I wonder if that's what all the banned subs thing was about. Maybe "some content" = NSFW subs

i’m guessing older posts, maybe 6+ months. so basically question you google with an answer on reddit.

niche communities that don’t exist on lemmy.

[–] Joelk111@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

This is the reason. I can get all the Linux discussion I want on Lemmy, but discussions about an Acura RSX? That community does not exist here.

[–] ad_on_is@lemm.ee 1 points 6 minutes ago

Yeah... I also miss doom-scrolling unixporn and ergomechkeyboards in here.

you mean onlyfans spam?

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

A lot of people dont use an app at all, much less third party apps, so the whole thing was lost on them to begin with, if they were even aware of it.

Prediction: This change comes to life, people make an uproar about this. Then they forget this in a few days and continue using reddit.

This same old keeps happening with reddit, Twitter/X, etc.

Hopefully we do receive some refugees to Lemmy!

[–] Keshara@lemmy.world 23 points 9 hours ago

Reddit refugee here! Really enjoying Lemmy so far, I hope more and more people start jumping over

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 17 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Reddit likely won’t die from one bad change, it’s going to slowly die to attrition as they keep putting shit like this in.

[–] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's been slowly dying from attrition . It might be gaining users, but meaningful interactions and content production is down from 3 years ago.

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Yup, and the trend just continues.

[–] Anarch157a@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 hours ago

I see more and more people moving to Bluesky, which means Xitter is becoming less and less relevant by the day. Except for nazi shitheads, that is.

In other news, Lemmy will keep all its content open for free, making everything accessible to everyone.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 9 points 9 hours ago

As a sidenote, do tip your instance operators, especially if you're on a small instance. Upkeep isn't free.

[–] dugmeup@lemmy.world 52 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

So Lemmy will have more this year

[–] ad_on_is@lemm.ee 33 points 11 hours ago

I guess we can expect another burst of Reddit refugees

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 9 points 11 hours ago

One can only hope they’ll have the mind/willingness to.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 27 points 12 hours ago

Enshittification? Man, who could have seen that coming?

[–] RonnyZittledong@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago

This is great news... for lemmy!

[–] breakfastmtn@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 hours ago

Amazing! Keep stepping on rakes, Reddit.

Well I will be no longer on Reddit then. I’m so sick of this fleecing us at every turn
