Your title is terrible. Use the article's title.

You should edit the OP too.

Linking directly to reddit helps them show up at the top of search results. Use archive websites.

The person who created the "List of Active Reddit Alternatives" is a dev who helped work on saidit.net. They deleted the post themselves and quit being a mod of that redditalternatives sub; due to their disgust with reddit and many of the users on it.

That subreddit is not trustworthy now. I recall someone sharing evidence of content they're censoring.

How do you find out what mastodon instances block others?

[–] Anon518@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

it’s slowly turning into the old twitter.

How?

[–] Anon518@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Unfortunately, I haven't observed that. There seem to be many people on Lemmy who go out of their way to be antagonistic to other Lemmy users. Which includes downvote brigading, as the OP said.

[–] Anon518@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I couldn't get anyone from reddit to move over.

[–] Anon518@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Yeah, this is just manufactured drama. The screenshots showing what preceded his comment show the whole thing to clearly be bait for the purpose of creating drama.

The problems would only get exacerbated if more of them migrate over here, that’s the issue.

I doubt that it would make Lemmy significantly worse. I've already had to block nearly a hundred lemmy communities for containing the "mindless trash" that is abundant on reddit. The reality is that most people aren't smart and don't want to browse and participate in intellectual content. They want to mindlessly scroll through endless memes. I have not observed that people on lemmy are overall more intelligent than people on reddit.

[–] Anon518@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I don't think so. I think Lemmy already & inherently has many of the same problems. People are people, no matter where you go.

Lemmy is only better because it's not centrally controlled.

I think it's essential to have one or more communities like this. There were a few on reddit -- watchredditdie, declineintocensorship, and more. The admins shut them down. I was unsuccessful in getting them to move over to Lemmy.

Absolutely the same things happen on lemmy. It's to be expected from both mods and admins. We need to have a place we can go to find out "which are the bad communities & instances".

The main problem I foresee is that those "watchredditdie and declineintocensorship" subs seemed to be well modded and mostly populated with intelligent people. In contrast, lemmy seems to have quite a lot of trolls, unintelligent people, and likely astroturfing. That will make things more difficult.

 

I did a search from shitjustworks for "reddit die" and did not find https://lemmy.world/c/watchredditdie so I made https://sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie (unnecessarily). This should really not happen. When someone makes a community there should be a "ping" sent out to notify all other federated instances.

And from what I know, if I post to !sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie only users on sh.itjust.works will see the posts until other people from other instances randomly come across it somehow and subscribe? This really needs to be improved.

 

I saw some weird pro-reddit content on other reddit-themed communities and then !snoocalypse@lemmy.ml went into archive mode, so I decided to make this to keep it clean from any reddit shills lurking in the dark. I'll start by posting some historical content.

By the way, anyone know what might be the most anti-reddit lemmy instance? I'd hate to find out that shitjustworks likes reddit and doesn't want a "watch reddit die" community on their instance.

 

Moving to the fediverse

Hi guys, are you familiar with the fediverse? It's an open-source reddit-alternative that is owned and run by no one. So it doesn't suffer from the threat of a single hostile entity making drastic, unwanted changes, as we recently saw with reddit, resulting in the side-wide protests.

It would be great to have your subreddit join the fediverse! If you do, I would suggest not using lemmy.world, as it's already the largest instance and it's better to spread things out so no one has too much control.

Info:

You can even create your own instance like /r/futurology and /r/piracy did https://futurology.today, https://lemmy.dbzer0.com. If you do, you may want to seed your community with content https://futurology.today/post/166237.

Once you make a community on Lemmy you could sticky a post in your sub to let your community know, and/or create an automod sticky in each thread.
