Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

  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?

      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

        Nice to hear! Yeah activity is still way lower than on Reddit but it’s slowly increasing. :)

  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.

  Lemmy is just reddit under different management.

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

    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 decentralized. So very different.

      Ita lot of reddit under different management. It looks and feels like reddit not like a forum.

      source

      • tfm@europe.pub ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        There is no central management on Lemmy. Every instance is managed by someone else. Nobody can decide something for all of Lemmy.

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

  source

  • Ledericas@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

    source

    • RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

      Which subreddit and user?

    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

    • lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Isn’t that just a bandwidth issue?

  • melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    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.

      • Ledericas@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        they already try to force porn users on mobile to use thier crappy app if you dont want to login, or use thier app. thier app makes it easier to mine your data and recognize your device for easier banning.

        like I said; I’m not even sure you’re wrong.

        and didn’t they kill all the queer porn? so don’t we just need to, like, do more queer porn on lemmy?
