    Reddit, X/Twitter, Facebook… I’m here to get away from all of those.

    Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse doesn’t have to exist in contrast to other social media.

    It can just be.

      There’s a couple communities that I have blocked perky because they’re importing posts from reddit. Not screenshots, but years to decades old posts that are archived. All the power to you to waste your server space, but do it quietly.

        I just joined lemme.ee today and just saw that…smh.

        Why are they doing that? I think it was r/games or something. Just lots and lots of automated posts…what’s the point? It just seems to destroy the chance of community and engagement if it’s just doing that. What’s the strategy that I’m not understanding?

      Funny thing is… I posted one of these on Bluesky.

      Look inside

    Most people that post about Reddit are newcomers that are frustrated with the old platform and just want to vent. Posts like that are often their first ones: you should just let them vent a little and welcome them, instead of stifling them immediatly.
    That’s how you get a steady flow of new users.

    Lemmy sometimes feels like cult. Yes, I am here because Reddit went to shit. Yes, I want Reddit alternative, but being made fun of people who want it to be like Reddit is just ridiculous.

    I see this as an absolut win. Why? Because people who transists over time has the old rotten platform and their anger/reasons of migrating to us at their minds.

    No posts about Elon and fuckspez, means no transition anymore.

    I’m very impressed with startrek.website. The community appears to me to have completely forgotten about Reddit altogether.
