Watch Reddit die. Pray for Reddit to die. Help Reddit die.

Rules

  1. No Reddit shills or trolls. But if you have a good argument for why Reddit should live, we'll hear you out.
  2. Try to be civil and intelligent. Be angry at Reddit, not each other.
  3. Provide evidence as much as possible without doxxing or harassing people.
  4. Should probably avoid linking directly to Reddit. Use archive.today and archive.org links.

Will add more rules as needed.

If you don't like reddit, stop linking directly to it. Doing so makes them show up at the top of search results. (self.watchredditdie)

You should use archive.org or archive.today links.

The best way to influence the Domain Authority metric is to improve your site’s overall SEO health, with a particular focus on the quality and quantity of external links pointing to your site.

You can use the Wayback machine addon to easily get archived links https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wayback-machine_new/.

And a bookmarklet for archive.today:

javascript:void(open('https://archive.today/?run=1&url='+encodeURIComponent(document.location)))

FYI, if you’re worried about archive.today going down and references being lost, you can manually leave in the original URL by adding https://archive.ph/o/ in front of any URL, after you archive it. IE: https://archive.ph/o/https://sh.itjust.works/post/26060585 will redirect to the archived page, if it exists.

How about not spamming the same goddamn thing 3 times.

I thought crossposting is encouraged?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I had the same impression, but it also doesn't seem like apps group cross posts (at least sync doesn't) so if you don't wait between posts they end up next to each other in the all feed.

A way to merge crossposts visually would be nice. You could check on github if there's a suggestion for that already.

Lemmy is not so massively huge that everyone is branched off into their own silos. Post it once.

Well, various instances block each other, and mods and admins are not all on the same page. And just like it's important to have independent instances, it's important that single communities don't dominate either.

I think a better solution would be to make a github suggestion to visually merge crossposted threads.

Blocking is extremely rare, not the rule. It would have to be the norm for things to be necessary like you're suggesting. As it is right now for the vast, vast, vast majority of users you are spamming everyone and making Lemmy a worse place. I shouldn't have to block communities and entire instances to not be spammed.
