Hmm, thanks anyway but tbh I was thinking more of cars as-a-hobby than car-related news. I love looking at people’s projects, hearing wrenching and and driving stories, etc.
Funny enough, vinyldeals was one of the biggest pushes for me leaving reddit. Way too much anxiety checking and the exclusive releases just killed my wallet lol
Got any recommendations on a decently price-sensitive record player? We were gifted a cheap Crosby but I don’t really want to risk our nicer records on it.
Its a super unpopular pitch but the communities on Reddit for steroids and PEDs were some of the absolute best sources of information on them.
I dont do steroids, but I do use a few compounds that arent illegal but are considered performance enhancing drugs by world sporting bodies and trying to find anyone with practical experience with them outside of Reddit is like pulling teeth.
I think a lot of people thought there was some sort of money to be made by staking a claim on community names and then having bots fill them with Reddit reposts.
Also the search functions Ive found to be pretty terrible.
As a moderator who did that and stopped, that’s not the case. What it actually was: we didn’t want to go back to Reddit ever again. So, we desperately tried to lift the quality posts and communities from stubborn holdouts to have that quality come with us.
IMO, it was a failure because people were so anti-bot. But that’s why I was taking part in moving everything over from there. I had no financial motives. I was just hoping to 100% boycott Reddit and was looking to draw their communities away from that utterly enshittified platform.
I think it was an overall failure (not blaming you specifically or anything) because it feels forced. The majority of “content” is just reposted memes, there’s no real people to go along with it.
Most Lemmy communities don’t feel like communities. They’re just meme repositories - as if we needed 10 places all hosting the same pictures in a different order
