The larger engagement is a potential reason…I just lurk there with an API modded sync client. If they ban my throw away or block the API I’m done
Comment on Reddit embracing all out enshittification

I’ve been on Lemmy ever since the reddit API fracas. To date, I have not seen a reason to return. I have, however, seen many reasons to stay away.

Reddit wasn’t built in a day either

Larger engagement requires people to make and join communities/subs and we all need to help that happen. It took years for reddit to have what you’re talking about and it’ll take time here too. Sadly we’re at a point in internet history now where many people have tried their hand at being mods and admits and most of those discovered how much it can suck. We’re past the point of it being some exciting new thing so I think a push for better tools and options for those that might consider it is needed. People also have less time and mental energy to take on such roles now than 10-15 years ago.

The day my modded Relay client dies will be a sad day. Lemmy is great but sadly a bunch of communities didn’t make the leap here.

Same same. I feel like I got out of an abusive relationship.

I wouldn’t go back anyway because I don’t want Spez to profit from my data
shimdidly@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Amen. I should have seen it earlier, but the API debacle told me that Reddit is run by “my way or the highway” management. And they showed they didn’t care at all about their users. I used to post spicy OC memes. Realized there’s no point in adding value to a platform that does not value it’s own people one iota.

There is only one thing Reddit has (or had anyway) that I regret not having on Lemmy, which is a robust community for my U.S. state and a small one for my specific town. There’s really no good place for discussions of that nature that approach anywhere near anything beyond flame wars anywhere else on the internet that I can find.
But I’m still not going back.

There are just certain communities that haven’t picked up over on Lemmy. D&D, Pathfinder, LFG, and I’m sure many others. I hate reddit with a passion but there is still stuff there.

Not for long. It’s about to be non-stop Bots and models just talking back and forth to each other.

I can’t wait for it. Couldn’t happen to a better corporation.
Something new will rise from the ashes.

Yeah of course you can find everything on Reddit and clearly not that much on Lemmy.
But Lemmy is the perfect alternative for me. I only go on Reddit through web search results on Ecosia. It’s really only useful for when I’m looking for a specific answer to a specific subject.

About that, how do we get good search results from Lemmy? I feel like the most important thing to me is finding info through google searches
Dariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Lemmy topics are now found in search engines but I’m almost never specifically looking for something in Lemmy as I’m just browsing through my feed.

Time to open a D&D instance!!
db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
running your own instance is not a trivial matter. There’s plenty of well run and underutilized instances that could be used instead.

Fuck id kill for Grimdank on here.
db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
There’s already one. Just be active in it and cross posted some stuff from reddit if needed
vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Whats it called cause I cant find it when I search grimdank or even something as simple as 40k?
EngineerGaming@feddit.nl 2 months ago
Yea, I pray this gets better. The only really active non-tehnical communities I have seen here are political and… woke ones. I really hope at least some gaming ones would switch.
DAMunzy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
As a woke person I just wanted to let you know I upvoted you. I too wish there were more communities than just woke ones, Star Trek, and Linux. 🤣 I enjoy those but we need more.

I’m kind of surprised that factorio community here is so inactive. I thought there would be significant overlap between lemmy’s technical audience and factorio players.
