While I do miss the subs with thousands, and the very obscure subs for my specific interest, this shit makes me glad I got out
What makes me sad is how a lot of niche communities moved from websites to Reddit, and now they are going to die.
Do you think they will move to lemmy?
No. Most of those communities are dwindling away. The guitar forums on Reddit are all AI shit repost bots. Luckily there are a few good YouTube channels to still get information, but there is no discussion.
Don’t worry, won’t be long for thousands join Lemmy when Reddit tries the Musk way of running a company into the ground :)
LOL paid subreddits. ok, yea–let me PAY YOU for the privilege of providing content FOR YOU. LOL
get fucked. reddit is a toxic rotting husk of what it used to be. good riddance
Wasn’t that whole the concept behind that reddit gold exclusive subreddit? I’ve never been on there but I heard it was pretty barren anyway.
It was not an impressive sub
It was a “I got gold” circle jerk.
Like century club but somehow worse
“Reddit CEO teases new ways to damage and eventually kill Reddit”
Oh cool so we’re gonna get another wave of users joining lemmy, it’s nice that they keep fucking up at such a regular cadence
I don’t think there’s really going to be some noticeable influx, but I hope so. Even though Lemmy isn’t nearly intuitive as it could be, but it did improve atleast by some degree.
We say registrations go from 1 or 2 a day to 14 (other instances saw similar upswings). Just on this news. If they do implement it we’ll see another Rexxit with similar big numbers.
Reddit isn’t really intuitive either. Most platforms have at least some learning curve. We have a great ecosystem of apps that help. I only wish a YouTuber would make a good explainer.
Here’s one for the Fediverse that I saw recently: https://youtu.be/QzYozbNneVc
Voyager is pretty intuitive and can be used without even joining a instance
Voyager is the spiritual successor to Apollo and an all around fantastic application.
I’m an android man, and Voyager has my full support
Fixing reddit search? Just insert a 2021 google search bar on old.reddit. I just saved you millions you dingus. Thank goodness Aaron Swartz doesn’t have to see what happened to his joint venture.
Remember when they tried to pretend he was not really involved? And then the time the removed his name? Insert pepperage farm meme graphic.
“Tease” doing a lot of heavy lifting there. It’s only a tease if it’s something people actually want.
Imagine if reddit makes porn subreddits paid
If there’s one thing that united the Internet, it’s don’t fuck with our porn. It’s how Tumbler died, pornhub lost over 95% of their videos, and it’ll put the final nail in reddit if they try it.
Tumblr isn’t fully dead it is just dying. I still find many people on there posting art.
what a goddamn shithole. the dark thing about this is that they will continue to retain the critical mass of users and they know it. it’s where the most users and content are. so many communities were completely erased during the mod strike and it didn’t matter. they knew they would be completely fine. the future is an authoritarian world effectively governed by companies like this.

That’s what many social media companies have said, lol.
But the sad thing is many communities will (and already have) move to Discord. Which is even worse, as Discord is a siloed information black hole.
Who tf still uses Reddit? It’s all bots and power tripping mods nowadays. Lemmy is a million times better imo.
Left Reddit over a year ago, haven’t been back once. It was surprisingly easy, and a year on, it’s getting easier for others too.
I miss some of the more casual subreddits, and somehow Lemmy is even more of an echo chamber than Reddit is, but otherwise yeah, Lemmy is fine. Especially with the Photon frontend.

Yeah I really miss the trumpers responding constantly to anything about him with absolute bullshit lies. That really added perspective to my worldview. Now, if we could only get some more people to join Lemmy who despise Linux /s
There are centrists and even conservatives out there in the world who have valid perspectives and values but who are not Trumpers.
Yes, valuable perspectives like UnIpArTy!!!1 and bOtH sIdEs!!!1
Edit: I want to agree with your sentiment though, really. I’m just jaded after several years of seeing disingenuous views expressed. Trump isn’t really one I can abide by letting off the hook but I’ve seen that attempted by MANY centrists to the point that I no longer can believe there exists a such thing as a “centrist”.
It makes sense, those that backed off Reddit were more than likely against Corpo greed while conservatives cheer it on. Lemmy was created by leftists supposedly and more left leaning people joined after leaving reddit so it’s no surprise. Reddit kept the bootlickers and the lazy, Lemmy gained the anti-greed political left so we were sort of destined to be an echo chamber unfortunately.

sigh…
Cool, I’ve heard that people love paying for access to their own content that used to be free.
This is a good time for anyone still on the site to share some Lemmy links.
Oh dear Lord. Please don’t. This is still a nice place.
Fucking exactly. It’s regular users that turn everything to shit, or allow it to happen at least.
Thanks, I hate it
Don’t post reddit ads on lemmy thanks.
Honestly, I think it’s pretty hard to call this an ad lol
“Lemmy CEO teases users with cookies and free subs” would be removed from reddit in 1 second
Yes, because one is saying positives and the other is saying negatives. “Trump promises project 2025” isn’t a trump ad even if “Harris promises a fucking break from whatever weird bullshit trump said today” wouldn’t be allowed on truth social
Ads are about exposure too. The word “lemmy” is probably banned on reddit because they don’t want you to even mention a competitor or people would know.
When the frontpage is all about trump/harris any party that isn’t them lose because they get 0 coverage.
Would it? I think 90% of us heard about Lemmy on reddit.
I’m pretty sure lemmy links were autoremoved at same point
