I like !edc, it has the potential and needs to migrate from Reddit. Glad to get r/piracy and r/datahoarder migrated over to here, although datahoarder still mostly is a second home at Lemmy.
One has to appreciate that Reddit he organically and got segmented in subs over time, who knows how many empty subs died on the wayside before the many niches we hold dear took off.
The cordcutters subreddit was really nice, users constantly engaging in talks about better alternatives to cable/internet/streaming options.
The lemmy version is like an aquarium full of dead fish that nobody cares to clean out. The only ‘poster’ is a ‘news’ bot that just spams every article from cordcutters.com (most of which are just advertisements for deals/discounts).
At this point even ghost towns have more presence and/or engagement. If you block the ‘news’ bot, there’s next-to-nothing there.
The big stuff has transferred quite nicely, as have tech communities, but other niche communities seem to have floundered. Even ones that explicitly and openly made the switch died off, like r/streetphotography. It seems raw user count is pretty critical to supporting them.
Basically most of the niche communities are extremely slow or dead. It’s understandable since the daily lemming user rate is 33,000 where seeing a post with 33,000 likes is not uncommon Reddit.
I honestly never know what people mean by “niche”, everyone seems to have a different cutoff. But also the word you’re looking for is “communities”, we users are the lemmings 😄
While I absolutely abhor the use of ‘Lemmings’ in regards to anything related to Lemmy, I have only seen it used to describe the people that use it, and not the communities.
You took a dumb thing and made it 1,000 times dumber.
Then explain what OP did wrong, in a non-derogatory way, give them alternatives to what they could say instead of just demeaning them.
Know what makes people look REALLY REALLY dumb? Talking down to people that don’t know better. Besides if you’re so smart, why don’t you educate the ignorant without insulting them?
Lol @ using that mental gymnastic to pretend you won an argument. People say don’t feed the trolls but if nobody gave the monkeys peanuts they wouldn’t dance like fools for our amusement.
Mental gymnastics? What are you even talking about? I got to call a stupid thing stupid and pissed an asshole idiot like you off which makes me happy. And now you’re pretending like there’s some sort of win on your end because you allowed me to rile you up? There’s definitely some sort of attempt at mental gymnastics going on here, but it’s from your end and it’s a massive failure.
Oh I’m definitely enjoying it. You’re even acknowledging that fact. You’re so close to figuring out what’s going on here, you just have all the roles switched up.
Also, for someone who was whining about me being mean, you sure are (trying to) come in hard with the personal attacks.
Lol what personal attacks? I don’t know anything about you except that you clap your cymbals and dance to a guy playing a music box, like any well trained monkey on the street does. 🙉🎶🙊🎶🙈
I like how you asked “what personal attacks?” and then proceeded to repeat said personal attacks. Just because they’re not remotely clever or true doesn’t mean you’re not trying your hardest to make things personal. I’m dealing with an absolute genius here.
!flashlight started strong, but has definitely slowed down a little. !edc (everyday carry pocket dumps) and !knives have slowed down even more. Maybe they’re too consumerish for Lemmy’s culture.
Feel the same. Leftist culture probably also frowns at knives and such stuff, and sopuli is a Finnish instance which means its a lot of Europeans that love their EDC gear and knives, and feels like either too much aggressive or a luxury in leftists’ minds. If it were communicated that guns are not the kind of gear that EDC lovers congregate over, it could become more appealing to Lemmy.
