Hear me out, a good portion of Reddit posts are reposts anyways so what if we did a one time import of Reddit community top posts of all time to seed communities so there's a place people feel more encouraged to post to? I don't like bot posts generally, but if it's a one time thing I think I'd like it if the communities here had some extra seed content to browse so you wouldn't reach the end so quickly like you do now.
There is at least one bot that does this, there are comments on the posts explaining how to request more subreddits to be added to the seed list
Nah. Once Apollo got the cold shoulder I nuked my account and have not returned. I occasionally read stories about it here out of morbid curiosity and hope I’ll get to watch the Hindenburg going down, but otherwise that’s an ex and I’m not inclined to go back and chat.
Lemmy just about keeps me here. It's a little anemic, but not due to lack of niche, but lack of normies.
Plus Lemmy hasn't turned out to be full Nazis like voat did. I find more on Lemmy than Mastodon.
Edit: Fix! I clearly meant Lemmy not Lenny.
I haven't seen anyone really saying that. Reddits a cesspool of hyper moderation. They'll ban their own users and Lemmy will literally be default
I'm not leaving lol
The only subs i go back to in reddit are the giveaway subs i joined, and i use my pc browser when visiting. Its all lemmy on my phone.
I find lemmy is more active in smaller communities compared to reddit, where any sub less than 500 subs feels dead. On Lemmy a similar sized community is bustling.
Reddit never removes people from the subscriber list AFAIK. So over time, the subscriber count becomes extremely unrealistic. It might claim there's 500 people, but if the sub was created years ago, many of those 500 people probably are inactive. And god knows how many bots might subscribe to a sub for some reason or another (bots obviously don't need to subscribe, but I'm sure many do, since otherwise anti bot measures could notice that they never subscribe to anything). Reddit really should show active subscribers in the past month only.
Lemmy is just so new that if a community has 500 subscribers, that's probably pretty close to the monthly active figure (though with the exception that quite a lot of people have multiple Lemmy accounts because there's been constant reasons to switch instances).
Though also, if you see a Reddit sub with only 500 people, you know it's dead and you should look for a different sub to post in. On Lemmy, 500 isn't utterly awful and also many front-ends only show numbers for your instance, so a community with 500 subs might be a decently sized community (though who can tell?).
There is a singular community I've been returning to Reddit for. Thankfully a (very) small subset has mograted here, but the day to day conversation just isn't there. I definitely need to interact, comment, and post more on the community here though. Gotta help it grow and all that.
Staying on topic and not commenting about James Franco. Yeah, this isn't reddit.
