Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows.

• pleasegoaway@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  Reddit refuge here.

  I do miss all the niche subreddits. As the saying goes, “there’s a subreddit for everything.”

  But I think with time, Lemmy can grow to fill that gap.

    You gotta Field of Dreams it. I’m doing it for LV426/the Aliens universe. Just treat it like you’re starting a forum or a newsletter and, hopefully in time, others will contribute and it’ll grow organically.

      I’m trying to figure that out but I I have to make my own server? Or is it a sub on lemmy.world? There definitely a learning curve

        You don’t have to make your own server (unless you really want to!). Just start a community on a server you like.

        The one catch is that others can start a community of the same name and/or interest on another server and that gets a little confusing because then there are two, of course.

        I wish that communities could “federate” with each other from different instances but then that raises a bunch of logistics issues about how this is moderated, how is this presented to the users, etc.

        In my case I’m just posting a lot to already-created communities found in the Lemmy directory that’ve got a chunk of subscribers.

        If you’re going to start your own community for your own interest, I’d advise at least setting up on an already-populated Lemmy server (which you would have to be registered on) so it gets listed in the local directory.

        If you’re going to host the Lemmy server and your community, I have no experience on that front/I would imagine there’s a lot of SEO and self-promotion you’d have to do to get it off the ground.

    Yeah I’ve been on Lemmy maybe 2 years or so now? I find myself going back for the subreddits of my interest. But I will try to start posting here more.

    Ultimately I believe in the fediverse despite all of its growing pains.

    It’ll take awhile to grow those niche communities.

    I have no doubt we will!

    While we still doesn't have all kinds of active niche communities over here, it is incredible how much the community has grown since I first came here. And that's not really all that long ago.

    Thanks for joining us! :)

    These days I go 50/50 on Reddit and Lemmy. I know it’s a chicken and egg problem for content, but hopefully 50% usage is enough to change things over time.

    • morrowind@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Same. Is your name related to the youtube channel?

      source

      • JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        Nope

  • jackalope@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I mod lemmy.ml/c/anti-trust and we need more people contributing!

  • MisterFrog@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I ported !engineeringmemes@lemmy.world. Because of its limited volume, it’s barely an effort to moderate.

    Just start the communities you want to see :)

  • ArachnidMania@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Be the change you want to see! Start up your own niche community!

  There is also a PWA version for those looking to try it out, and I believe it’s on F-Droid as well.

  There are a few minor cultural differences to be aware of. But as long as you avoid saying anything negative about Star Trek or Linux, you should be just fine.

    Yea, and can’t be criticizing Nutrek

      Shame, I have strong opinions around Discovery. Mostly because every episode is “fate of the universe” and character development arcs usually fizzle our with little actual change in the characters

  Same for me using Boost on Android. It looks like Reddit only without the bots and AI slop.

  source

  • iridebikes@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Same! I’m still a little confused about the way the federation works but I love the decentralization and democratization of the platform. And Boost makes it feel very familiar.

    I just got Boost the other day! I’m still getting used and tinkering with the layouts to make it like Relay still, but this community is very welcoming.
