Me over here just vibing by myself on my own self-hosted instance that I pay out of pocket for. I go find communities I like and subscribe to them, and it’s enough to keep me interested and engaged, without most of the bullshit Reddit has.
Definitely a good route!
Exactly this
It’s not a service issue, it’s a people issue. Just wait and see Lemmy just turn up the same.
Tell your friends about the Boost app. It makes things so much easier.
I’m using Arctic and really like it! Apollo vibes.
Boost has ads. Just FYI, I use it and like it a lot but some can’t stand ads
Fair. I paid the small one-off fee to disable ads and yeah, that’s that. :)
Better than sync?
I used Boost when it was for Reddit, and never looked back. It’s got everything I could need so yeah. All that for Lemmy is amazing.
Voyager has big Apollo vibes which I am appreciating
Reddit still has niches that (unfortunately) exist nowhere else, probably won’t exist anywhere else soon due to the need for foot traffic, and are tolerable as long as old.reddit.com stays up.
And it’s the lesser evil over Discord.
Lemmy is of course 1000x better, but it doesn’t matter if your niche there is a ghost town.
But, at least trying to grow said niches didn’t hurt. I’ve been on lemmy for more than a year and i’ve both created new horror groups and “adopted” abandoned one and, at the very least, now there’s some life there. Nothing amazing, but people post and interact now.
If a group you find interesting is abandoned just start posting there, also, if the mods are gone for more than 9 months, just ask to the instances admins to become the new Moderator, all it took is to send a mail most of the time.
I only lurk on Reddit these days, but if old reddit goes away I’ll be completely done with it.
anything worth value, is 3 > 4 years old, and all those users are “deleted”.
if google and duck duck go stop indexing old.redd, I’ll probably never see it again.
The mods are not better here.
Are you sure it’s not just your instance?
Yes.
mango is both retarded, and unrelatedly correct.
Reddit: porn
Lemmy: no porn
There’s like, a whole instance for porn.
Many instances are defederated but not dbzer0
The key is to make your own porn account on lemmynsfw
Yeah but OP is from dbzer0, and i bet some smaller one doesn’t defederate as well.
That was my point. I have a dbzer0 account as well and I block all these communities so I’m surprised they don’t even see them
Edit: I block them as in I don’t want to see them personally but I don’t care if others do
Are the better mods in the room with us now?
Reddit on pc and lemmy on the phone. Better content on reddit with discussions not always becoming an ad for linux
Recently found a FF extension that works with RES to make the old.reddit mobile site…not a nightmare to use…
Now I pretty much just open reddit when I want tech news and/or feel hopeless…
I think most people here would take the left path but there might be a selection bias at play
Is there more privacy though? What you post is public and people can use the api/scrape it soo…
We are free from “intrusive advertisers who tracks every movement, clicks and time spent on each kind of post, comment or whatever”
As well as device fingerprinters
That being the case, I would LOVE better search indexing, so I could search Lemmy, then reddit, THEN the rest of the web lol.
yeah, this is literally a public forum. Everything posted is public. Nothing is private.
Privacy is such a loaded term. To some people it means that your data is.not being actively sold to advertisers. To others it means everything is e2e encrypted.
Removed by mod
No way, reddit mods are insane.
I wouldn’t say that. It varies from subreddit to subreddit, community to community, instance to instance. And sometimes they are just staying within goals for the given space, regardless of whether it is Reddit or Lemmy. Your personal experience will often vary with how aligned you are with the viewpoints of mods, if they engage in heavy viewpoint discrimination.

Like this one.
And world
Why are you still on .world?
I’ll probably migrate eventually. I’ve already changed a few times and it used to be a hassle but apparently it’s not now? But I just haven’t gotten around to it yet lol
People on reddit understand that memes are supposed to be funny/clever, at least.
Uh, no. Better mods is bullshit.
The same powertripping happens here and the admins are just as dismissive.
Can confirm! You banned me from your little community because you were too fragile to hear that your religion is fictitious. On a post complaining that atheists won’t debate you.
It is so invigorating to see you remember me.
You were banned for deliberate intellectual dishonesty, which I had clearly predicted in the thread. Shame I forgot to block you as well. Let me take care of that.
Of course I remember one of the most fragile and hypocritical of all the several dozen regulars on Lemmy.
It’s a shame you want to block me. I like you aside from the massive projection issues. Oh well.
It’s shocking how often I think the assholes of Lemmy have hearts in the right place and thus I don’t block them but are otherwise overly committed to specific and weirdly hyper critical takes.
Like they want the discussion/fight but only as long as they win every time even though no one is 100% right about anything. And not everyone needs to know or believe in the same hyper specific thought process they believe in.
It’s shocking how often I think the assholes of Lemmy have hearts in the right place
Zero tolerance policy here. If a person is being needlessly antagonistic or resorting to personal attacks, they get blocked. On reddit it was pointless because the assholes number in the millions, but Lemmy is small enough that it’s made the experience better over time.
Reddit’s blocking mechanism was also insane. Take this hypothetical thread,
- User A
- User B
- User C
If User B blocks User A, User A cannot reply to User C. Blocking on Reddit prevents people from replying to anything that is a reply to you instead of just your own comments.
Works the same here, from what I can tell. I would prefer a “this user has been blocked by you” message instead of just cutting off the whole thread.
Fight fight fight!
Well you got the no ads part right at least for now
Are you joking? Lemmy is basically unmoderated, and the little moderation we have is trash.
Thats the neat part about lemmy, every instance can do their own thing.
If you’re not happy with the moderation you currently have, you can always check out other instances
Several people have already raised concerns with the fact that they got banned from several unrelated .ml communities by the same mod for breaking the rules in one community. There are several topics with broad appeal that have their largest community on .ml. Switching instances is basically the same as making another account because you’re still subject to the .ml moderation.
Then the people should switch over the communities to another instance then
The people don’t really do that. A move needs to start from the mods, whether it’s because they want to move or because they did something to piss everybody off.
Moderation is community level though.
If you bubble everything up to instance admins they basically melt from the effort.
I can’t speak for other instances, but we don’t melt from the effort.
We don’t either
Yes and no
If one of our users report something on lemmy.world for example we can remove it for all our users.
So yes, the post still exists but from the perspective of our instance it’s removed.
You’re on one of the best-moderated instances unless you hate trans people.
I’m aware. That’s why I chose this instance. And yet.
I’m guessing the issue is that instance mods only see reports. What we’re missing is moderators that care about a community and curate it.
