I don’t think people really understand that reddit is an 18 year old product. Their original site was iterated on for 10 years before they stopped building on it.

Lemmy will get there and beyond. As the fediverse attracts more users, it will also attract more contributors. I’m starting to learn Rust myself in hopes I can contribute to the project at some point down the line.

Please for anyone reading, just be patient. Keep posting and commenting and it WILL grow. There are only like 1.2 million Lemmy users versus hundreds of millions of redditors.

If you follow the 90-9-1 rule, that leaves very few actual contributors and still Lemmy has a lot of good content daily. Just be patient and it will come.

Laguna.chat has a lot of really racist communities

Just saw a post on reddit alternatives and there was a comment inviting users to laguna.chat. I went and checked it out and the trending communities list included, ‘jews did 911’, ‘killnirs’, ‘hitler was right’, and 'Fuck Nirs’. One of the user accounts was u/HangNi***rs....

Official Reddit announcement posts now follow a well-defined archetype. The latest accessibility announcement is just the latest example.

In the old days, official reddit announcement posts were a little different. Spuds, or another high-level admin would reply to a comment. Dozens of users would then reply with something like “When are you going to ban r/the_donald.” The threads were massive and quickly became unwieldy, but they seemed organic....

I’m still in the transition phase. I was pretty intertwined with the site so it takes a little time to unwind all of that.

Society will never progress while Fox News is allowed to remain on the air. Fox News creates digital walls to segregate the audience from reality.

Rogan should be deplatformed. We don’t have a robust enough education system for ‘free speech’ to work when people like Rogan are just lying to people.

What they want is freedom to control reality. What Republicans say, every day is not real, they don’t live in reality. What they want is not free speech, they have that more than ever. What they want is to dictate reality to the rest of us.

All conservative are bad, acab as it were.

How can I run a Lemmy instance on a rPi 4? I've tried several methods and both fail because docker didn't support arm v7 or v8

It’s been a rough day. First I tried the lemmy-easy-deploy script because, hey, I’m lazy. That failed, so I then tried the ansible playbook and had some success with it. At first, Let’s Encrypt was not working, and I had to sort out my dynamic dns provider....

I can’t get into calling subs “magazines”. Communities is much better.

I want to start creating bots for Lemmy, but have a couple of questions about iterating through posts, comments, repports...

I’m new to lemmy, only been here a few days, but I have already ported over one of my reddit bots to Lemmy and it was really easy, like orders of magnitude easier than it was to get my first reddit bot working....

c/BuckRowdy is a place for me to share my thoughts about my 11 years on reddit, my new home on Lemmy, and vast amounts of screenshots of crazy reddit content from my mod subs.

I have lots and lots of thoughts about my time on reddit, how this site now makes me feel, and how I’m excited to be on Lemmy. I’ll fill this place with content when I get time. Hello and Welcome.

mlmym.org is a front end for Lemmy that looks just like old reddit. It provides a familiar experience (mlmym.org)

Like many of you I’m here because I’m done with reddit. I’m just getting started here and I found a front end for Lemmy that provides the old reddit interface. I like the lemmy.world interface just fine, but old habits are hard to break. I think using Lemmy with this front end will help me spend more time here because of...
