Forums are still around. People just got lazy and started using reddit instead. Search engines are also to blame since they don't bring up smaller forums in search results. People can go back to forums if they want.
The point is to search the whole fediverse, not just one instance.
Is there a specific problem with linkedin?
I'm not even subscribed to that, and even if I was, and it was a default subscription for every new lemmy.world user, I don't think it's a good replacement for a functional search or an all that includes all posts from federated instances. I see lots of posts on all-hot with 0-5 upvotes so it seems fine if it actually showed all communities on federated instances (which it doesn't).
As I said, I did actually see some weird pro-reddit stuff there. WatchRedditDie is also a subreddit with a long history. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/24701475.2021.1997179
Any suggestions for improvement? Or you think messaging mods is just completely useless?
why are you still here then
I ignore those, or just answer to encourage more people to move. It's important to still have people on reddit encouraging and helping people migrate.
I don’t want this place to be anything like what reddit became
Unfortunately, most of the migrating communities have been meme subs. So it may be inevitable as any site tries to appeal to the mainstream.
The sound is not the issue. I haven't smelled anyone farting.
But #3 would still smell bad and I haven't smelled anyone farting.
I think it's essential to have one or more communities like this. There were a few on reddit -- watchredditdie, declineintocensorship, and more. The admins shut them down. I was unsuccessful in getting them to move over to Lemmy.
Absolutely the same things happen on lemmy. It's to be expected from both mods and admins. We need to have a place we can go to find out "which are the bad communities & instances".
The main problem I foresee is that those "watchredditdie and declineintocensorship" subs seemed to be well modded and mostly populated with intelligent people. In contrast, lemmy seems to have quite a lot of trolls, unintelligent people, and likely astroturfing. That will make things more difficult.
