We left. Let’s move on.

Get your coat, you’ve pulled…
Really wish Lemmy had a filter.
I don’t mean to be rude OP, but your entire contribution to lemmy has been 5 comments and this single post about Reddit. In order to gain traction as a viable alternative to Reddit we need OC and active participation in the comment section. Be the change you want to see and lead by example - start posting interesting non-Reddit related stuff yourself. The more people that do, the better lemmy will be.
I think we need to start poaching video content from reddit and posting it here. Stuff like HoldMyBeer, StartledCats, etc. There’s so much content for the taking, I don’t think we should get stuck on OC. In this stage we just need content. I’m seriously considering starting a cat sub or holdmybeer sub, and stealing all the content from reddit until people starting posting their own contributions.
One should stress that it should be good content though. One of our strengths at this time is the reduced number of bots and more active contributors.
There is plenty of content out there however, and I started sharing some of my favorite links with the smaller communities. Doing my part.
Good and new, I’m tired of seeing all the top of r/all memes having so much traction here. That was my pet peeve on Reddit. The ENDLESS recycling of the same content.
Sort by Top on Reddit, and start whackin’ 'em 'ere.
I agree. I should have said “make new posts” rather than OC. When I first joined I used my last days of Apollo access to copy over a few of my favourite BORU posts as the community was otherwise empty. I also started c/dontyouknowwhoiam@lemmy.word and reposted some of the old classics to get the community started. I don’t think lemmy should just be Reddit on another site, but it’s a good place to start while we build the site up.
It’s becoming clear to me that getting a picture or video community off the ground that is not just memes might be difficult, and will take a pretty large userbase to sustain. But I think with something like Stealth app, as long as it continues to allow downloading from reddit, it should be easy for moderators to source video content themselves for the time being.
I’ve got a collection of porn from there if anyone needs it
Boost had a download function… before those bastards killed it I had a pretty decent catalog of titties.
I’m personally going to stay away from sharing porn. Feels iffy without explicit consent.
Strongly agree.
I’m with you, honestly how do you think that content got to reddit in the first place? Sure there’s some original content there but 99% of the site is just reposts people got from other sites - and porn. Bring some porn back with you if you have space
Let me know when you do so I can subscribe to your stream of silliness and entertainment :)
Yeah, the bitching about people bitching about Reddit is far more annoying than just the bitching about Reddit.
Agreed, it’s also just a very Reddit poster thing to do ironically.
Yeah, ironically this whole post reminds me of that place
Maybe they’re a plant sent from redshit to lower participation by reducing our current favorite topic which is: fuck redshit
Opening up a new subreddit in the past few years had like a 50% chance of having 4 out of the top 10 posts people obnoxiously whining about X: “Please can we stop posting about X”,“Will the mods please start removing X posts?”, “If something doesn’t change soon, I’m going to start a new subreddit and the first rule will be ‘No X’”.
Meanwhile there are zero posts about X in sight.
It reminds me of the occasional times where a corporate email would be sent out improperly to “all” in our company. A few people would reply all: “take me off this list”. Then someone would reply all to those guys: “don’t reply all”. Then other people would reply all:“you are spamming the whole company!”, etc.
It would take an hour or so to die off, but It was kind of amusing to see people react to the chaos. I assume the bitching about Reddit will die off naturally.
It will. It’s still very new, of course people will be talking about it for a while.
Yo dawg
I hear you don’t like bitching about bitching about Reddit
So here’s some bitching about bitching about bitching about Reddit
Likewise- this is literally another reddit post…
The OP is complaining about all the Reddit bitching on his front page. There is some control over the looks of one’s front page in profile settings. If set to “All”, then yeah there’s going to be a lot of stuff outside of interest on the front page. My front page is set to “Subscribed” so I have to intentionally look for that stuff if I want to see it.
The way to use Lemmy is to subscribe to communities with content of interest and use the the subscribed view. Maybe this is more a case of someone new to Lemmy not understanding the best way to use Lemmy.
Can I see most posts being from the communities I have subscribed at while still introducing stuff from communities I haven’t signed up for?
Seeing new stuff usually is good in life =)
Making a post that blows up like this one was a thing on reedit. You got a score and that encouraged gaming/trolling. It’ll take a bit to realize that karma isn’t a thing.
I tried to give OP the benefit of the doubt by providing practical ways he could make a positive impact if he was being genuine, but I think I was being naïve. He’d been on lemmy for the best part of a week before he posted this. No way in hell he hadn’t come across the many posts complaining about the same thing. Plus his reply to me was very Reddit-like. Passive aggressive at best, antagonistic at worst. I’d become used to people being a little nicer and more genuine in the few weeks I’ve been here!
There something I don’t really understand about karma vs plain upvotes on lemmy. I know you needed a certain amount of karma to post in some subs, but it was never very much from what I recall. After you’d reached 2k at most, it didn’t have any value beyond social validation. Karma farmers didn’t do it for any real benefit, it just made them feel good. Won’t lemmy upvotes just be the same? You still get an upvote tally on your profile, you still get the dopamine boost from a thousand of people agreeing with you. Why do we assume (and hope) that karma/point farming won’t continue on this platform?
The Karma was your reddit score a way to rank your seniority and value. It made it a bit easier to see where someone stood in a specific community.A post from a throwaway account was more suspect than one with lots of karma.
Point farming will be a thing, people crave attention and you can get that validation . Without that overall score I think it will be less pronounced on lemmy. I have been shocked with the reasonableness of posters here on lemmy.
I just went to check what my karma was. On my first main account I had 30k karma after 10 years. The account I was using when I left was 8 years old and only had 3k karma. I definitely didn’t have any seniority or value! 😂
You trying to guilt people into generating content? Lol.
This isn’t a job. This is for leisure. No one should force it.
I joined 4 days ago. I have contributed to HFY mostly, until this.
I haven’t done much, because I wanted to get a feel for the community.
Is it ok that I contribute now?
No need to get arsey, I wasn’t being rude to you. I simply pointed out, politely, that we can each make lemmy better by posting content we find interesting. Posting to complain about people posting to complain about Reddit, not only doesn’t help matters, it actively makes it worse. And clearly I’m not alone in this sentiment. I look forward to seeing your contributions now you have a feel for the place and have got your little rant off your chest 💚
Hard disagree. The Reddit situation is a huge news story even for people who aren’t on Reddit.
Also you wouldn’t bring up an ex on a first date because you’re trying to impress the new person. However you would definitely talk about her to friends and family if it was an upsetting situation for you. Reddit was a big part of my life and it fucking sucks what happened To it
I think there is a thin line there, which has been crossed.
Talking about Reddit drama is fine. But when 90% of the posts here are all about Reddit (or Meta/Twitter vs Mastodon) it seems to me that people are just salty.
I came here because I gave up on Reddit, and I am looking for a reddit substitute. What I wish is to find here the content I would normally find there, so that I am not forced to move back to that wonderful website, sadly managed by shitlords (as the other 100% of profit driven websites. A lesson hard learned).
But if my feed is spammed by 90% stuff about Reddit and nothing else, that is not the way to growth or make people stick around.
You’re right, anyone trying to get to first base with the Fediverse needs to have a serious word with themselves.
You’re right in that the analogy is way off. Here’s the only way it would make it right, is if your new date also wanted to vent about your ex. That’s probably not the case. But being a Reddit refugee is something in common for many people on Lemmy (especially right now) and so it makes perfect sense for people to talk about it.
Also, I don’t give much thought to the posts I scroll past…
Yeah, it’s so far from bringing up an ex on a new date. I assume most people here are ‘an ex’ of reddit. It’s more like a group of friends in a new bar talking shit about a bar they used to go to. Which is completely unproblematic and natural. The new bar doesn’t give a shit, and the friend group gets to vent.
Here is a hot take: think of it like leaving a house you have been renting for 10 years. Our relationship wasn’t with the landlord as much as it was the neighbors and community.
Now, our landlord turned to a money-grubbing asshat
spazspez. You better believe we are telling everyone in our community, old and new, not to rent from him. Additionally, we are going to be venting the hurt of being evicted. We have all been forced to find a new neighborhood and learn everything new that comes with it. Our habits have been reset and it sucks.It’s less obsessing over that site, but more:
I wanna see that bitch burn.
Agreed, it’s more like joining a club and finding that it’s full of your ex’s other exes than going on a date
Yeah, plus this club is ever growing with ex-redditors. It’ll be topical news for a while yet.
Same
Were you a mod by any chance?
Nope. Ain’t gonna deal with that shit.
It’s been like a week since the most recent migration happened, we can’t just expect this to blow over immediately when like 90% here came from reddit just 7 days ago
I do feel for those who were enjoying a peaceful place until us rabble turned up needing to go through the stages of grief.
I’m very grateful for it existing.
I mean kinda but realistically thats probably like 2% of people here and even most of those will be previous redditors.
You can’t make a reddit clone and then moan that reddit users move over here thats my take on it at least lol.
I am also interested in hearing about the fallout from the exodus.
If you aren’t interested, you can block the thread.
Hopefully it’s an ongoing process and a bunch of people have only been here for one day
Bad analogy, it would be like meeting up with all your ex-girlfriend’s other former partners and all bitching about that shared ex because you have that thing in common.
The fediverse has gradually shifted from being 75% posts complaining about reddit and 25% other to being 25% posts complaining about reddit, 25% posts complaining about how people come here to complain about reddit, and 50% other. We be makin progress!
ya ok but then again you did make this thread, currently #1 on my lemmy world feed, about bitching about reddit lol
Instead of reddit, why not talk about something more positive on your date, like how many tickets you are going to buy for my new movie, “Barbie”, only in theaters July 21st?
Wait, Barbie™ ? The upcoming fantasy comedy film directed by Greta Gerwig from a screenplay she wrote with Noah Baumbach? Based on the Barbie fashion dolls by Mattel? The first live-action Barbie film after many computer-animated direct-to-video and streaming television films? The film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken, respectively, alongside an ensemble supporting cast that includes America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell?
That’s “Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie” to you!
Now wait a minute I came to get away from advertising but with well written synopsis how can I say no to seeing this movie.
July 21st
sorry babe, Pikmin 4 comes out that day. I’m busy 😎
You should buy tickets for your 4 Pikmins too!
Hello Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie (sometimes I get mistaken for you). Is it true you were cast in Barbie because you have plastic feet?
Nice try Quentin, you already got me once with “Once upon a time in Hollywood”, you are not going to get me again.
C’mon it’ll be fine, just drive that pink car with your plastic feet on the dashboard
Doubt she can beat Esteemed Character Actress Margot Martindale.
- So I can see it 4 times by myself.
Why not buy an extra ticket for the seat next to yours every time, so you can have more seat room all to yourself?
Is this really Margot Robbie, Academy Award-nominated actress of upcoming blockbuster summer flick “Barbie”? If it is, wink twice.
Soon to be “Academy Award winning”, wink wink
Great to see such a talented star already participating on Lemmy! Even without seeing the movie, I know the Oscar’s as good as yours:) Good luck with the film, and I’ll definitely go see it in theaters with my SO (twice, even).
You should buy tickets for your 4 Pikmins too!
I got a wad of $100s that can sponsor this.
Are you ready to plow through your bucket of delicious popcorn and jumbo sodas?
You should see me feast… It’s like a mantis
I’m really curious what happens with this account once the movie has had its run.
Me too.
Seriously, what were you thinking? It had to be the money, right?
Hey, I’ve got bills too.
I get it, a gig’s a gig!
None. Not going to watch it because it shows a map with China’s nine dash line. China has been harassing our fishermen and coast guards here in the Philippines, in our own waters. The government is also planning to ban the movie.
CHIN-AH
I heard about this, but I really can’t find anything resembling that on the disputed frame. Like, it has to be there because a government probably checked it better than me, but where exactly?
But what if that crazy bitch stabbed you and it makes a pretty good story
Lets not pretend we werent completely hooked either
I agree to an extend. I could spend hours doom scrolling reddit but it was actually surprisingly easy to replace rif with wefwef.
It would be more like you both dated the same asshole and are bonding over your mutual hatred.
just let people vent, itll stop eventually once everything settled for good
Good, I hate that bitch
Except the person you are on the date with also broke up with Reddit, and that is why you are on a date in the first place.
