Shit Facebook uncle take.
Oh yes we do, we want the community here to be like it was in Reddit before the meddling of that greedy, right-wing asshole-in-charge allowed maga to flourish there, and before he fully and officially enshittified the interface.
It was always naive to think Lemmy was somehow immune from the bullshit of Reddit culture. It may be immune from a centralized authority that can ruin all instances, but in terms of the culture, it is the same. Whoever thinks differently is just drinking massive amounts of copium solution.
This exactly. The reason people left reddit is because of the actions of the people running the site, not the user base or culture.
I guess the difference here is that there isn’t a defined group of people running the side
- admins have some power, but users can switch instances in 2 clicks
- devs have some power, but other compatible platforms exist (https://joinmbin.org/ and https://piefed.social/ for people reading this)
- mods have some power, but modlogs are public, and people will create other communities after powertrips
Is there a new reddit influx for some reason? Or is this just in general?
maybe from bing users but haven’t heard anything.
I don’t think there is any influx, numbers seems very stable: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
2024-07-29 seems to have a increase in some stats, also there is a server running on oracle
I always look at monthly active users rather than active users monthly, I guess the 29-07 anomaly is probably someone starting a botfarm
in servers online too
The flaw in this logic: We had memes over on reddit. Why are you posting memes here? If you want to post memes, you should go back to reddit.
We had comments there too, maybe try an interpretive dance to spice things up?
Yeah, also Reddit used to be good. So why not make it “like there”, but just 7-10 years ago
I thought this one was about immigrants. In Europe specifically. I’m spending too much time on politics lemmy
same, I thought this was about the riots at first.
So you don’t like immigration?
You’re either a troll, or one of your two neurons just got hit by the glue you’re sniffing
Good luck convincing them when there’s already upvotes, downvotes, posts, and sub-communities!
Maybe educate them on instances and how they affect what you see and post.
Yes! Please explain how instances affect the scroll!
Seriously? The communities here mirror the subreddits back there.
Too late… People are reporting posts for literally using the “wrong” words or for someone expressing anger over something. It’s like their wet dream is that people act like machines.

Ok, but there like it used to be was better than there is now, and if here could be like there used to be now it would be better than there is now and its my opinion that if here now was like there then it would be slightly better than here is now and I don’t think thats too much to wish for.
Ok, but “there, like it used to be” was better than “there” is now, and if “here” could be like “there” used to be, now, it would be better than “there” is now, and its my opinion that if “here, now” was like “there, then” it would be slightly better than “here” is now, and I don’t think thats too much to wish for.
FTFY. Devoid of punctuation, this reads like !ihadastroke@lemm.ee
Thank you for your service.

Welcome home! Digg and Reddit had their times.
I wish I was
Where I was
When I was wishing
I was here
Most people who do this are looking for a middle ground, somewhere between here and there. Sadly, going somewhere new and tearing it down is easier than staying somewhere and building it up.

I don’t see how this is sad. If you dislike an aspect of Lemmy, there are many options available: Change instances, host your own instance, contribute to the source code, try out Mbin, piefed, sublinks, etc. If you dislike an aspect of Reddit, tough luck.
