!ich_iel
Technically, it has an equivalent in r/ich_iel. But that’s a generic German meme sub, while the fediverse version is dominated by half a dozen users making memes about their private life. It has a weird-as-fuck soap opera love story between a cow and ramen noodles, hero worship of a bright yellow superhero fighting against parking offenders, and genuinely interesting insights into the German public train system.
(abstract) The overall dev community here. This place has a lot of the extremely capable bleeding edgers, the people capable of changing the world for the better with a couple weeks of thought.
.ml is the oldest Lemmy instance and home of the Lemmy devs. You mostly need to ask compelling questions and read between the lines to get a bigger picture view.
Yeah, you can downvote if you want. The point being that Lemmy’s niche communities are kind of dead, because it’s not really big enough to sustain them yet. Lemmit at least provides a bridge so I can see the ones stranded on Reddit.
It’s an instance that automatically reposts every post made in certain Reddit subs.
I don’t like it, and blocked the entire instance because I don’t like the whole automatic repost thing, especially when the OP probably won’t even see any responses
Yep, those are all on Lemmit communities - foo@lemmit.online.
If you often look at all communities your instance happens to federate with sorted by new, you will get tons from whatever happens to be active, and Reddit is very active. I suggest looking at just what you subscribe to, instead, or sorting by something like scaled.
Well that’s another issue, yes. I don’t really have hard data, but anecdotally it doesn’t seem like an issue. I, at least, use Lemmy for whatever Lemmy can do. I’m on here because I like to comment and participate, and Lemmit will always be inferior at that.
Yes but as someone who likes to comment and participate, you can probably surmise that your enjoyment might be increased if there is more people commenting and participating.
For new users who have no idea what Lemmy is and how it might differ from Reddit, I think it’s a fairly safe assumption that posts from lemmit are literally referring those users back to reddit.
The lack of hard data is not a good reason not to defederate from lemmit. When weighing most decisions in life we do not have hard data. We do not have hard data supporting the use of bots from lemmit.

Yep, and at that point we’re talking about a dynamical system. It will grow if it becomes appealing to more than one user per user added. It will have to do so for several years at least before something like r/okaybuddyphd can self-sustain. Until then…
The lack of hard data is not a good reason not to defederate from lemmit.
Or a good reason to do so. I default back to theory and anecdote, then, and this is where I arrive.
I also made one for Aldi fans, surving past 40, and ethical consumerism. I would love for more fun discussions and recommendations posted on these. It’s really hard to get people to post.
One post? Kinda seems like less of a community and more like you promoting the spaces you have created. Which is fine, but not really what the question was.
It tries to quantify “how timeless” a song is based on its lyrics, by tracking the etymology of words and phrases to their earliest occurence. It then forms a score based on the terms.
/r/Piracy is just a bunch of memes, and this community actively talks about piracy, it’s ethical philosophy and taking control over your media. There are people who pirate everything regardless of circumstances, but for the most part, I’d argue its people who have been burnt by companies whom they trusted.
I disagree that it actually talks about the “ethical philosophy.” Basically either you join the echo chamber saying that there are no ethical problems with piracy, or you’re downvoted to oblivion. The responses are along the lines of “idc, I want free stuff.” That makes the discussion redundant and uninteresting.
We’re talking about whether the community has a nuanced discussion about the ethics of piracy or not. What you said just now is another attempt at a false dichotomy, so if you’re trying to represent the community you’re kind of proving my point.
Your argument is not relevant to anything I said. So I don’t want to engage with it because it derails the discussion here, which is not about the ethics of piracy but about the community’s openness to discussing it.
yes it is. you just dont want to have that discussion.
the community will rightfully shun people parroting the copyrights holders arguments and bad faith arguing, because thats not the place to be if you hate piracy.
There are people who pirate everything regardless of circumstances, but for the most part, I’d argue its people who have been burnt by companies whom they trusted.
Idk if it’s still there, but devs of lemmy mentioned wanting to make a place you could actually talk about piracy. I buy things when I can DRM free, and when I can’t I’m really glad this community exists
Gotta be !imageai. The weekly community challenges are really cool and I don’t think you could find a better space to experiment with and learn about AI artwork. The userbase is knowledgeable/skilled on the topic and also has good vibes.
Personally I don’t see that as a good thing. Reddit had a thriving community of active art sharing subrrddits, Lemmy only has a few barely active art coms and instead floods All with ai-generated images.
I feel that. There’s is a lot of ai art here and it’s a little off putting. Reddit did have a lot more to share but it comes with the user numbers for sure.
Shameless plug, but I’ve been really trying to keep up with daily posts at lemmy.world/c/crtart if you are looking for a non ai art community.
B) Lemmy also has active !traditional_art communities, it just has less activity in general. We can have an infinite amount of communities on this platform, for both topics. It’s not a zero-sum game
Why do you think the existence of the AI image community is hurting the other art communities on Lemmy? I’m subscribed to and enjoy content from both.
It’s not a zero sum game, but there are not an infinite number of eyeballs looking nor is there an infinite supply of content at any given time. If the majority of “art” floating to the top is generated, it will change how people view the platform.
Maybe the AI “art” community being the first to thrive will mean actual artists get a bad first impression and avoid Lemmy. Maybe people do block it and it becomes a problem only visible to those who don’t already “get it” and just block.
There are many reasons why it could hurt the community. How do you fail to understand that?
I never said there aren’t any reasons it could hurt the community. I simply asked what those reasons might be, and you have given me the answer to my question.
My counterpoint would be that it’s also possible that the increased activity from the AI art community energizes and grows Lemmy as a whole, and a percentage of those users are also interested in other art.
I also think that your beef is with AI art as a concept, not with the Lemmy community in particular. I feel terrible for artists that are losing their livelihood due to AI, but if AI is going to affect my life going forward, I would like to understand how it works and how to deal with it. Observing that Lemmy community has helped to clarify the capabilities and limitations of AI for me personally, along with providing entertainment.
Easily Lemmygrad and Hexbear, for the historical material, geopolitical stuff and socialist discussions. They also provide an anti-NATO/Nazi space which is bloody good.
