R/ videos got clever, I love it. Thier new rule is
Only text posts describing videos are permitted, and must describe a video in detail. Video links are permitted in the comments only.
That must be interesting haha
Also each post MUST include profanity. Well done, r/videos.
As someone who primarily used reddit with accessibility apps (RedReader) this would have been awesome.
Sadly, reddit doesn’t find me valuable enough to even let me try to use the site in a way that is comfortable for me
Just gave your comment a vote. In case your assistance software doesn’t register the vote.
Didn’t they actually doubled down and accessibility apps are exempt from the API pricing and can be used for free?
Although, if I was developing such app, I’d probably just stop doing it for free after how they’re treating the rest of the userbase, so there’s that…
How’s lemmy going for you? I feel like now is the perfect time to let app devs know about quality of life features.
When a subreddit accidentally does more to help blind redditors than Spez does.
What a dumpster fire for an article on mobile. Why the hell there nonsense tweets chopping the article up every paragraph lol?
Also once some of the larger subs get made here and actual content creators start coming this way, it’ll be nice.
Comics, dataisbeautiful, and anime were my jam.
The fediverse memes are so lame right now too lol. We also need way more spammable quippy advice animals for those quick scroll smiles.
Have barely been on there since it started besides to visit subs that havent even attempted to move yet, from what I have heard Reddit is definitely worse now with how many people have left, is that everyone elses perspective as well.
That’s right. There’s been a downward trend with the quality of content, especially on the tech front. What’s seemingly unaffected are location-based subs.
I was under the impression not much had changed because a small minority used 3rd party apps tbh.
It’s not just how many left, it’s who left.
Vocal minority though, surely?
I’ve visited a few times on Desktop (old.reddit) since the shutdown and the rate of new content seems to have slowed down quite drastically.Twitter metrics used to point to 90% of the content coming from 10% of the users.
If Reddit is similar, it makes sense to assume that many of the very active users were on 3rd party apps (to improve the basic experience, moderation etc.) so those being unavailable could put them off entirely (I know I’m using Reddit a fraction of what I once was).I believe the rule of thumb is the 90:9:1 ratio:
- 1% of users create original content
- 9% of users interact with that content - voting/commenting on it, sharing it, etc.
- 90% of users are essentially just in read-only mode
Not that I don’t believe you, but do you have a source about that? Quite literally for the sake of my curiosity/further reading
There’s a Wikipedia page about it with all sorts of links to rabbit holes you can go down!
Oh wow thanks for the reply! I’ve never read about this topic at all so this will definitely be fun to tumble down
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%25_rule
Seems like in 2014, a peer-reviewed study confirmed that it’s pretty close to accurate:
A 2014 peer-reviewed paper entitled “The 1% Rule in Four Digital Health Social Networks: An Observational Study” empirically examined the 1% rule in health-oriented online forums. The paper concluded that the 1% rule was consistent across the four support groups, with a handful of “Superusers” generating the vast majority of content.[6] A study later that year, from a separate group of researchers, replicated the 2014 van Mierlo study in an online forum for depression.[7] Results indicated that the distribution frequency of the 1% rule fit followed Zipf’s Law, which is a specific type of power law.
I hadn’t heard that stag from Twitter, but I really do hope that is how it is on reddit and that the content generating users have begin making the switch. Sadly, I think some of reddit recent rise in popularity attracted some folks there only for views so they’ll probably stay. Hopefully their content isn’t much to miss.
I’ve a feeling you’re not wrong about attracting users who’re solely after notoriety, though I’ve a feeling it’ll only further water down meaningful content and discussion on the platform as that no longer necessarily brings with it much in the way of karma
Indeed. Not many people hopped ship, but those who did were disproportionately power users, mods, and other content generators. Because of that, I’ve heard that Reddit content generation has somewhat slowed.
Traffic impacts will be clearer in coming months. But in my view, the amount of noise is higher.
Looking at the popular posts and even my front page, the quality has subjectively gone down. Small subs are virtually the same, but that’s not where Reddit wants to make their money.
I have that it is actually the small subs that are the most important. The big subs were very easily replaced as it was easy to build a new community from scratch. It’s the small ones that are difficult, and also the ones that pop up in search engines the most.
So many used the excuse to not participate or reopen with the explanation of we are too small to matter, but it is because the community is small to begin with that it is the ones that has the biggest pull back to reddit. Like for example if you search how to play taiko no tatsujin on pc it’s many hits of reddit that just pop up. Especially if you are looking for how to set up custom songs.
Agreed. The large subs content you can get anywhere. News, memes, made up stories, random questions with the same set of answer. Sure once you are already on reddit you might aswell consume it there for convenience, but that isn’t that special.
The small niche subs are what makes it unique. There is a reason why many people have come to add “reddit” to their google searches to find solutions to their problems.
Yeah, I had already unsubscribed from all the default subs long ago. That starts making me curious what type of subs long time reddit users who ended up leaving had avoided themselves and how long their list of filters blocking subs from showing up on /r/all were.
I can’t speak for others, but I literally never looked at r/all. I went directly to specific subs, mostly small and/or specialized. I had been on the site for something like ten years, and while I wasn’t online every day, when I was online, I was talking to people rather than lurking. For me, the whole reason I had to leave is that I went there to engage, and now that the company has made the “business decision “ to become a shithole, I no longer want to engage. So I have taken my 100% of my engagement here. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a link between being an active participant and feeling upset enough to leave. If I had been a lurker, it wouldn’t have mattered as much to me that I no longer feel comfortable contributing to spez’s data hoard.
[edit: also, as someone who was there as much to connect with cool people as I was to talk about particular topics, I am not missing specific subs nearly as much as I expected. I am getting more or less the same emotional payoff here as I did from Reddit at its best.]
Speed at which some communities have grown over few weeks has been pretty impressive that some of the subs that never migrated I’m not missing anymore. Of course there are a few that doesn’t have much people or any activity, but it’s been better than I expected.
some subs are still lively. To be expected, however Lemmy has proven a viable alternative with enough activity to keep me sated, and it’s clearly still growing. Every day a new community pops up that reflects a counterpart on Reddit and the remaining niches are quickly being filled right here.
The UFC and MMA subs haven’t moved yet despite there being a few communities on lemmy. I still go to reddit for those.
Lack of care by sports fans is the least surprising. It is after all a group that still pays for cable and puts up with ads after all. They are very addicted to the product.
It’s the gaming and pc subs that I ended up disappointed by, but then those communities ended up having good growth here without need for Reddit mods pushing migration.
Do you know of any Lemmy communities that post gaming clips? I see a ton about gaming discussions and gaming news but none with gameplay.
Game discussions and news was all I followed back on reddit, so hadn’t searched out gameplay clip focused ones. So unaware if that exists on lemmy.
I’m sure those will comes in time too I guess
And those communities haven’t a fraction of the drama and hostility. Mainly because they’re small and new, but that’s why you move to a new site, anyways.
I think the giant default subs are the same but I’ve definitely noticed less activity on my smaller niche interest subs (the whole point of reddit for me) since the apps shut down.
I genuinely don’t care. Lemmy has completely replaced reddit for me. I was a hardcore RIF user for over ten years. Connect is amazing and content had been like 90% there but with half the bullshit filler that reddit had. I honestly love it. Fuck protesting, just drop them hoes.
just drop them hoes.
😂😂😂
Yeah, this has been a good thing IMO. Reddit was getting way too toxic. I’m glad to be here with other tech people. RIP RiF
Yeah I’ve been using Sync for 12 years and Lemmy has already replaced 90% of what I actually liked about reddit.
The only thing I’m missing is team-specific pro sports communities. I think those will come as userbase increases though.
Shout out to Sync, I think my OG play store receipt for pro was in 2012.
I don’t know where to ask this, but I’ve tried several lemmy apps and I always run into a weird “not logged in” glitch where the app thinks I’m logged in but I’m actually not. My subscriptions show up, but I can’t comment, etc. If I find a way to log out then in again it’s broken again, then refresh, then it’s fine. Am I the only one with this bug? I also seem to get booted out on lemmy.world in a browser every so often too.
I’ve gotten the same thing. Chalking it up to growing pains.
Same, loving Lemmy. Only thing I’m conflicted on is when I’m trying to get that super specific search result and can’t find it anywhere else. Can’t wait until Lemmy develops that same degree of information.
Same boat here, I just miss having a button on parent comments to skip to the next parent comment in the list.
God I miss that. Jerboa has something similar so I’m using that for now
That was nice, but the developer has been really responsive so far and I expect it’ll continue improving.
Mobile apps are in a development frenzy so we’ll keep getting more and they’ll move fast to make them better. We’ll get more growth as new apps release and mature. But yeah, just give them the punt. I did when the blackouts happened and haven’t missed them one bit. I actually post a lot more here than I ever did.
I only care in so far as I want to hear every little detail about it falling apart because seeing greedy people losing everything due to their hubris is peak fucking comedy.
Yep, between Reddit and Twitter, I might need to buy some more popcorn.
It’s good for the soul
I’ll tell you what, the quality & diversity of memes here is so much better than Reddit I’m getting my friends actually asking me where I’m getting the S-tier memes lmao. I’ll never tell mwuhahahaha
Making reddit go back to their own ways is not victory. We need to get redditors onto Lemmy. It is up to us to use Lemmy and spread its awareness to redditors.
I wrote about migrating to Lemmy and got banned from some subreddit…
Not surprised, i messaged many moderators about a community in lemmy and many seem to care less. However I got a few moderators over from reddit onto lemmy.
Some mods may be concerned about losing their mod status if they go to Lemmy.
They need to create the communities they mod on lemmy and there are plenty of instances to choose from.
Not their precious janitorial powers!
Making reddit go back only shows they have the motive, means, and now another opportunity to try again.
Kill it. Leave their corpse at the gates so others know not to alienate all the cattle.
I’ll do my part to welcome anyone who joins here, but there are plenty of knuckleheads on reddit who will give you shit for having any kind of principles that take a long term view or make life anything other than blissfully convenient. I have no motivation to try to convince those people.
Out of curiosity, what do you mean by this? What sort of views did you get shit for?
Someone said to me (paraphrasing), “you aren’t going to leave. I’m going to keep an eye on your account to see. You’re all making a big deal out of nothing. The official app is fine and you’re just being crybabies. “Waaa my app!” You aren’t going anywhere and I’ll call you out if I see you comment or post.”
I haven’t commented or posted since Apollo shut down and I don’t intend to.
Ahh, the internet blooms with summer children in July.
Caring about how large internet companies or corporations in general treat their users, and putting my money where my mouth is when I disagree with them. To some people, this is a reason to rethink your life.
The Witcher subreddit mods put up a poll about whether or not they should extend their protest (Every post from the start of the protest had been about The Hexer an old poor adaptation of the witcher). I commented that I supported the continued protests, because charging exorbitant prices is unfair to moderators that do what they do for free, and unfair to the 3rd party app developers who gain no income from developing their apps. Someone came at me with this argument;
buddy i work 48 hours a fucking week i’m just trying to enjoy and discuss things about fandoms i enjoy while i’m taking a shit. i could care less about these protests, all it’s doing is fucking up my potty time
Like, from a self-centered point of view, how dense do you have to be to not understand that moderators not having access to their tools is going to “fuck up your potty time”.
well I called him;
Self centered, selfish and uncaring.
I mean seriously, have some common decency to fight for the platform you browse daily. I just don’t get some people, really. Well regardless, Lemmy has been a much better place, though I can’t imagine that’ll last forever.
As someone who thinks like said user, they fucked up my potty time because I used RIF. I couldn’t care less about protests and other shit, but I won’t install Reddit official app because it’s bad and I need an android app. I don’t want to browse from Firefox. Therefore, here I am. Most people aren’t too invested into reddit and creating too many barriers will drive the away. The reason I don’t use reddit is the same reason I don’t use Twitter, Facebook, and hardly ever open Instagram: their apps/sites are just too inconvenient to use due to little things such as forcing logins, ads, pushing internal browsers, pushing their own image/video hosting…
I like Tiktok, on the other hand, despite doing a lot of the same shit, and YouTube haven’t annoyed me enough to leave yet.
Every post from the start of the protest had been about The Hexer an old poor adaptation of the witcher
The quality was shite, but at least it respected the source material.
Like, from a self-centered point of view, how dense do you have to be to not understand that moderators not having access to their tools is going to “fuck up your potty time”.
A friend of mine said that his opinion is, that the end user is the one being shat on by those protests. Pal, the end user is being shat on, that’s true, but that’s why the protests started. According to him, the official app is not that add ridden and it’s no big deal. That was June 30 afternoon. He won’t be able to compare those apps now and I do hope, when whatever lovely communities he missed so much during the protests go down in quality under new moderation, I can say “I told you so”.
The quality was shite, but at least it respected the source material.
Yeah fair enough, in some aspects, it’s leagues better than the Netflix one haha
But regardless, the way the Admins were pushing the Moderators around by the end of it is something I just can’t support. I hate bullies.
Like, from a self-centered point of view, how dense do you have to be to not understand that moderators not having access to their tools is going to “fuck up your potty time”.
this is the summary of 60% of reddit now
pissy white boys mad that their entertainment driven by free labor was interrupted
mad that their entertainment driven by free labor was interrupted
Exactly, my point. These people have such a shallow view point that they can’t stand to have their content interrupted for a few weeks to fight for better online rights. That’s why your platform is currently a burning garbage fire. Enjoy your “potty time” now.
Honestly I imagine a lot of the people fighting against the protests were people paid for by reddit admins to try and sow discourse amongst users. Well, I wonder how that went for them considering the drop in content, and the rising migrations to Lemmy. It sucks because in losing Reddit - the information super highway that it has become - we as a species lose a lot of important information, and a lot of niche questions that wouldn’t be answered otherwise. But that doesn’t mean we can’t ask them again here on Lemmy. 🙂
Losing the info highway sucks but I wouldn’t say it’s a loss as a species. The majority of users are in North America and then the broader anglosphere. So it’s definitely a loss in that cultural space. But the majority of the world, like India China Korea, doesn’t give a fuck about Reddit.
fair enough.
this is the summary of 60% of reddit now
Likely because that’s who is left on the platfrom. 60% who actively don’t care, and the other 40% who either haven’t realised what’s happening or have no idea what’s going on.
Oh, it would be a victory. But only until they try it again. And again, and again…
Not to worry, we will be still flying half a social network
I was using reddit less and less, but when the furry subreddits made their way into /r/popular and /r/all that was it for toilet browsing/squat’n’surfing… Seeing a sign for ‘werewolf breeding zone’ was enough for me.
I’ve never cared for furry stuff, but hell, I probably would’ve stayed if I’d gotten anything nearly as hilarious as “werewolf breeding zone” instead of all the religious and techbro crap I was getting through their ads.
Yes! What was up with that Jesus ad, ad nauseum? Weird and also just boring.
But he GETS us, yknow??? vomit
I’ve been wondering that too, since I found the campaign to pester my kids constantly. Tried to clean their browser history and change the algorithm but it keeps popping up.
Basically it’s a disgusting attempt to brainwash kids.
From Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_Gets_Us
The campaign primarily targets younger demographics and religious skeptics
He Gets Us has faced criticism over the extensive spending by the campaign, its donors’ support of anti-abortion and anti-LGBT groups, and disputes over claims that the campaign is apolitical.
most of the individual donors who provided the money have chosen to remain anonymous.
Maybe ‘he gets us’ is not the best thing for religions to be saying to kids considering all the sexual abuse scandals…
Apparently even the omniscient and omnipotent don’t know who their followers are and have to advertise to find them.
I now have the mental image of Spez frantically struggling to explain to advertisers why their posts were appearing besides werewolf breeding zone memes. So thanks for that.
I tried other Reddit apps after Apollo shut down but they all kinda suck. I got Memmy and it’s amazing. The interface is very similar.
These kinds of posts remind me exactly of my first few days on reddit post Digg Great Migration. There was a great multipage webcomic made then too.
So you have lived two apocalypses? I bet this is a good story for your descendants!
God damn us internet vets have seen the rise and fall of many a digital empire. Refugees moving from 1 shell to the next,
IRC/AIM->Skype/vent/mumble->discord/signal/telegram,
netscape->IE->Firefox/Chrome/Chromium,
message boards/use groups->digg/reddit->Lemmy,
Search engines like ask jeeves->Google/yahoo->google.
Napster->kazaa/limewire->torrents/magnet links->Sonarr/Streaming Sites
I could go on but yeah it was insane.
Makes me think back to the days of YTMND, eBaumsworld, & Newgrounds, which would have been the early internet for me. Or the old IRC emulation channel I followed. All my in real life friends were on MSN Messenger, and all my online friends were on IRC
Don’t forget Myspace. I so miss that, Xanga, and AIM.
Yahoo came before most search engines. Then there was lycos and webcrawler and the early search engines that were always overloaded, then came stuff like Google.
Also don’t forget stuff like prodigy and compuserve and bbs’s before the web had much content.
I remember having a list of numbers to multiple BBS services. Fun times. The fediverse reminds me of the old BBS’.
Does anyone remember xFire? It was the first ingame overlay chat program I used. Long before I had a Steam account.
Lol yep, didn’t use it as much as vent but I def remember it and that early 2000s XTREME design.
I just deleted all my Reddit accounts over this now only use lemmy.
Ribbit
Is that right? I was under the impression majority opened back up.
Tbh I don’t really care either way, I haven’t been on reddit for 3 weeks now.
I’m enjoying Lemmy more and more each day. From the moment I loaded Wefwef, I knew I had a new home. It’s not perfect, but it was reminiscent enough of Apollo for me to know that Lemmy is a contender. I still mainly use desktop access, but having a mobile app I can pull up and scroll made me feel much better about leaving Reddit.
Dropped Reddit due the API changes and dumsterfire after that with the CEO. I get they need to make money, but this was simply aimed at taking down third party apps and services.
I really hope this place will grow.
The worst thing about it is that they could have accomplished all their goals if they didn’t shove it on people with a months notice and then Spaz going on a media tour shitting on mods and users
If they just made third party apps a premium feature, they would have seen a much smaller revolt and a significant increase in the number of premium subscribers. Seems like that would have been the obvious approach.
Exactly this. Most people would have caved if they had given a 1yr update period and spez had kept his mouth shut. This move screams of a knee jerk reaction to try bd suddenly raise the profit margins, and spez had no idea how the users would revolt.
I think they really expected the 1 month timeline to blow over too
This is what gets me. Christian Selig pointed out in a number of interviews that Reddit could have easily made this work without alienating a huge segment of their user base. I get this vague feeling lately like CEOs are intentionally trying to tank their products, because no one so well paid could actually act so dumb.
deleted by creator
It’s people like Spez and Elon who would be the first to die off in a post-apocalyptic scenario. Their “Smarts” won’t do shit if they don’t know how to survive. Not to mention high profile people will likely be the first on the chopping blocks.
Also being “smart” in an apocalypse likely means building allies and connections. Which can only happen if people can trust your word and don’t think you’re a dick. Something that describes neither of them.
I think he was blinded by the thought of money. When the media reported that ChatGPT trained it’s models using Reddit comments, he flipped out and rushed to slam the gates shut immediately, while telling investors he had potentially billions of dollars worth of data to sell. When he found out that Apollo app and others sell subscriptions, it’s clear from his comments that he got angry and called them all parasites. He wants to be the gatekeeper of Reddit and become a billionaire with it, but his actions fundamentally misunderstand Reddit and will trigger a mass exodus. The content creators are leaving, and while Reddit will still get traffic the content will become stale and it will be another 9gag.
Agreed. I just can’t figure out the reason(s) they’re doing it though.
Borrowing money isn’t cheap any more. The venture capital’s that have been propping up these platforms have decided the risk is now too high, and they’re trying to extract as much of their investment as they can, by any means necessary. I think the venture capitalists see a major recession in or near future, and our battening down the hatches.
Like, I’m nowhere near this stupid. I’ll run your company better for half what he’s paid
I’m absolutely convinced I could do a better job. He’s a fool
Truth is CEOs do dumb shit all the time because most of them are not the “genius” worth all that pay everyone seems to think.
Of course there are many that are worth the pallets of cash they make but it drives all the mid tier to junk CEO compensation up.
Ribbit
I should check mine. I deleted everything (that I had patience and time for) that had a lot of upvotes.
I wish I had left some of the helpful stuff that I deleted because I still find myself getting led to Reddit when searching for phone related fixes.
That’s my dilemma too - on the one hand, I want to delete my stuff (not that much of it is worth anything anyway), because fuck the way Reddit has acted and will monetise it.
On the other hand, if anything I ever posted was good/useful/helpful/amusing to other people, then I don’t want to remove that just for the sake of spiting Spez.
Haven’t been back to Reddit since the blackout, except once when I accidentally clicked a google search result to a post there (illustrating my point about potentially helping other people). Don’t really miss it either. Lemmy is great, and I’m glad to see that so far it has lasted beyond the initial rush.
You can still delete manually. I sorted my comments by top and edited them to gibberish.
Some people have mentioned their posts being reverted back after those kind of edits.
Man, it’s a damned good thing my posts and comments never add any value to the conversation.
Seriously though, while I haven’t deleted my account yet, in the hope that maybe thing could shift, if/when I do I would like to remove my content.
Is there a known way to remove posts and comments from reddit? I guess they can always just restore from backups. Maybe instead of replacing with “.” or gibberish, making a simple copy pasta to replace them with so it isn’t so obvious.
I really like Lemmy better than new reddit because scrolling the front page reminds me of 2010-2016 Reddit. I hated when they added ADS and removed the NSFW subs from the front page. Everything about NEW Reddit sucked.
Lemmy fixed new reddit and I ain’t going back.
That’s what the 3rd party apps did best: didn’t show ads, let me filter posts with keywords in their titles, and let me use /r/frontpage as my default (NSFW posts show in that feed)
I think Lemmy will, just give it time.
They took my reddit is fun away! Actually disgusting imo.
Dropped Reddit a month ago after 12 years of daily use and while it was tough in the initial days Lemmy/Kbin activity has really picked up and is beginning to absolutely fill the gap. Just need the apps and a bit more stability and think it’s going to be a proper successor.
When the protest started I poked around the Fediverse and it was a ghost town and was a little concerned that Reddit might not have any competition. But since the end of June posts and content have been going way up, and the quality of the posts is way better than Reddit, even before spez fucked things up.
Yeah I think a lot of people were skeptical if Reddit would actually follow through initially… I know I was. I thought they would back pedal, but realized shortly after Spez’s disastrous AMA that wasn’t gonna happen. Someone else mentioned Lemmy in a different thread and that’s how I first heard of it. After some research to learn about the fediverse and ActivityPub, badda-bing, badda-boom, I’m here and haven’t looked back.
/r/heat was a big loss for me. But /c/nba is actually nice, since everyone has been respectful. I avoided /r/nba since everyone was so hostile to each other and it contributed so much to me hating most fanbases.
Hello fellow /r/heat sub. I’ll have to check out /c/nba then. How long does it take for a sub to be confirmed? Mines been on pending for a while.
The pending is apparently a bug and still see the feed as though you are subscribed.
I think a big help will be creating a streamlined sign-up process in the apps themselves. Menus to pick a server and create an account. Maybe tell the user which servers are biggest/ask if they wanna browse servers by specific content leanings. That way it’s not intimidating. I’m a tech guy and even I was a bit perplexed in the beginning and that will keep anyone with a non-technical background away: we tech nerds forget that things not “just working” isn’t a feature in the eyes of a majority of people. (For better or for worse.)
I have been using Kbin exclusively while waiting for the Artemis app to be released but I decided to Memmy for Lemmy to see what the hype was all about. Well I’m loving Memmy, it does exactly what you discussed. The app makes it super easy choose an instance and create an account. Does the app need some work? Yes but it’s leaps and bounds better than browsing through a mobile web browser.
I use both Memmy as its based off of Apollo but there’s also wefwef you might want to check out but I like Memmy more
Yeah I spent 2 weeks on Jerboa unable to post, comment, subscribed etc because the instance I joined was not yet a login option on the app. Still have that issue with every other app.
You can tell the devs are working hard on these apps though. It’s a race to get a polished app released before people lose interest in leaving reddit.
Liftoff has been pretty good for me. Might be worth exploring.
Indeed. I’ve seen the rate of app updates pick up recently, and I feel it’s noticeably smoother than a couple weeks ago. Great effort is being done and I’m grateful towards the devs for that.
Just in case you don’t already know: On most apps you can type in your instance instead of selecting one from the drop down menu. Im on a small instance too and it took me a week or so to figure it out last month lol
I look forward to talking about my first few weeks on Lemmy in years to come: “Back then I had to use an app that was in alpha and wait ten minutes to load a page full of bean memes! And then we got hacked!”
Same here.
There are a few (very few) communities I am still waiting to become active and useful here but Reddit has been moved to page 4 or my social media folder and I rarely ever scroll to it.
Good riddance too. The move to Lemmy/Kbin also pushed me back onto Mastodon and I could not be happier.
Is there a 101 for dummies about lemmy/kbin/mastodon? I dont know what any of those words mean
Edit: just realized kbin isnt on there. Kbin is another Lemmy-affiliated site, but it also lets you see mastodon posts. You need a seperate kbin login to use it, but the site looks similar and behaves similarly to any Lemmy instance.
Same, a little bit of added qol to Memmy as well as some content on some of the more niche communities I used to frequent and Reddit will be solely used for searching obscure problems in the future if even that.
