Reddit has been banning users and/or communities that redirect others to Lemmy.

Regardless of the outcome, I hope Reddit's recent decisions turn in /r/leopardsatemyface.

[-] Alkalyon@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Yes.

I managed to get in because apparently now it's invitation only but I still MUCH prefer lemmy.

Mostly because everyone is moving towards ActivityPub and Tildes isn't.

Shreddit

My account has nothing. Every month or so I purge my account anyway. It has no actual value for anyone.

I am also one of the jump-shippers from Reddit.

Is there a better action for the 12th of June for individual users that want to protest, apart from just not using Reddit?

I mean, is there a suggestion as to if we are better to:

  • Not use reddit during the blackout
  • Log out of Reddit during the blackout
  • Delete our accounts

I lost faith in Reddit so I don't even mind deleting my account but I want my actions to have the most effect regarding the blackout.

Hey neighbour(Greek here)!

The way federation works, is that although federation is enabled the actual communities are not automatically broadcasted to other instances. If you want your newly created community to be visible to other instances you have to manually add it there by following these steps:

  1. Copy the link of you own community. (i.e. https://lemmy.ml/c/greece for mine)
  2. Find the instance you it to be visible in (i.e. beehaw.org for you)
  3. Go to /communities in that instance
  4. Paste your link in the search bar and press Enter. There will be no results but don't worry, it worked.
  5. Delete the link from search bar and now type the name of the community (i.e. Turkey for you) and press enter.

You should now be able to see the community there.

Unfortunately each community has to be manually indexes in every instance but I think lemmy.directory is trying to index everything so people can find stuff easier, in there.

As I've been using mods for Tears of the Kingdom game there were 2 versions of the DS4 UI prompts mod.

The first one almost never worked and was slowly getting updated so another dude just remade a new one and made it better and for all layouts.

The dude that created the first mod then started sending cringe messages to the new modder about how they look awfully similar and why did he choose to do that.

Dude, you made a mod that changes the letter A icon to the letter O icon. What creative freedom do you think there is to make a unique mod?

[-] Alkalyon@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Yes they do.

I have already contributed to the documentation of backend and it has been approved and merged.

Here are all the repos connected to Lemmy.

#Reddit was already toxic

I got banned for replying to a racist comment in sarcasm, to make them see how racist the comment is.

I got banned for racism...

Fuck reddit really.

I had this discussion in here before and I think it's for the better that the majority doesn't leave reddit, for both sides.

The vast majority of redditors are lurkers. It's a small minority that actually care enough to post the content and engange in conversations. Coincidentally, this same minority is the only one that cares enough to leave so I am expecting the most engaging people to migrate to other platforms like this one right here and I expect that Reddit is going to be left with lurkers and no one to drive the communities forward.

Granted, they will still be able to sell ads to lurkers but who cares? That's not why most of us were in Reddit.

I was there to get more news and educate myself. If that's gone, I'm gone. I'm happy to do this here, as well.

[-] Alkalyon@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'm out for good.

I have requested the moderation of one familiar community of mine here and intent on putting in the effort here.

I have also contributed to the lemmy github in the form of pull requests.

If reddit doesn't care about the users I won't. I will care for something that offers something back to me and the community.

Reddit is going to get so much money when it goes IPO that it couldn't care less about its users and/or 3rd party devs.
