The cringe thing about most of these "protests" is that they don't realize that increased engagement on Reddit benefits... Reddit, I haven't seen a single major sub inviting its members to migrate to Lemmy or Kbin. The adrenaline shots that they get from posting on Reddit are just too good to even consider migrating, those spez slaves are addicted and a lost cause.

I've heard through the grapevine that references to Lemmy and KBin are being removed by Reddit like Twitter was doing to Mastodon.

I'd test it but that site has a special place in the Pi-Hole blacklist.

These protests continue because the people doing them want to stay on Reddit. They don't want to kill engagement. So, they're not actually going to do the things that have large scale impact on the business, like starting their own website and announcing tma move.

Mods from large subreddit could have spun up Lemmy instances, directed people to them, and had functioning and busy communities, possibly even pulling in enough community donations to pay themselves for moderating, at least a little bit. But they don't want that.

They want things to not change.

Moderators of large subs are some of the the most addicted people to Reddit.

But that said, I can understand it. We have to remember that where features are concerned, we're not even close to Reddit. The reason to migrate here is mostly an ideological one (from disagreement with the Reddit admins' actions) and perhaps some future potential.

Reddit still has far more functionality, including vastly better modding tools (which are extremely lacking here -- beehaw defederated from some of the biggest instances because they lacked any other tools for dealing with users), better uptime, vastly better UX (there's soooo many meta posts every day from people confused by the poor UX), support for videos, larger communities, more developed apps (we only have early stage alphas here), etc. All these things are barriers that will make some users write off Reddit alternatives as simply not good enough (yet).

Absolutely. The mod tools aren't ready for anything but friendly friend spaces for friends. I had someone join my small, single purpose Lemmy site that I didn't even think someone would find and join a bunch of subs I didn't want cluttering the feed, and I couldn't even remove them without going to the database they didn't post anything.

And this is fine if you're just making a wide open general purpose forum. If people aren't causing specific issues, you don't need to know they're there. But if you're doing something specific...

On the other hand, if 100 bots has signed up and just sat there quiet, I wouldn't have been able to do anything about them until they were flooding the forum, and that's really not great.

Feel free to repost it on reddit if you want to.

[–] vaseltarp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

did not work somehow, first i did not include medival in title but the second time i did and instandly a bot throwed it away. I hope on another try it works

here is the copy paste text that i would have included:
Original Post: https://lemmy.world/post/460846

Quick Quick start: open https://sh.itjust.works/ and consume the content. (could press on the all button next to the local button for more variety)

For a quicker start i suggest https://sub.rehab or https://browse.feddit.de/ to look out for communities that have your content.

If you wanna join lemmy please use a smaller instance or simply go with one like https://sh.itjust.works/ or look for one here: https://join-lemmy.org/instances. When you click on one you go directly to the content without the need for a log in.
Here you can roughly see how lemmy, Kbin, Beehaw and Mastodon are working: https://i.imgur.io/Hoc5dXU_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=high

I think you have a typo in the image link you posted on reddit explaining the fediverse. The one you posted in your comment above works, but not the reddit comment. I think you have an extra \ after the Hoc5dXU on the reddit link. Awesome explanation image, though. Did you make it?

It would be super nice if all Reddit posts stayed on Reddit.
