I’m locking this because too many people are shouting at each other here because of moderation practices.
This is not a complaints forum. See pinned post.
One of my largest pain points with Lemmy is that there are multiple active communities for the same topic, causing quite a few duplicate posts to show up in my feed that is difficult to filter. Hopefully there comes some kind of solution, outside of userbase, this is (what I believe) one of the larger issues compared to Reddit.
However, I still switched over to Lemmy for my primary ‘Reddit’-needs.
Lets make this a new reddit but better!
Shaddow Banned from Reddit for making some Luigi Mangione prayer candles got thousands of likes and bam old high karma account banned forever. No response from Reddit. Noticed on the shadow ban page that tons of people getting these bans everyday and no response from Reddit . Suggested we protest at Reddit headquarters in SF and now I’m banned from Shadow page ban lol. Nice to be here though
What constitutes an active user? Is a new lurker like myself counted or is there a threshold of minimum action needed to be counted?
I will shitpost harder.
I’m doing my part!
Lemmy is the only federated service I actually enjoy using. Just missing being able to block an entire @something instead of having to block every single community of it
and no I do not want to “choose another host that does block it”, it should be a user choice.
Subjectively, Lemmy’s communities are much more robust and have a lot more content than they did during the Reddit API exodus. I imagine there will be more people who choose to stay this time around.
Yep, I discovered let me during the API Exodus, and then came back recently with this last wave. They’re definitely feels like there’s a lot more here than last time!
Also finding a lot of value in reading and actually interacting with comments and content, on Reddit I just felt kind of drowned out and a lurker
The problem is that communities feel dead if they’re below a certain critical mass of users and the resulting content. If we can hit that critical mass it will take off on its own
Yep we all need to get posting and chatting to encourage others
I’m trying to do my part
Love your name BTW its adorable
Yeah working a lot of OT seeding this joint!
How many people use reddit
Glad to be here!!
Neat
🥔
I am ready to give up Reddit, we need more communities to move here!
Made a similar post yesterday on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com , nice to celebrate again!
2025 is the year of the Lemmyverse!
*threadiverse, we don’t want to exclude other software
I’m excited to see where software development is going to go. It seems like every major microblogging platform has a few different flavors and there are multiple platform choices available. What were using is just the beginning, the software can only ever get better really. It’s not like the corporate world where they make shit worse on purpose to make more money. And as the software gets better than use might increase as well since you can do more and do it easier and more elegantly
It seems like every major microblogging platform has a few different flavors
Do you mean every major social media platform?
I haven’t seen any lemmy forks yet
You should definitly try them. :)
- Mbin : you can connect to mastodon account, they support flair, filter by content type. I don’t use it a lot but enjoy it.
- Piefed : a good moderation board, flair, multi-community (feed), peertube support…
They’re not forks, but we have piefed and mbin (fork of kbin) and a couple more that have shut down
True, but this graph only shows Lemmy users, right?
Correct. However with ActivityPub protocol those number are irrevalent : any increase of users from (Lemmy, Mbin, Piefed) will benefit Lemmy, Mbin, Piefed.
And to a certain extend, on Mbin and later Piefed, they will also reach microblogging plateform as iceshrimp and mastodon. Then pixelfed, peertube, loops…
Yeah
The more people that transition over here the better it’ll be (outside of some of some subs). I’m hopeful to see more community engagement.
the more and more reddit increasing thier filters to ban or remove comments we will see more. it going to take permabans for people to come here in large numbers. sooner or later reddit is just a clone of FACEBOOK.
Greeting new Lemmings!
Please wipe your feet, we don’t want anyone tracking in any spez.
