Lemmy is going to look more appealing as time goes on.
I came here a week ago from Reddit! There are dozens of us!

MODERATORS
Welcome! I hope you stay.
I left during the whole API thing awhile back. I really like it here. With less people it feels more like a community. People are generally more respectful and when they're not they get very lonely very fast.
What was your reason?
I can't innocently talk about Nintendo and Luigi without Reddit mods going nuclear.
This is where they want you. Head down to the dock and he’ll show you to the Census Office.
And don't steal any expensive platters!
Welcome !
How much are the Reddit owners banning any mention of Lemmy, though?
A lot! They’re clamping down hard on any posts that mention the platform even the moderators sadly.
Maybe we need a euphemism... like... uhh.... "the shadow platform" or something? No wait... "the 'emmy"? "the lemony place"?
Hmm, "the lemony place" is close, but I'd really prefer "the lemony party".
Or maybe just "lemon party" to simplify it a bit more.
I'll go google that just to make sure it's not taken by something else.
The enemy of my enemy is on Lemmy
The Lenemys! You're a genius, IninewCrow!
We need to be sure they know its a party going on, so it be:
LemOnParty
Lemon-stealing whores.
Whenever I see this referenced it makes me think of an old man I worked for named Olan. Olan was an asshole. He was a jerk. He was just a miserable old man with no redeeming qualities.
We did odd jobs for him because he was in a wheelchair and couldn't do them anymore. One time my brother was cleaning out a disgusting, moldy, vile stench filled chest freezer for him while he screeched at my brother for gagging, and chucking random shit at him for being "a whiny little faggot"
But the thing that makes me remember him when I hear "lemon stealing whore" is this day a friend visited him while we were there, and the friend asked about some guy who used to work for him
Friend: whatever happened to Bill?
Olan: fired him. He stole my battery terminal cleaners*
Friend: he did?
Olan: yeah. Died, too. Stung by some bees.
Friend: that's a shame
Olan: he's cleaning in batteries in hell now
*Terminal cleaners, if you don't know, are at most a 10 dollar item
ppl can just say the non lemmy instances, im making a private one called hardlywork.ing, just reccomend any url that isnt lemmy, I think theres moistcatsweat, any like that. They'll figure out its lemmy once they're on it
Also lemmy isnt lemmy, its technically just one way into the threadiverse with more coming, piefed and kbin may be fine to mention
That's a great idea. That way they also don't have to go through the whole problem of "how do I pick the right instance"?

I kind of always knew believing reddit was some kind of pure platform basically required being a stereotypical Californian but its declined so heavily in the last 10 years.
Its the number of clearly stupid replies you get now that really irritates me, from people who've very clearly not read or understood what you've said. It used to be a place where the average user seemed to be a PHD looking for cat pictures
I wrote that and now I'm imagining being required to take an exam to join a subreddit. Stupid idea but it would probably restore that sort of tone.
^This... and my ax (am I doing it "right"?) It's human nature and we'll do it again here unless we remain vigilant against the trend.

Unpopular opinion: they like it there, and aren't going to switch no matter what happens. We'll see.
Well I'm here to stay because fuck reddit
Yeah, ever since Apollo died, I can't go back.
Having Voyager on Android has been a real life saver.
They're far too addicted to the algorithmic brain rot to switch of their free will.
Tbf there is FAR more content there, and also somehow less authoritarianism and echo chamber effect than here - like we have the modlog but they have modmail and the ability for people to continue their already started conversations on posts after removal from the sub, while here (without even a notification sent to the user) we simply have a message like "Rule 1" (which says nothing at all about why a message might have been removed...?).
If we want to attract more users, then like Bluesky, we need to do better at meeting the desires that users actually have, rather than like Mastodon simply complain why nobody wants to come here. PieFed, Mbin, and Sublinks are attempting to do that, so there's hope, but we are still a long ways away yet.
Sublinks
I would just refrain from mentioning Sublinks until there is at least a working instance with a minimal product

What happened this time?
I'm curious, too. I suppose I'm out of the loop!
If someone like Musk were to take control of Reddit, be prepared. Let's be real, Spez is not even in the same league as Musk in terms of being unpalatable to Redditors so claiming something like "already has been" is ... a choice. But for sure, if someone far worse takes over, there will be an exodus. And frankly, the Fediverse is fully unprepared to handle that, so that'll be fun.
Which is why Musk will keep spez to take the blame, just tweaking the site slightly to not allow it to ban links to X anymore.
When Musk took over Twitter I deleted all my Tweets and never even visited the site again, blocked on parental filters and through NextDNS.
I had been there since 2006.
I would definitely do the dame for Reddit if Musk took over, and I have been there since like 2010 and have some million total karma across several accounts (mostly on one).
I actually did quit for about a year when they killed 3rd party apps.
Just do it now, why wait.
Also, don't forget the following:
-
Open All, sort by new, click through upvote and downvote buttons randomly.
-
Sort by hot, open random post, comment something completely wrong and unrelated to the post.
-
Go to explore, pick random subreddit, sort by top year or all time. Pick random post from the first dozen and repost it back into the same subreddit. Not cross-post, just copy whatever title/image/text/link there are without changing a thing. Bonus points for doing this on subreddits for current events and hitting a frontpage
-
Do NOT delete the account. The account age and karma will shield you from anti spam/bot protections in case you ever decide to do it again.

I feel like spez is swallowing billiard balls to be ready to accomodate musk

Lemmy needs to drastically improve the UX before it'll become big
I've found a good 3rd party web app, Alexandrite.app although that's just another hurdle to entry like picking an instance. The official web UI should be much better.
Yea there are just way too many hurdles

That will be when old.reddit is culled. They have been preparing to quell future dissidents for a year now and this decision would be the only one that I can think of which would bring that much outrage
I fucking love this meme lolol
Welcome new friends! 💜
The problem for me was not Lemmy. I still believe in Lemmy, the Prolem was that slrpnk.net really was not user friendly. I'm writting this from phtn.app which someone told me about and it's awesome! Looks wayyy more like Mastodon and something from today :D
Glad that you found it, enjoy!
This is not a drill.
- Reddit temporarily bans r/WhitePeopleTwitter after Elon Musk claimed it had ‘broken the law’
- Reddit is purging NSFW subs as well as trans-related subreddits
The Reddit post in the second link starts:
Olympus has fallen folks, r/rule34 has been banned!
Holy smokes they're really hammering hard now with the clampdown. Even r/transgender_surgeries got nuked...
It wont be long before they start shutting down old reddit.
Seems that sub is back now. It turned out to be a drill. We just need to be better prepared next time.
