Just making sure I’m in the right place. I cannot see any developed communities here so I’ve started wondering, what’s the real place everyone from Reddit has moved to? I’ve heard something about Discuit, but never tried it.
I’m generally browsing the news subs which is usually what I did on reddit. I also check out All but comment less often in things I find there because it is just filled with memes after I blocked all the hexbear garbage.
am here
Oh you are in the right place! Once people figure out how to use the fediverse its jover for reddit.
I’m here!
However, I can’t seem to create communities that are missing from lemmy. Maybe an instance problem?
I’m here, reading hacker news and slashdot. Trying to learn AI, ML and cloud technologies 😊 out of work but going with flow of life
I enjoy lurking HN but many of the opinions I see there about cloud and AI are Luddite-level.
Just browsing /c/everything top-6 hrs and then getting into arguments in the comments.
It’s like I never left.
How dare you, browsing by everything top 12 hours is clearly superior
Only if you can’t handle New.
What you browsing on? Sync just seems off for me.
All the comment chains are fucked too.
Pshh, typical 6’er mindset. You can’t handle the levels of content when sorting by top 12 hours.
I see all your content before you, pleb
I’m down in the 2 point trenches all day. Get on my level. Clearly superior.
Typical Poopsmith, keep shoveling and fetch me when you find a golden nugget of corn.
Poopsmith?
I’m the fuckin cheat gtfo
You’re a GSA server?!
12 hour gang represent
I sort by 12 when I wake up just to make sure I’m not missing anything good. Then I switch to 6 later in the day.
More arguments than before honestly. It’s harder to curate spaces here with the smaller userbase
If you can’t get into pointless arguments with people who think the 1 mile radius around their house is representative of the entire world, what would be the point in even having a reddit replacement?
But why would you fund public transport?
The nearest house to me is 30 minutes away and my shops are a 1 hour drive.
Trains would not work anywhere.
This could be the opening line in a high school textbook for a course on how to use the Internet
This offends me, and people in my local area.
Single hot moms?
They’re bored and quite lonely, which seems to make them very cranky.
I am here. I managed to not return to Reddit, and now would only go there to look up something specific, and not as a signed up member. I make do with Lemmy. I am hoping it grows too.
I’m here, but barely. I’ve not went back to Reddit (got IP banned during the migration), but Lemmy is too focused on certain topics for me to enjoy it.
Mainly FOSS and Linux community FLOCKED to Lemmy. You really can’t say anything about anything without people coming out of the woods screaming about how stupid you are, how FOSS is better, and Linux is superior.
Remember the backlash over Sync for Lemmy? Massive hate from the Lemmy community because it wasn’t FOSS. Wouldn’t be shocked if the Boost for Lemmy dev stopped developing his app after seeing that. I feel like Lemmy is shooting itself in the foot and pushing people away.
EDIT: case in point. https://lemmy.ca/comment/3131292
People obsessed with Firefox also. It’s getting old
I’ve only moved back to Firefox because what Google is currently doing with Chrome/Chromium is terrible and harmful.
I will say, Firefox is sluggish and shit, but I refuse to allow Google to fuck over the internet.
If I had to bet I’d say most migrated to Discord. Many Reddit refugees are here and some more are on kbin. A lot of people went to squabbles.io and tildes.net too, apparently, but I’ve never used those since I’d rather stay within the fediverse.
How is Discord anything at all like reddit? Imgur I could see redditors migrating to (which is what I did at first before settling here), but Discord? Really?
All those handy conversations that were previously accessible via a search engine are now limited to a walled garden.
They’re right here on the threadiverse
Yeah, nowhere near the size of reddit, but who wants that? Easier to have discussions without bazillions of people posting crap like “works for me” or being dicks.
I don’t really trust other alternatives. Being unfederated, they rely on a closed source solution maintained by a single person or very small group of people. There’s nothing in place if the plugs ever get pulled, everything is lost and like reddit, whose to say these owners won’t turn their website slowly into the cesspit reddit is?
Yeah, an instance owner of lemmy/kbin could theoretically pull the plug on their instance or enshitify it, but you can just switch to a different instance and keep accessing the content you were.
The threadiverse/fediverse/whatever you call it I still feel is the future, so long as it survives, but it has a very long way to go to become truly sustainable as anything but a niche pocket of the internet.
It is nice to not have all the obnoxious static that comes with the huge mass of users reddit has, but that sparseness comes with the same online emptiness that living in a rural area does. Resources are much harder to find, and varied interactions with lots of people take significantly more personal effort.
I think most of them are back on Reddit.
Here
Yep this is the right place. But we are still building it, with only our own efforts. Without data mining nor investors.
Most are probably talking to chatbot on Reddit. I’m here though. I was never that into Reddit to start with though. I just need a platform to wind people up on. And Lemmy has plenty of hankies and buthurt capitalists. Both are just as easy to wind up.
