MODERATOR OF
Done, you are now a mod!
Feel free to make a post to onboard more people if you would like. Some mod actions work better from a local account (ex. pinning and unpinning posts, and seeing certain reports), so it can help to have a secondary local account. Otherwise no harm in moderating from your main :)
Now I'm trying to regularly share news that is relevant for both developers and hobbyists. (Studio news, software milestones, talks, interesting columns/posts, etc.) I think I’ve done an okay job, but it’s still pretty low in search results when you search “gamedev Lemmy”, so I'm adding it here in case any of you out there are interested in the field.
That sounds great!
As others have mentioned, you could reach out to the mods on [email protected] and offer to help moderate. Very often the mods will be happy with the extra help. It already has a lot of subscribers, but doesn't have as much activity. Having you on board might be the perfect blend.
You can also decide you want to try and grow your own community, in which case it might still be helpful to cross post your posts into the other comm to reach interested users
Regardless of what you go with, looking forward to seeing it grow. Thanks for working on it!
Good to know, Pixelfed logins have consistently been buggy for me. I hope they improve that over time
I would be good with that. The space communities could benefit from consolidation, they're active but spread out too much
I don't have a preference on which one to keep, both LW and mander.xyz seem like good choices
That's the idea, we also want to eventually let people donate to specific projects if they wanted to. So if someone uses one of the platforms (lemmy, pixelfed, some other platform) and wants to help fund it exclusively, they can do so. Donating to the general pool would let the organization allocate funds as needed.
The donation platforms already support that, so it's a matter of making sure that our accounts/accounting is set up in a way that we don't lose track of where people wanted their money to go
Copying my comment for the second bit
I appreciate that people are asking about this since we want to future-proof things as much as possible. Being vigilant is a good thing :)
As for our plans around that, what I'm thinking is
-
we can be transparent about everything that is going on, and publicly share as much as possible, so that people can look for issues with this organization
-
overtime if we can set up more guides about what we learned and how we're set up, and open source technical things that we make ourselves, so that it'll be easier for new organizations and instances to pop up

My understanding is that
- the terms are interchangeable in Canada
- the official term is not-for-profit, which is a separate distinction from 'charity'
We do not have charity registration, as there are strict requirements on what purposes qualify, and so we can't issue tax receipts.
We have some written out here, and we can clarify further or make it consistent across the site

I'll reach out to some people to clarify the exact wording on this. The legal websites I've come across are inconsistent
My understanding is that the terms are interchangeable in Canada, and the "in big countries" makes me think that the article is not specific to Canada
In big countries, like Canada, a nonprofit can have the privilege of a tax-exempt status
We can totally clarify further on the website, we have some written up currently
The user you are talking to is on lemmy.ca, which is a Canadian instance.
You are talking to another Canadian
I'll pin this to the instance briefly, but please see the original post for the most up to date details. Enjoy!

Cheers!
Thank you to everyone that nominated songs, discussed the options, and voted in the survey! Sometime in the future, we will post a detailed breakdown on all the songs and how people voted.
If you want to listen to the winning songs, you can find them below:
| Artist Name | Song Name | Song Link | YouTube | Spotify | |
|

|
|
| | Rezz, Virtual Riot, One True God | Give in to you | song.link | YouTube | Spotify | | Billie du Page | Fake Friends (liste française) | song.link | YouTube | | | Elisapie (ᐃᓕᓴᐱ) | Quviasukkuvit (If It Makes You Happy) | song.link | YouTube | Spotify |
As a note for transparency, two songs tied for first place in the English category. However, when looking at the individual survey results, at least one of the submissions seemed to be a duplicate. If we took that into account when calculating the results, we got a clear winner for the English category and no change in the relative scores for the French category.

Strengthening the paediatric clinical trial ecosystem to better inform policy and programmes (see post body for some figures)
(www.thelancet.com)
Excerpt of the summary:
Childhood diseases have profound lifelong effects on health, livelihoods, and societies. Investment in early childhood results in highly cost-effective changes to lifelong health, productivity, and human capital returns. Yet, there remain substantial gaps in knowledge on the efficacy and safety of many paediatric interventions, which represents a failure to establish shared priorities and alignment across governments, researchers, communities, and funders. Children are frequently marginalised from clinical trials, which is an issue of equity. Challenges include mismatched priorities and funding, risk adversity, poor design, power imbalances, and inadequate infrastructure.
