Apollo for Reddit died. Came here as it was supposedly a better experience. Used to be super active and use Reddit for hours a day for nearly a decade, now I barely use this platform at all as it’s insufferable and tiny tbh. The Linux Cultism here is off the charts and cringe as fuck, the communities are tiny and spammy and bloat the All page, so I block users and communities every day, and it’s been a pretty mediocre experience here for the year I’ve used it. Reddit is ofc a crapshoot now so it’s not worth going back, so I just use this platform for maybe 5-10m a day and that’s all my social media browsing for the day. So Reddit dying and not being replaced with a decent alternative actually cracked my addiction for endless scrolling which is super nice.

Here you go, here’s the price. It’s a bit overpriced for what you get in the meal but it’s about the same as any other meal deal they have.

God this platform is insufferable. Lemmy is always “Linux is god, windows is satan; iPhone bad, android good” on every post and it’s unbelievably cringe. I can see why this platform still has a tiny amount of users. The elitism is as bad as Reddit vs iFunny/Imgur/whatever a decade ago.

Yes. Yes you are posting way too much. We had a member on our large discord that felt the need to reply to every piece of co tent and every thread, and they were eventually banned; because people stopped opening threads or participating because they knew every time they posted or commented or replied, it would be replied to by that one person. Don’t be that person. You’re not “encouraging activity and making Lemmy more active” you’re being annoying and the inane questions everywhere just make people block you and are discouraged from replying or posting. Take a step back; you don’t need to be everywhere.

Pansies, and they’re a very common edible flower! Often used to decorate desserts. I’ve picked them for an edible flower farm in the millions. They taste…like lettuce that’s been sprayed directly with perfume…so, not great…

Of course not, because he creates good content for a wide array of communities, but I don’t see 6 of his posts in a row; he’s easily carrying this platform on his shoulders.

 

I just leave my feed on All to see a bit of everything, but it drives me nuts when I see someone either post the same link in quick succession to 3+ instances at the same time, so they all end up next to each other on my feed, or you post several related posts (photography, articles etc) within a few minutes so your name and all your context blocks out a large chunk of the All feed, I downvote each post, then block you as a poster, and each of the instances as well. I understand cross posting and wanting to create content for the community is something you want to do to get the Lemmy ball rolling more, but spamming is just extremely annoying, regardless of the content.
