A Request to the Fediverse Community

[email protected]

I think reddit has a huge advantage due to search engine indexing, and the wide berth of communities which provide support for technical issues or nicher interests. It kind of brought all these into one place, which im sure is excellent in regards to SEO

It's hard to avoid the comparison when Lemmy is basically a clone

sign up is confusing.

"Lemmy has 42k monthly active users

https://discuss.online/ if you want a server located in the USA (content is still accessible from any server, the most difference latency)
https://sopuli.xyz/ if you want a server located in the EU
https://vger.app/ if you want an app

Feel free if you have any questions"

Yeah, I'm trying to change Reddit by Lemmy, and I'm moving out of Instagram, since I made it just to connect with friends (so I still have to ask some friends for contact info outside Reddit and Instagram so I can quit for good)

The thing with Odysee is that I see A LOT of right-wing and religious nuts in my feed, even before login in, and in comment sections , and that alone basically drived me out

No worries, MedicPigBabySaver.

If we can ensure that all bots are always identifiable as such, i.e. that none of them are successfully passing themselves off as people, then this problem is mitigated quite a lot. In theory that's feasible. We're hardly even trying right now.

Just joined and the community already seems pretty vibrant. It honestly doesn't feel that different from Reddit in that regard which is perfect. Reddit and the rest of them can fuck off

Everytime i go back on reddit the qualitt of that content keeps going down, just like my battery.

Would love a meetup replacement. It’s been hot garbage for a while. Not to mention a good portion of meetups in my city have died off since the pandemic

Welcome! A few pointers for you

#JoinMobilizon - Let’s take back control of our events

A user-friendly, emancipatory and ethical tool for gathering, organising, and mobilizing.

Of course needs a local instance, with people adding events there...

We need to get more people to adopt the Fediverse. The issue is lack of engagement.

[email protected]

Not really. They're both link aggregators but to say it's simply a clone is reductive.

[email protected]

But that's what I'm saying. I don't want us to be reddit. I want us to be better.

[email protected]

How'd you tell if you're chatting to a bot?

Ai a pretty convincing now

[email protected]

It will get better with the massive bans

I jumped on board with the reddit API fiasco. I use Sync primarily since I'm familiar with the format and I browse and post often.

I think one problem is that it's confusing to your average Joe. I honestly still don't quite understand how it works. I see posts like .ml and .world and I have no idea what they are even though I've been here a while.

[email protected]

Exactly. That's the main barrier I think
