Is anyone else having trouble giving up Reddit due to content?

I’m not trying to cause an argument but when Reddit pulled it’s bs - I said that’s enough. I gave up my Reddit addiction and didn’t open it or visit the site for over 30 days.

The tone and people on Lemmy is great. I don’t miss Reddit. But I miss the content types. For me Reddit was a topic related news source, a place for great discourse about those news pieces, a place where community members asked constructive questions or shared ideas/projects - and lastly a place for some very specific community types.

Over the last few days I noticed that the first 2 categories of content came over to Lemmy no problem. But the second 2 types I outlined above don’t seem to have come. I went back to Reddit this morning and it’s all still there. Certain types of posts just don’t happen on Lemmy, and on top of that many communities never came over (street_photography is a great example. They literally shut down a subreddit with thousands of users and created a new location in Lemmy/kbin, and inst

  • This seems like a very bad idea. I’m concerned that having a test might cause people to suspend their critical thinking responsibility and may have other issues like being inaccurate or causing deep fake tech to just leap frog over it - and then be able to benefit from fake authenticity measurements.

  • I’m not sure this makes any sense. Drop is a company that doesn’t even “make” anything. Maybe their logistics department is impressive but the entire purpose of them is (or was maybe I’m out of the loop) - to bring flash/surge discounts to purchasing offers (it’s basically group-buy concept commercialized) and yes they are popular in many niche markets for bringing custom options to market- but they did this by having the original manufacturers make it for them.

    So what’s the point. You’re already Corsair, you have a stronger market presence in the keyboard space? Is this going to cost all of us because they will no longer focus on other communities like headphones?

    I guess I’ve answered my question, mergers always cost the consumers.

  • I haven’t tried it yet, but with past Betas, I usually would not head into them at this point, too much risk it would have work-day impacting bugs but if it’s stable maybe I’ll give it a try. I really want to try WatchOS and you can’t do that without iOS

  • Sure. It’s art just like many digital tool assisted products came before it. Is it always difficult art to make ? No but who cares. It’s OC as long as the source of this AI art is the person posting.

    Does anyone else hope the bulk of Reddit stays there?

    I think my favorite thing about Lemmy is that it feels like Reddit used to. Less negativity, more engaged users (I think). I know it will be fun to watch Reddit die, but if I put spite aside what I’m really mad at Reddit about is more about what Reddit became and maybe part of that is when the general internet user started going to Reddit and it became less like the small community it was years ago. Feel free to disagree or share an argument 😉

    Just had a thought about feed sterilization

    I began noticing on Reddit (official mobile app) that if I hadn’t viewed a community in a while, it would NEVER show up in my feed. I always assumed this was Reddit trying to play “Facebook” BS - safe to assume with Lemmy that won’t be the case?

    Apollo - A beautiful app built for power and speed. @reddthat.com

    Christian, if you build it they will come!

    I’m wondering how much work it would be to adapt Apollo to Lemmy, would he call it “Apollo 2” (it is a new mission after all). Or maybe something different. Boy would it make the transition easy to just have the mature Apollo on day 15 of the Lemmy migration. 😍

    Is it possible to not have Plex shrink movies during credits?

    I get what it’s going for - but I don’t want my own media trying to push me to watch more before I’m done with the current film (aka credits). Feels like I’m not in control which is the entire point of hosting my own server for 10yrs.

    Just watched The Machine, so much better than I was hoping!

    Anyone else seen it yet? I’m a fan of Bert - but not a die hard by any means. I was hoping it would just be entertaining, but it was awesome!!
