Can we please stop with all the posts about reddit? Jesus christ you guys it's a website, not your crazy ex. Lemmy is never going to surpass reddit in popularity when the only thing on the frontpage besides beans is "reddit this, reddit that".
You sound mildly infuriated.
He should make a post about it!
This too shall pass. Also. Welcome to the internet!
Have a look around.
Anything that brain of yours can think of can be found.
we’ve got mountains of content
Some better, some worse
If none of it's of interest to you, you'd be the first
Weeelcome, to the internet!
come and take a seat.
Would you like to see the news or any famous women's feet?
Some better, some worse
And if it can't, and you've reached the edge where there is nothing further, you write a Tutorial.
Honestly, I'm really trying to like Lemmy. I feel like none of the good communities came over here, just the one's you mindlessly scroll through. I just looked for a fitness community yesterday and the one i found had like 5 posts. There is basically no communities for any of my hobbies. It seems like most people stayed on Reddit, except for the techy people. It's a shame because I really want to support the idea of federation and I do like the website.
Be the change you want to see. There are probably other people looking for those coversations, but see low engagement and move on. The more you post the more attractive it makes the community for other people.
I have also found that even if there are fewer comments, other people tend to respond and have more discussions.
I do have alot of hope that well see the community continue to grow & hopefully more activity as people search out reddit alternatives.
it's only been like a week, people will come
It's been three since the exodus became measurable. And it is markedly better.
If you build it they will come.
I heard that same advice about The Bunny Bar down the street, and you know what? They were right!
The endless scrolling communities are the easiest to move. They're low hanging fruit. One of the other replies to you here nailed it... without a massive community of millions, the future of Lemmy rests on the more modestly sized community here willing to actually come out of their lurk and not just respond to posts, but to start posts on their own and actually drive the content.
I feel the same way about music production-related communities here. I just don't have much to ask and I suck pretty badly at it so I don't feel like I'm good enough to drive content/discussions lol
Probably not what you mean, but if you wanna start doing anything, I've got a com specifically for sheet music and tabs, and God Almighty does it blow. It could use a fresh insight.
Which fitness subreddits need growth? I have arrived.
I initially had the same lament, but since we're early adopters of this tech, it really is on us to build the communities here. If you want to discuss something, just post a thread. Even if no one replies right away, as people start coming they will start engaging with posts that are already there.
That's a fair point, I noticed if I open baconreader, I can still see my subscribed sub list. I need to learn how to make subs on here, and as you suggest, either find them, or get off my ass and make them myself.
On a nice side note, being an early adopter, I was able to get my username back without some damned number stapled on the end.
The only real community I saw that migrated was r/piracy. Otherwise, I've experienced basically the same thing you have.
Even from 3 weeks ago, this place has grown hand over fist. Just give it a few more weeks and it'll be pretty much new Reddit.
It's less than a week after the largest website in the world shit the bed. It's still topical.
Yeah it seems most of the posts on the front page are about Reddit or about how proud people are of using Lemmy etc I just want to see some actual content :(
It’s classic tribal or “sports team” mentality. Ex-redditors want to see reddit fail just as much as Lemmy succeed.
It's not a sports team mentality. The CEO pretty much disparaged a lot of users who were actively engaging in profit-making ventures for Reddit. Moderators, being unpaid spam filters, were lauded as entitled brats (landed genetry). He also explicitly got mad that people were using "his" content, content that Reddit never made yet is happily wants to profit off of. He did all of this while basically calling third-party app developers leeches despite them making apps with features Reddit's native app lacks.
People want to see Reddit fail because Reddit pissed off the people that generated their value. People want to see Lemmy succeed because it is federated and cannot be abused like a central platform.
I’m only explaining the behavior. There’s very good reason for it, and I very much also want to see both Lemmy succeed and Reddit fail.
I do imagine those type of people exist too, but probably not that much on Lemmy. Think of the 4chan type that love their "tribe" stirring up drama in other "tribes". Lots of that still on Reddit too, and hopefully it stays over there.
Not gonna lie, I'd absolutely love to watch reddit implode while eating some popcorn.
sad bean noises
It's an online community that people have been using for decades. The fact that many of us can't use it anymore is a real issue, even if it isn't relevant to you (believe it or not).
I can for sure see both sides of this one. I had ditched all other social media years ago, and baconreader was my one guilty pleasure.
If I had my phone in my hand, I was catching up with other old skaters like myself, reading about the latest trends in tech, or browsing the daily news.
The tag line of "Front page of the internet" was quite literally true for me. That was the portal through which I found content.
In the weeks leading up to the June 30th, I felt a strong sadness, what was I going to do with my screen time? I had created a very custom space using baconreader that neither the reddit app, or to be fair, Lemmy, could provide.
While I am really enjoying learning about Lemmy, and I feel the quality of the post and comments here are far better, it's going to take time to find and/or develop those niche communities again.
I do however agree, and the ex analogy is spot on, that the last thing I want is for this community to just be a bitch fest about what once was.
Give people a bit of time to vent, it hasn't even been a week since a decades long experience came crashing to a halt through no fault of ours.
It certainly is crazy, and some people spent more time there than with the grilfriend they never had, so...
Ouch
But, if my ex isn't crazy, then I must've been the crazy one... and that just couldn't be possible, right?
One ex is always the crazy one, that's just basic thermodynamics
Agreed. I saw your post and reddit.
Fucking same. If folk don’t miss it please stop telling every cunt how much you don’t miss it.
Tbh you all need to get used to it for a while, every day new people join and they wanna talk about their migration, it's what's going on for them right now, you had your moment let them have theirs
Redditors still talk about the great digg migration that happened over a decade ago.
It'll get less important and prevalent but for the time being let people enjoy their new toy.
Digg was rarely brought up on Reddit until valid comparisons were able to be drawn between platforms. The elevated Reddit talk on this site will naturally subside in due time.
Agreed, plus it increases engagement and comment count.
It's a huge [email protected] to karma farm about the downfall of reddit
Well, karma for all, then.
This is why I eventually left Mastodon after a month of use. People are not moving on 😬
