Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let's do this! 🤝

Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.

Switched yesterday and so far, really liking it. Might even say, it’s better than Reddit at the moment already.

No heavy echo-chamber/ toxicity (yet). Just waiting that it becomes more active with more communities.

[–] June@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

The echo chambers are here, they’re just not quite as obvious. And, there are competing echo chambers so sometimes the whiplash between posts is a bit intense lol.

It’s probably because of the instances that some of the subs I’m subscribed to are in lol.

[–] Pizzarules668@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just switch a couple of days ago and I feel more willing to post and comment

[–] gornar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm the same way!

[–] super_user_do@feddit.it 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's time to teach them we can actually build a free, open source and popular alternative to their dystopian monopoly!

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The sad part is reddit actually used to be open-source. They've become what they wanted to destroy. Sad times.

[–] Texas_Hangover@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Much like Google's motto used to read; don't be evil.

[–] TempleSquare@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I feel like Aaron Swartz exiting and later dying played a role. There was no longer his voice to check bad business behavior.

This just popped up in my feed again. I had almost forgotten that reddit still exists. Fuck you.

[–] AugustMetronome@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

As a former Apollo user, using wefwef for lemmy has made adoption so easy. 10/10, it's basically an Apollo clone in-browser and has been working great. https://wefwef.app/

[–] PixelatedAvocado@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I found wefwef and it was the only thing making me less sad when I deleted Apollo. Basically feels like Reddit in 2010-2011 but with a modern third party Reddit interface. Better experience and I don’t have to support /u/spez? Sign me up.

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm using wefwef too, but it doesn't keep me logged in for some reason.

[–] AugustMetronome@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago

Since it's browser-based, do you have a setting that auto refreshes your cookies, or are you using a privacy mode browser?

[–] Swisside@feddit.ch 2 points 2 years ago

Let's go.

Reddit is dead to me anyways.

[–] n00dl3@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Hopefully we can help create new communities on Lemmy. Nothing will truly replace Reddit but new groups will be created and over time they will become great.

[–] Falloutbros101@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah switched to lemmy yesterday and currently finding it ok. I’m usually just on phone so it’s a little weird, but I’m here for the community XD

[–] lucoso@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago

i prefer reddit UI, but, there is no way im going back to reddit

[–] Datas_Cat_Spot@startrek.website 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The popularity of this community might finally get me into pirating, lol. I subbed out of curiosity.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I like that this community is dedicated to the concept of piracy based on their principals. I'm not involved, but I appreciate it

[–] beaumains@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

I'm not involved either. I definitely would never do anything so abhorrent and inconsiderate of rights holders who purchased their copyrights fair and square.

Never.

Ever.

Infinity still working right?

[–] Icedrous@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority but it doesn't make sense why these elitists are so upset. It was bound to happen eventually. Then they say the official Reddit app is unusable? It's functional, it probably works better than half of the third party apps do anyway.

The only thing I'm upset about is the developers lost well earned money and their time and effort to make these apps only for them to shit the bed. But let's be real: nobody's really going to quit Reddit. I joined lemmy because I wanted a new social media app and I'm going to be using it alongside Reddit. Will I use Reddit more than lemmy? No, probably not. Will I use lemmy more than Reddit? Also no, probably not that either. I'll use them side by side.

It's kind of a shame that lemmy has mods though, from what I've been reading up on it, I thought it would be better than Reddit when it comes to freedom of speech. But just because it's "federated" doesn't mean you can't say whatever you want. It just means it's not owned by anyone in particular.

[–] WomenAreSoPrettyWTF@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

what specific views are you having suppressed

[–] Icedrous@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Personal opinions, like my city's take on safe drug usage to lgbt stances that I don't agree with

[–] WomenAreSoPrettyWTF@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

you're suppressed on reddit because of your opinions about lgbt people? what kind of opinions?

[–] Icedrous@sh.itjust.works -3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I was permanently banned from Reddit for saying something about Robin Hobb's series Assassin Apprentice that it was gay and had a non-binary character, proceeding to say I'd never finish it because of that.

Or I've seen countless people get banned from Reddit saying to keep the kids out of the lgbt stuff.

I remember saying before I got banned that I didn't really agree with pride, mainly because international men's day is also in June and ever since pride was a thing, that's been glossed over. So I was upset about it and I remember I got a lot of hateful comments for even bringing it up.

[–] iokus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

If that was meant to exonerate you, it mostly just made you sound pretty bad. Refusing to finish one of the most remarkable fantasy series since The Lord of the Rings because you can't tolerate the existence of gay or nonbinary people isn't normal behavior. I genuinely hope that you try to work on yourself and sort out this simmering hatred instead of getting upset about humans who are different from you existing.

[–] Icedrous@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 years ago

See that's what most people were saying and when I got into why, I got banned for hate speech.

So why does their opinion outmatch mine?

[–] WomenAreSoPrettyWTF@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't really understand what not agreeing with pride means. is that different from saying pride month and pride events are bad

[–] Icedrous@sh.itjust.works -2 points 2 years ago

They're not bad, they're just unwarranted.
