What did you do to that poor lemming, you creepy bastard!

I’ve switched to using this as well but it has very little user interaction. I hope it grows and is able to compete with Reddit one day. It would be nice to be able to go to a basketball or political subreddit (what do we call them here?) and actually be able to have a nice conversation.
clickyello@lemmy.world 1 month ago
they’re called lemmy communities, and there’s plenty of interaction! honestly it reminds me of the old days on Reddit before it ballooned into the monster it is today, I legitimately prefer it in every way other than lacking the niche communities (looking at you !2007scape@lemmy.world >.>)
you can find good political discussion in !politicalmemes@lemmy.world or !news@lemmy.world
dunno if there’s any good basketball communities tho, not my bag lol

Thank you! And I like the interactions I’ve had so far. It’s just that I’m a huge NBA fan and that’s where I spent most of my time on Reddit. The nba Lemmy community isn’t very big yet but I’m trying to change that by being more active here. I really enjoy this and it feels like actual discussions can be had here unlike on Reddit.

Lenny is naturally more focused on technology, so sports communities will probably continue to be mostly on Reddit.

Where Reddit has “subreddits” Lemmy has “communities.” Which is a 4 syllable word with 9 or 11 letters depending on singular or plural and no convenient abbreviation so most of us especially the Reddit expats lapse back into calling them “subs.”

Thank you for information! I’m happy to have joined this community. For the most part there’s actual discussions here and not just meme answers at the top of every post

Preach, no karma chasers here.

Comms and subcomms?
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
No such thing as a subcommunity AFAIK. There are instances (like lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works) and those instances have communities (like Technology or AskLemmy or…do we have a MallNinjaShit yet anywhere on the Fediverse?)

Cumms and subcumms
Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 1 month ago
“Sub” is a generic term from the BBS days, short for “subforum”, “subcommunity”, whatever, so I just use that. I don’t like to use “community” because it’s long and clunky.
Chespirito@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I wasn’t aware of that! Thank you for educating me on the term.

Try posting on asklemmy, it may not be big enough for individual communities but I think you could bring in a crowd on a post about a particular episode if you posted there

Is that its intended use? Actually not a bad idea
MataVatnik@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Maybe contact the mods, but I used it to identify a fledgling with great success

It would be great to have people like you on fediverser.network. Follow the subreddits that you miss from there and use to promote the Lemmy alternatives.
And I hope to see you soon on !nba@nba.space. :)
