A Reddit post promoting the Fediverse that actually gained traction (and Reddit deleted the top comment for promoting Lemmy)

People are scared of new things and grow complacent once they find their place in a community or on an app, in this case. It's the same reason people will argue to death about needing Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, whatever, and not leave any of them

He was the inspiration for reddit's logo

Lemmy is mostly people who used to be Redditors. People are people.

[blaze@feddit.org]

That's the truth. For people reminding how large was Lemmy before the API fiasco, the vast majority of people here came from Reddit.

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Knowing reddit moderators, they probably just encountered someone from those instances that disagreed with them that one time.

Is 500 upvotes that much on reddit?

On lemmy its huge, but on reddit i have seen posts with twice that in niche subreddits

[randomvideos@programming.dev]

A word block-list isnt that rare

[die4ever@programming.dev]

For a comment it's a lot yea, especially since the thread was still pretty new. It was the top comment in that thread by a large margin.

[jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world]

I bet the fediverse wouldn't censor a post about reddit because the fediverse isn't a bitch.

[ai_toothbrush@lemmy.zip]

Im sorry to inform you that:

1. Lemmy is a reddit alternative

2. What you did right now was very redditor esque

[nima@leminal.space]

how did you find Lemmy? did you find out through reddit?

ive been here over a year now and I sure did. haven't used reddit since.

if you didn't come here from reddit, I'd be curious to hear where you did come from before making a Lemmy account.

[x0chi@lemmy.world]

No, the logo is cute

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

explaining the fediverse would be you join different servers but can still play together?

[captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works]

I still prefer the email analogy with explaining how it works. The WoW analogy is for the people who say "That's too complicated for the unwashed masses to understand." People have been signing up for World of Warcraft going on three decades now, I think they'll figure out lemmy.world vs sh.itjust.works.

[joyjoy@lemm.ee]

old.reddit.com always works for me, even for posts or communities which they force you to log in and/or use the app to view.

[enemyofsun@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I hope more people with niche interests will come to Lemmy - this is the only use case for this kind of social media for me, and Lemmy's a bit lacking in this regard.

But yeah, I'm not looking forward to those redditors who assume everyone's a cis man and stuff
