No way, are you the k_o_t?
5% of Reddit is colossal compared to Lemmy's current numbers. I think even 0.1% would be very noticeable.
Would it help to not log in tomorrow to decrease traffic?
I've been thinking of doing that, or to maybe switch to some small obscure instance
The UI of squabbles.io actually feels good for this. It's a shame it's closed-source and doesn't federate.
Imagine if you subscribed to a community on Lemmy and it only showed posts and comments AFTER you subscribed…
If you're on a small instance, that's actually the case with Lemmy, lol. You can only see a remote community if someone from your instance subscribed to it.
Yeah that, it's the one libertarian standpoint that I really disagree with so I was just curious
What's your opinion on regulations for companies?
Has r/all ever not been shit? Just shit with a different target audience, I guess
People are wary of alt-right folk taking over Lemmy like what has happened with most alternative social media. Maybe too concerned, who knows
I don't mind that they defederated a random Mastodon instance called "rapefeminists". Almost all of these are from some list of bad Mastodon servers. Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works are the only controversial ones (and temporary)
There's already a tool for moving over the subscriptions: https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate
