I agree, I only came here in July after they finally followed through with pulling the plug on 3rd party apps. This place has grown a lot in 1 year. Still needs more communities for the smaller hobbies, plus less memes and political content, and it would be perfect. 99% of everyone I talk with here is super nice and helpful as well.

Yeah, lemmy has become really good lately. It’s generally better than Reddit these days. I tried it a year ago and it was still quiet here, now I see posts with 2000+ upvotes

If we can’t meme, I don’t want to be part of the revolution.

I’m so glad to hear other people with the same opinion! Everywhere I go I see people complaining about the negativity and toxicity here and I’m like… Where? I’ve had nothing but positive interactions. I’m really happy reddit went through the API fiasco because I’m having a better time here than in late stage reddit.

It’s not any more toxic than Reddit honestly.

It’s very easy to filter by blocking out certain instances

The only thing Reddit still has is certain very active niche communities, but we do great on the more general stuff.

As someone who used reddit for 14+ years, this place feels exactly like early Reddit, a place where you actually can converse with anyone and contribute instead of yelling into the void. Realistically we will always have both, but many more will join the verse everytime Reddit has an oopsie.

Narwhal, bacon, midnight, dick butt, le, doggo.
The real question, when we enter ^ this era of Lemmy, how many years of prison is appropriate for the above genre of jokes?
kernelle@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Lmao beans fit that list, we can cringe about it all we want now but at the time we’re building community.

We even have our own annoying group of brigade-ers.
I’ll see myself out.

The sheer coverage of every subject on Reddit is crazy. Yesterday I was getting infuriated at a stupid plot in the 3 Body Problem, so I ddged it, and of course I found 3 Reddit threads sharing my frustrations. What a shame it has to get enshitified.
WildPalmTree@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Upvoted because “ddged”. Wonderful. 😊

It helps that Reddit along with other big platforms like FB absorbed all the traffic that in the old days would have been distributed into small separate forums. Not good for the ecosystem.

Internet ecosystem is a great term, it was put well in an article someone shared on slrpnk: slrpnk.net/post/8711732

We’re doing our best!
If you’re in a niche community, don’t be afraid to put some content out there. Niche communities are generally so happy to see any conversation. The amount of criticism/downvoting I’ve seen on topics in slow communities has been very low.
