/r/Nonbinarytalk discuss backup plans, names Lemmy the best alternative, only comment is about Bluesky

I did my part and I cross-posted it to a few Subreddits. Hopefully I can spread awareness and possibly get some of these communities to begin the process of migrating or at least setting up an official presence here on Lemmy.

That's great, blahaj is perfect for them. LGBT users are much more likely to migrate (aside from porn users lol).

aside from porn users

IMO, Lemmy is going to miss the boat when Reddit bans porn. When all the OnlyFans people come here to the Reddit alternative and find out that they can't post promotions and links to their own profiles and pin them, and that they probably won't be getting followers because the functionality seems to be sparsely implemented with some platforms / apps allowing it and others not; they're going to look for another platform where they'll be able to promote themselves and not just give away pictures and clips for free with nothing in return.

Had a conversation earlier that made me realise that this place kinda sucks for anyone interested in self promotion. And IMO the devs need to seriously consider this because regardless of how one feels about porn, it's something that has the potential to attract a lot more people here who might come for the porn but stay for the memes.
- Following people and personal subs is a relatively new feature on Reddit. Before that, people used to create a sub for themselves and just post to it. It's possible here too.
- Meh. Lemmy doesn't have to be huge.
  Let the brands go somewhere else.
  Brands are anti-social anyway and this is
  social media.
- Not to mention that many instances will consider that automated onlyfans promo behavior to be spammy and be more likely to ban them. I know I would. A lot of the people who do that set up bots to crosspost their content rapidly and broadly as well as deleting and reposting stuff to make it rise to the top and stay there. The worst of these people get banned by Reddit for this so I don't see why Lemmy instances would tolerate that kind of behavior anywhere near the amount Reddit does.

@AnimalPlanet@lemmy.blahaj.zone FYI

Thanks for the ping! Ive messaged them.
- Good luck!

2015 : first reddit exodus. 2016: little shit spez was changing user comments. 2023: another exodus. Why are they not moving like right now? And why wondering about alternatives? There is only Lemmy left now. It's not that hard.

Also I can't see what they are talking about because "[My] request has been blocked due to a network policy."

"CW: US pol

Reddit will probably have to comply with project 2025 once a few more laws are implemented. reddit is obviozsly not our friend and will probably delete queer and trans related contentent.

We should and essoecially the mod teams, look into alternatives in case this happends.

Lemmy is one alternative I can think of. Although it has its problems a big advantage is that it is decentralized and there are a lot of servers that arent based in the US. It also isnt owned by anyone and is free opensource software that means that anyone can see the source code and can also fork their own project from it.

Its also best to migrate different communities onto different servers to have different domains.

idk look im not an expert I just want these communities to be awear that reddit wont be there(the queer comunities) forever"
its hard to leave anywhere youve been over a decade, permabanning me is the only reason I even saw lemmy lol
- I left when they killed Apollo.
  
  I never liked the native app, and I found lemmings to be good folk.
  
  I think now is the most important time to ditch American social media.
- I didn't find it particularly difficult.
