option to submit a country.
