Made the full switch a couple days ago and already don’t miss reddit at all. The community is smaller, yes, but that lends itself to better, more engaged discussion. People are here because they want to be not because its the only place offered.
There’s no engaged discussion on here. If you have any opinion about paying for services, using Windows, or driving a car, you’ll be downvoted and attacked lmao.
I can’t say I’ve experienced any of those things. Not saying they don’t happen though, just saying I’ve had some good interactions about a variety of topics.
The only reason I visit Reddit anymore is because it’s a vast sea of human experience and knowledge. Usually I just search Google with “[topic I’m interested in learning about] site:reddit.com”.
I’m honestly surprised someone at this point hasn’t just ported over all the comments from Reddit over to Lemmy, since they’re basically public domain comments from the human species that Reddit is just storing. IANAL.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen some huge, semi-complete datasets of the site somewhere. Maybe the-eye has something? That would ease the process, since the content has already been hoarded.
Also, the new posts of some subreddits are being copied live to the equivalent Lemmy communities by bots made for that purpose.
I assumed that the people over in the DataHoarder communities had archives running this whole time. There’s probably data out there somewhere, it’s a matter of getting it into a usable hosted state
These tech freaks have a mercantilist, zero-sum view of how the web works: any link elsewhere is bad and anyone else profiting is your loss. They didn’t use to think this way but have gradually built a bubble around themselves over time, losing all perspective of their own users in the process. This also explains the move of this tech cohort to the regressive right wing.
Please, for the love of the internet, never feel like you can’t contribute and keep things fun, interesting, and completely weird. That’s how we take back what we all love.
… and while there’s no reason to state the obvious I’ll say it anyway. Fuck spez
Man, i joined lemmy about 2 months ago and because there are no free apps for reddit i haven’t logged on there since then. Once people understand the instances they will feel at home.
the era of the big corpo monosite has made people forget what it's like to have more than one website, and even before that era websites didn't really talk to one another all that much. with time people will learn, and the ones who can't will drown in botspam on the decaying husks of corposites
Haven’t even bothered watching them. The original run is old af now and Futurama has become a meme to most people. Just let it die and make a new show.
My father brought some Ash he had cut down in the winter a few years back. The trees were growing in MI’s UP and sawed into lumber. An Emerald Ash Borer infestation killed them. After drying, my father inlaw made a table, chairs, and bench from it for his first grandson. Here they are.
Remember how you could jump around the roof of the bank of old Orgrimmar just so you would land on every part of the roof and never skip one of the struts? That's what "playing oW with the boys" is like. Talking about your day and jumping in a circle
