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.

Use the "Subscribed" navigation mode by default. And make a habit of subscribing to any community you find interesting.

Then, when you think "I need more content", hop into "All" to see all communities. Most stuff there won't interest you; but when you see something that does interest you, subscribe to that community.

Do this often enough and you'll get a large list of subscriptions, and lots of content, but it'll be mostly content you care about.

There's also Lemmy Explorer that lists around 9k communities.

Thanks! I got an app (Voyager) and its greatly simplified everything for me.

Is there a reddit-to-lemmy index? I'm in love with r/wunkus, which is a very idiosyncratic reddit sub. Still, I know from learning languages that every culture has its own unique gems.

There used to be one: redditmigration dot com. Apparently it died.

In general you won't find good Fediverse equivalent for smaller subs, due to the smaller population here. You could try to recreate them; !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone for example has rooted itself rather well here. But you could always ask people around.

I checked r/wunkus. It seems to be about animals doing dumb-but-cute stuff? While I know it is not a direct replacement, !aww@sh.itjust.works might scratch the same itch.
