I think I could count the number of porn posts I've seen in the last month on one hand. Where do they claim all of it is coming from? I wouldn't mind more porn tbh.
New Reddit isn't gonna tolerate a sub dedicated to content piracy with an IPO in mind. That ship is sinking if not sunk already. If you don't like it here, I'm sure there are other places on the internet for discussion.
Yeah I'm starting to realize some things after really exploring Lemmy after a few days. My biggest concern is that the whole federated thing isn't gonna work for me. I don't want to hunt for small communities and then risk losing them in petty squabbles by those who control them. It's like a whole bunch of little villages who claim to be united and connected, but in reality any village can cut off contact with any other for whatever reason their village leader(s) decide. You can leave the village if you don't like it, sure, but do you really want to end up as an internet nomad? I sure don't. Federation clearly does not inherently mean everyone is connected, despite what some proponents of the fediverse might say.
"Okay, so it's the 41st millenium and there's this guy called The Emperor. He doesn't have a name, he's just The Emperor and he's the most powerful psychic in the galaxy. He's also a skeleton that's barely even alive sitting on a giant physic-amplifying throne. You see, what happened is that around the 30th millenium..."
As a Reddit refugee, and thus part of the problem, this kind of thing is what makes me unsure if I want to use Lemmy. I don't want to suddenly lose access to communities I've become accustomed to for reasons beyond my control.
Also, is there a way to see all the instances that have specifically defederated or blocked this one?
I agree, this kind of thing is exactly what I think is going to stunt Lemmy growth. Federation is a double edged sword.
It seems like Lemmy is already experiencing further fragmentation and authority struggles. It doesn't bode well for growing Lemmy as a whole. Federation seems to be a double edged sword.
Wanted this to be here even though everyone has already seen it because I love it so much.
I like lemmings. It's hilariously ironic considering we want to try and get away from hiveminds (at least as much as is possible on any social platform).
Reddit has answered almost every question I've ever had for years. The potential loss of all the knowledge is my greatest concern.
I think I'm getting the hang of it, I'm just concerned it won't ever get to the point of having as many in depth communities as Reddit, because that's what I like most about Reddit
Yeah. Reddit has been my internet home since 2012. It's surreal and depressing to see it so far gone. Still unsure where I will go next, but lemmy feels familiar at least.
I did. I'm disappointed, but not surprised that it worked. I have no problems dropping Disney, too. The open sea is vast.
