The /r/piracy link to lemmy /c/piracy hit the reddit frontpage with 7K+ updoots!
-
Yeah I got reddit flashbacks when I joined and instantly made an account at 3 other instances lol, that post in particular with the downvotes they ignored was the main influence
-
not a big deal if you're a week or even a month in
-
Fwiw, I prefer Fedizen, bc it works for other things too like Mastodon, Mbin, PieFed (where I'm typing this from btw), Friendica, etc.
But yeah, where you are, Lemming works too I suppose.
I like fedizen too, and threadiverse for lemmy,mbin,piefed, etc. (or when accessing the threadiverse through friendica, hubzilla, etc.)

no only those communities, you can still interact with dbzer0 users, just not the piracy communities
-
thats how normal social media already is, the algorithim keeps you in a bubble at least here we decide the bubble conciously, algorithims favor controversy and rollercoasters of emotion too

Your homepage shows [email protected] and [email protected] as the most active communities, is it on purpose?

its a solid size, on reddit there are so many rules and it feels like screaming into a void when no one comments or views your post lol, it was only good for niche stuff, but lemmys cool because niche stuff hits the front page and everyone commenting tends to be helpful or at least they are not actively trying to be negative/unhelpful.
What also bugged me was some subs would delete your post if it was about like a new game so their mods could post it, everyone was so extra about karma that theyd delete ppls posts to post them themselves lol.

- https://sopuli.xyz/ for an EU instance that blocks hexbear and lemmygrad, like LW does
- https://discuss.online/ for an USA instance that does the same
- https://lemm.ee/ for an EU instance that doesn't block them
- https://lemmy.tody/ for a USA instance that doesn't block them either

leaving reddit led me to some forums that are still active for niche stuff like steakunderwater, lowendtalk, etc. I kind of got used to never leaving that app for anything, didn't realise how bad the shills were and I just assumed the advice was good like it was a decade ago.
The advice these days is not great, I don't think most people active there know what they're talking about and just answer to answer.

The typical ratio is 1:9:90, meaning only 10% are actively posting or commenting. The Lemmy numbers fit to that surprisingly well, although you would think a few more lurkers would at least vote sometimes (which Lemmy reports as active in the monthly stats).
First time I made an account I fd up the verification question (didnt even look), took me months to make an account again because I was annoyed I couldnt have that username on that instance because I did It wrong.

some sort of retry option for the verifcation question might be helpful

Voyager defaults to lemm.ee now

My instance is small potatoes, so no new applications for me (so far). =(
Lol I added an is. prefix

Posted on the wrong account here, mlem letting you swap during comment is clutch if anyone is looking for an ios app

I picked sparrow from vfxmed I think, goat

Every reddit shock, more people register on lemmy, as it's the only valid alternative, then around 10-30% of those stick around. The more reddit enshittifies, the more shocks it will experience until a tipping point is reached.
The latest one only got weakened by reddit panicking and rolling back their "bug". My suspicion is the next time they will try to enforce it, they will first make sure all lemmy links are banned.
They cant ban them all more will always pop up, fediverse Is like hydra
-
If they have extra money spend some on ads? Prob better to improve seo somehow
-
For a while I was reading and posting on Lemmy, but still going over to check things out on Reddit (without an account) because Lemmy just wasn't getting enough traffic to keep interesting posts popping up. I'm having to do that less and less these days.
I was doing that for the first two weeks here and now I dont open it most days
-
beauty of lemmy is they only banned the community so at least ppl can tell you where to go and how to access it
