Yeah, but with RedReader. There’s a few niche subs I like that aren’t well-established here yet.

Event_Horizon, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I drop by Reddit 1-2 times per day but only at home on my PC and using old.reddt. There are still a couple of communities on there that haven’t moved to lemme yet.

And my porn account.

Zippy, in Downvotes = “I disagree” or “this is bad and you should feel bad”?

I like it to gauge what the general consensus is. Agree or not.

burningquestion, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I mean, yeah. I want the communities here to hit a certain level of engagement before I drop reddit entirely. I’m trying to participate more here and simply read over there.

giant_smeeg, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

Tarkov. They shit sucked me dry. 1500

StinkyRedMan,

I got 1600, and it’s my first wipe… Got kappa and lightkeeper unlocked

Michal, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

No. Once my app stopped working, I quit cold turkey. I deleted all content from my reddit account and switched to Lemmy.

freamon, in I feel like /c/memes has taught us a valuable lesson today: Would it make sense to develop a feature to block a comm from our feed for a selectable unit of time (1 hour, 1 day, etc.)?

There was a point (only a few days ago really) when browsing All was a way of discovering new communities, but now, if it’s not memes it’s auto-generated bot content harvesting link from HN or wherever.

Use the block function liberally.

raubarno, in What's with the corporate obsession with customer feedback?

This practice comes from Japan. In 1980s, certain companies, like Toyota, understood the importance of product and process quality. And one of the practices to ensure that everyone is ‘on the same ground’, and that the product under development would surely satisfy the consumer’s needs, was close communication between the stakeholders and receiving the feedback.

Long story short, it was part of their broader ‘Quality first’ strategy. However, it is only viable if the organisation is properly managed, and all Quality management things are put into practice (the hardest part).

This is just my understanding from a book I read during my free time. My knowledge may be incorrect.

human_no_4815162342, in Can lemmy be used as a blog (with comment section)?

There was a guy on GitHub that added a Lemmy comment section to his blog hosted on his website. So it’s already an accepted although niche usecase.

I feel like a single user instance of Pleroma would be more appropriate (and easier to host) but even though the character limit can be increased the remote limit of other instances might reduce your visibility, I am not sure.

I used reddit until Sync stopped working, and I haven’t been on since, except to delete a bunch of old posts.

AllHailTheSheep,

yeah same

In the rare case I need a result that I can’t find anywhere else. Otherwise, nah. The way Spez treated the Apollo dev disgusted me enough that I want nothing to do with that site anymore.

Personally, I wouldn’t want them spending precious development time on this when you could just block the community and set a reminder on your phone for whenever you want to unblock it.

I think better algorithms wouldn't be a waste of developer resources. At the end of the day, the post feed algorithm is the core product, IMO.

Figuring out how to lower the weights on highly active subs is a good idea. As is ranking smaller subs' content appropriately.

For all it's faults, Reddit's algorithm was pretty good. There was always a decent mix of small and large subs on my feed.

Kbin's post ranking overall seems better than Lemmy's and that was a major factor in me choosing it as my home base.

dingus,

I don’t want them blocked outright, though. I just want better feed algorithms. It shouldn’t just be whoever spams the most takes over my entire feed. The number of posts from any given community that show up in subscribed, local, all, etc. should be limited so that smaller communities aren’t pushed out of existence.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

I just prefer sorting options that don’t weigh posts. Like New or New Comments. I don’t have nearly as many similar posts appearing on the front page sorting by New Comments, and only posts with high levels of discussion stay on the FP.

If you’re going to sort by things that count all metrics to determine what’s “popular,” it’s always going to be memes and low effort bullshit.

Wiggles, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

Occasionally. From my desktop. Not really from my phone anymore. I like lemmy well enough but there still isn’t as much content especially for niche subjects.

Hi,

I’m feeling the same and wondering the same, did you ended up trying this, and if yes, do you have some advice on how to manage this particular use case ?

Thanks
