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.

Its not as large as reddit but still large. Many of us peruse all and block communities we have no interest in. I block meme and sports and very niche communites unless im into that very niche thing. Of course also block trolls or such or users who irriate you. create the experience you want. in piefed I there is a nice thing to make notes on users which is great to not block right away over one thing.

And some of those notes are hilarious in screenshot

I generally do a quick run through of their comment history to see if they're an inveterate troll or they're just having a bad day. At least I did before people started hiding their history on reddit.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

yeah which is what I like about the tagging. I generally only like to block if I don't see genuine interaction in the history so troll or bot or whatever. The notes let me know this guy is just sorta an asshole or this guy been great so maybe I am seeing a bad day or such.

Of course, you could weaponize notes to acquire a list of user's triggers and antogonize them; being blocked can be its own reward.

Hopefully, lemmy is full of healthy and happy interactions such that my petty & post-traumatic need for vengeance naturally dies a natural death.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 4 weeks ago

yeah notes like that can be kept anywhere. notes are just notes. Honestly I would like voting to be just about ones account and how the feed shows for oneself rather than being a community thing. sans that the notes can somewhat of a placeholder.

I have never blocked anything or anyone, I have not either reported anyone for anything. Except I guess once in my first year on social media, once or twice obvious influence agents accounts,

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I'd be curious to see from which of my subs I've blocked users. Some places are more contentious than others... I've never blocked a user from a cat sub, for instance.

I don't think I've ever seen a real argument on a cat group, not a contentious one, and very few on the other nature groups, I was on like all of them the gruesome ones even to sometimes like nature is metal even though I hate to see it.
