Yea... see... the problem is that I never create content, i just browse...

Things are more like they are now, than they have ever been before.

i agree. when people come here well have a better chance of getting them to stay if theres good content. but a little would still be good since theyre coming here angry at reddit most likely.

the same thing happened with Mastodon for a while after Elon took over Twitter, lots of people posting Twitter news and talking about what has happening on Twitter. might be best to just wait it out 🤷‍♀️

The biggest issue with most Reddit-like websites is that the general user-base tends to talk a lot about Reddit and why they hate it.

The issue with lack of content is the 90-9-1 rule. I’m planning to actually start posting to this website soon just to start more discussions and topics. Post anything and everything; it’s how a site like this grows.

Been uploading pics of my cats, a few old memes I have that made me laugh again, and even one of my old car. Believe me, some of us are trying!

you first

Even in new everything is reddit this, reddit that, lets stop.

So that Spez guy I tell ya...

Yeah the internet is abuzz with Spez's antics, don't expect that to die down for a while. If they follow through with the deadline it will be even worse.

Still we can add other stuff, maybe drown out the roar a bit. Can always use more communities, I have some good ones now, but I still need a couple I'm lacking.

Not sure if it will get any front page traction, but I've already gone out of my way to write some (hopefully good) posts about my favourite NAS technology, unRAID ( https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] ). I have a number of other information and problem solving posts I'll migate over from reddit before I delete my content there.

hell yeah, but how does one make a sub-lemmy? I've been wanting to make one but not too sure how! also, I don't know how to mod or anything lol. can I appoint people to do it?

Reddit blackout was all I saw until I clicked “Communities” at the top and subscribed to my interests. Now there’s lots of other stuff too.

the "perfectlycutmeows" community is working here and a couple other instances, as well as a magazine on kbin.social and a channel on dalek.zone, so you can count me in and you can search for it yourself

I've been doing my part and posting content I'm interested in. I hope more people do and that this site picks up.

I think the drama will continue and we'll see an uptick after July 1st when the third party apps dies. But this too shall pass. Just give it some time.

I run a nice London community at the feddit.uk instance, while it's not front page material I highly suggest just finding communities that fill your niche and subscribing to those. The Reddit stuff will die down when this place starts to establish it's own identity but for now lets now start from bottom and work our way up to a unique community then just being Reddit for those who don't like Reddit.

There is also SNOOcalypse dedicated for people who want to vent about Reddit.

Nice meta commentary

well i am making a point to not go to reddit anymore so i'm glad people post here about what's happening during the blackout etc here so i can see it.

It'll get better over time as things settle in. Right now reddit is just the hottest topic on the block

I'm in support of this. I was explaining to my wife just a bit ago that most of the "content" on lemmy and kbin is all about lemmy and kbin, and very little about anything else. For those of us coming from reddit, most of the content on reddit isn't about reddit. I'd like it if lemmy and kbin was mostly original content.

You know, I tried creating content about animal facts and nobody read it.

Already have more posts and comments than my 12 year reddit history. I'm trying my best to adapt and survive.

I am actually trying to find more of it! I love burn corposhit style drama. Its a bit all over the place though so i can see why its annoying. Maybe i should start my own community..

I’m tired of the Reddit and fed drama. Ready to move on.
