Watch Reddit die. Pray for Reddit to die. Help Reddit die.

Rules

  1. No Reddit shills or trolls. But if you have a good argument for why Reddit should live, we'll hear you out.
  2. Try to be civil and intelligent. Be angry at Reddit, not each other.
  3. Provide evidence as much as possible without doxxing or harassing people.
  4. Should probably avoid linking directly to Reddit. Use archive.today and archive.org links.

Will add more rules as needed.

If you're concerned that your post might be astroturfed/brigaded by pro-reddit individuals, give us mods a heads up beforehand, and we'll try to monitor the thread.

Tips for adjusting to Lemmy (sh.itjust.works)

Is there an orientation manual for Lemmy? Honestly, Lemmy isn't even the first DDG result for Lemmy (the first result is the Motorhead founder).

What I really want to know is how to pull in forums from other servers because I'm used to a very curated firehouse of content from Reddit and Lemmy so far seems more about making do with what conversation and audience are available. I found a page from 3 years ago describing a somehwat programmery process to do so....

Also, is there a place to find similar reddit subs? My favorite sub on reddit was the subreddit NOT about literally fucking cars but about the importance of micromobility in a car-dominated landscape. Also: cats who look like Ron Perlman.

As long as your instance federates with other instances, there isn’t a need to have a separate account.

For example, I am a member of lemmy.dbzer0.com and you are part of sh.itjust.works and we are able to communicate no problem.

You can subscribe, post, comment, private message across the fediverse.

Some instances defederate with others for a litany of reasons, political, mods/admins, etc. sometimes it’s temporary.

Picking an instance, you should try a few to see which ideology matches yours the best.

Edit: the federation (which is how instances get posts) can even be across applications. For example, piefed and lemmy share posts. Even mastodon and other fediverse sites can share! It’s really cool!

I seem to be doing ok on my first and current server. My only real complaint is that a few times I've tried to have a nuanced conversation and it's just turned into a competition to see who has the furthest-left take on it, but that's really not the worst thing in the world.

Think the community I like is pragmatic left(?)... gonna see where its coming from; probably a confederated thing since it has >0 traffic.
