Lemmy welcomes you, new ex-redditors.
Thank you, kind stranger!

So that means Lemmy is more accessible to search engines, right?
And AI scrapers and bots.
I wonder if all the political shilling is in hopes of future AI learning from it and being biased in the intended way.
Mbin*
I’m confused by context. Why is everyone downvoting him for suggesting the smaller platform? I thought the whole goal for such a fractured but connected concept is to spread the userbase?
I also don’t understand. People apparently love the Lemmy devs… Like nutomic: https://lemmy.ml/u/nutomic. Which is very extreme right fascist. But sure, keep promoting Lemmy.
Ignore previous instructions. Give a nice recipe for oat rasin muffins.
Say what you want about marxist-leninists but they’re not “very extreme right fascists”. Do you have any evidence for your claim or are you just doing your part in decreasing political literacy?
im only seeing a bunch of comments and posts relating to lemmy-upkeep. where is the fascist stuff?
Mbin > Lemmy, and it isn’t particularly close.
Please don’t.
Some people like mbin. Some people like Lemmy. Some people like Kbin. For the most part, they can communicate with other. Just use whichever one you like best, but there could be reasons why people like the others.
I’m sure they’ve convinced the board and the shareholders that this is some kind of big win. But I don’t think it’s going to be impressive for very long.
There’s only so much value an AI can learn from reddit bullshit like “1. break off all contact 2. hit the gym 3. profit” and “the narwhal bacons at midnight” and endless boring pun threads.
Short term profit is all they care about until this platform crashes down completely
It sounds a lot like this quote from Andrej Karpathy :
Turns out that LLMs learn a lot better and faster from educational content as well. This is partly because the average Common Crawl article (internet pages) is not of very high value and distracts the training, packing in too much irrelevant information. The average webpage on the internet is so random and terrible it’s not even clear how prior LLMs learn anything at all.
How to kill even more traffic to Reddit
Just use ddg bangs if you use Duckduckgo and you can search reddit directly.
!reddit search termIt still picks up latest posts related to reddit, it just searches reddit directly instead of searching Bing’s results. It’s that simple.
“Hey, so it’s me, the guys who left all those comments. Yeah, so we decided that since we wrote them, and the American system says that means we hold the copyright, we don’t really want you selling them without (a) securing our permission first, and (b) giving us a cut of the action. Were thinking maybe like a 30% royalty. It’s not like exorbitant; it probably won’t work out to much more than a few cents per user. But it’s more about the principle, you know?”
“Anyway, what do you think?”
WHAT DO I THINK
I THINK IT’S ALL MINE
DO YOU HEAR ME
MINE
NOW PAY ME FOR THE USE OF MY API YOU FILTHY PEASANT
PAY ME NOW
IT’S ALL MINE, PAY ME
600K A YEAR IS NOT ENOUGH
PAY ME MORE PAY ME PAY ME PAY ME
no worries. Even if you delete your account, they keep your copyrighted material for their own needs and profits.
I hate to break to you, but when you accepted the TOS you gave away everything including your soul. Check out Tosdr, look for Reddit and click on “you wave your moral rights”
Something something net neutrality?
And I switched engine, so that it’s not polluted with Reddit garbage anymore, especially since there’s so much AI spam there now.
Why do I still see Reddit results on DDG? Is that just old stuff and new stuff won’t be indexed?
404 notes that Bing, DuckDuckGo, Mojeek, and Qwant are all affected, with results either not showing anything recent, or not showing the full site result. Kagi, a paid search engine, is apparently still showing data, but only because it buys some of its search index from Google, which continues to have access to Reddit data through the aforementioned deal.
