RedditMigration

Does federation have a bit of a learning curve? No doubt....

I realized I interacted / posted / commented less and less on reddit these last couple of years. Couldn't even tell you why exactly. Now I've been here for a week and, I don't know, I just like interacting again... Hope it stays like this for a while :)

When the whole Reddit fiasco started happening, I saw a lot of people wiping and deleting their Reddit accounts and moving elsewhere, like here on Lemmy....

Hey all, I recently left reddit like many of you. I have a question regarding lemmy and the fediverse on the history of banning and defederation. I have noticed several posts calling for varying communities to be disconnected. were these removal requests as prevalent before the mass migration? Usually I am all for communities...

Honestly, nobody even looks at other people's Karma. I didn't care much about it. Did people really care so much baout Karma that they mourn about it here, or miss it, or used to farm it?...

It’s almost as if reddit’s first party app couldn’t even compete with third party apps. I used Boost for Reddit and now I’m waiting for Boost for Lemmy...

Given how Reddit has responded to the whole API, community-mods, etc. fiasco, I felt like they're doing some of the more effective things in not only destroying their communities but also their IPO valuation....

someone on reddit made some secret subreddits for certain acievements:...

Narwhal developer believes they can keep the third party iOS Reddit app running with a subscription....

Hello

This is honestly probably for the best. It’s a really bad idea that we’ve let reddit monopolize niche knowledge

And make sure not to click on any links. If enough people use chatgpt or other LLM's to generate comments that are wordy but clearly just filler, it'll give advertisers pause and tank the value of the site as training data. Reddit's response will probably be to start banning users it thinks are doing this but normal users will...

It was and still is hard - or at least tedious - for me as a software developer to find out how to use the fediverse and lemmy. I can’t imagine how annoying it must be for a normal user. The one thing I really liked about reddit, is that you can find a well written guide for everything, often pinned at the top of a specific...

One of the hurdles to change for users switching from reddit to a federated platform is less content. The logic goes: “smaller community, less content, I can see i’m missing out on stuff over there so I’m not going to switch away”....

Something that I really appreciate after moving here from Reddit: I can finally edit titles!...

For the first time ever, I’m getting Reddit notifications, outside of when I get a dm or a comment/post reply from someone. 🧐 Hmm, I wonder if that’s just coincidence…...

There’s still some subreddits I’d like to view as their communities haven’t swapped over yet. Like you guys, I obviously don’t want to support Reddit in any way shape or form. Surprisingly, they have not gutted RSS feeds yet. Simply add .rss at the end of the domain. Example...

Title is pretty much it. Woke up this morning to an email in the inbox with a reddit message notification from u/reddit...

Note that this is not a request for review bombing, but rather a request for your opinion....

I don’t know if Reddit is just trying to be a dick or what, but as I started to delete some comments, I’m not able to see any comments in my profile “hasn’t commented on anything”, but if I visit actual posts where I’ve commented, I can clearly see my comments there....

I would love to find someplace to talk about roadtripping, comparing routes and whatnot.

I recently opened the app to ensure that it infact does not work anymore, but it just showed me the newest feed, like it did before. What is going on here? Are people funding this? Or have they switched to a third party API for read only?

I've just joined Lemmy and I need something to fill that RIF shaped hole.

Is there some script, addon or something that will take data from GDPR request and delete content, especially comments, one by one? redact had this capability, but it’s not working now

This question may be moot but it’s something I’ve been thinking about. I’ve only recently jumped into this brave new world so you’ll have to forgive my ignorance....
