Yeah they are shit now. What can we do to move them over to Lemmy?
Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

Pornography was a very popular draw for Reddit, but posting in general helps too.

High resolution pictures on lemmy is a bit slow still. Worse for video. That’s the second most important issue left to fix on lemmy

Isn’t that just a bandwidth issue?

did you just seriously say posting is the cure to one of the world’s ills?
I’m not even sure you’re wrong. fuck. I may have to retire that bit.

Good content here will keep people off of Instagram, or shitter.
Honestly if reddit kills porn it’s over for them.

still is, since many accounts are there to just spam thier OF profile.

I see this sentiment a lot but I don’t see the spam on pretty much any NSFW subreddit.
Which subreddit and user?

I only heard about lemmy a few weeks ago I bet there’s more like me. I think it’s just a question of promoting it

Cool how was the switch for you? Do you like or miss something in particular?
CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 1 week ago
I love it! Reddit has slowly been going to shit for years, so many posters are nasty and there’s so much hysteria. There’s ads and political manipulation everywhere. I miss some of the subs, and would prefer a bit more activity but at the same time posts are far higher quality. Overall I’m really really happy and it’s been smooth and welcoming

Lemmy is just reddit under different management.

Lemmy is decentralized. So very different.

Ita lot of reddit under different management. It looks and feels like reddit not like a forum.
Buelldozer@lemmy.today 1 week ago
In some ways yes in other ways no. The urge to hivemind and purity test everything is definitely the same however the ability to move to another instance and get away from a group of power tripping mods is different.
Lemmy is essentially a collection of 2000s era forums that have agreed to share user accounts.

Lemmy is a lot of different Reddits under a lot of different managements.

Lemmy is not a forum.
Forums are structured around activity bumping, not recency and voting. A years old thread can end up back on the front page if someone posts in it. It’s just a different medium.
And it’s a medium that we need to preserve.

What’s a bad upvote?
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Anything anti billionaire, to sum it up.
PanArab@lemm.ee 1 week ago
Upvoting what they deem as bad or violent content.
atlasraven31@lemm.ee 1 week ago
I am one of those people and I wonder. Is it because I upvoted a news article about war or a nazi getting punched?
splendoruranium@infosec.pub 1 week ago
How do you find out about it? Try to view the threads while logged out and not seeing your comments, I suppose?

This is why I’m making more effort to move to Lemmy permanently. The thing is that they’re also refusing to say what exactly will get you banned, and that they can and probably will change the criteria pretty much when they feel like it. This is the kind of shit abusive partners do. They cannot expect anyone to be able to follow a rule that they refuse to define. Personally, I don’t think that’s an accident. It feels more like they’re laying the groundwork to be able to censor whoever they like, most likely at the behest of the current US administration.
