I mean I’m new here and i can’t see a lot of stuff like on reddit
Reddit had many years of growth. Lemmy is more like what Reddit started as.
It’s one of the better Reddit alternatives.
Trade off.
Less nichey and less specific, but more community, you run into the same people multiple places.
What are you looking for?
to be honest I’m looking for communities like nosleep etc. Maybe they exist because I didn’t figure out how it works yet
Ooh, I’d love something like this too. There’s a creepypasta community but it doesn’t have frequent posts unfortunately.
Do you use anything else than lemmy and Reddit?
Lemmy is the most active reddit alternative that I’m aware of.
No, not currently. I’ve pretty much been getting by with Lemmy and substituting with Reddit where needed. Believe it or not, Lemmy has grown a lot within the past year or two. I think it will eventually get to a decent spot but that may take a while longer.
I think people like piefed, which is kind of a separate thing but also federated. It’s weird.
But think of it as going to a different culture: different culture do different things well and if you’re just looking to COPY your cultural matrix onto another culture, you are going to miss out on what makes that culture unique.
Example:
French have a really amazing culture of comic books. A French person learning Spanish might think, “Oh, I’ll just read a bunch of Spanish comic books” and be immediately disappointed. The solution isn’t to say, “Well, I guess Spanish culture just sucks,” it is to recognize that your current preferences are formed by what your culture was good at and take the time and effort to appreciate new things. ’ Which is a big part of why I hate Soda Stereo so much, but that’s a different story.
I doubt that was their question. Lemmy/piefed/mbin are all different infras but since they all talk with each other as of they weren’t, for questions about communities and content they all tap into the same network.
Yeah, that would be great. Unfortunately I havent found one yet, and I’m no writer.
I swear I saw one in the !newcommunities@lemmy.world or !communitypromo@lemmy.ca somewhat recently but I could be misremembering
I mean I’m new here
You have already become part of the solution!
you gotta subscribe to a LOT of communities to get a somewhat active feed
I just browse all communities, and block the ones I don’t want to see.
On many instances too. You’ll have to get to know what their niches and userbase is like
Yes, chocolate for example.
Lemmy is really the best alternative ive found, it reminds me of reddit when it was new.
Yeah, Piefed.
*Pylova because PieFed is
shitThanks for helping promote it
democracy and taxes
Liberal democracy is a vile anti-democratic institution (and I don’t necessarily even think that direct democracy is the best or only method of horizontal, anti-authoritarian decision making without extra information; i.e. upholding democracy as the be-all end-all of “all power to all the people” is itself a lack of imagination). Almost every imperialist power today is a liberal-democratic state. Liberal democracy is a resounding success at what it is designed to do, which is oppress the proletariat and entrench capitalist hegemony while giving the superficial appearance of proletarian representation to gullible liberals.
And no actually, proletarians should not be paying a single goddamn fucking penny to capitalists or their demonic governments as long as they use our money to destroy us, doom our ecology, and just barely maintain the social services or infrastructure statists claim that these institutions are supposed to provide, which incidentally, half the bourgeoisie doesn’t even want their governments to even give the workers enough crumbs off the table to buy proletarians’ compliance!
Something you Tankies fail to realize is that your rabid and biggoted craziness actually pushes people further towards liberalism.
It’s hilarious watching Autocratists and Authoritarianists lecture others about living in subservience.
And when have I ever supported authoritarian projects or autocracy? You just don’t like being called out as the liberal you are.
Reminder that lib means very different things depending on which part of the world you’re in
What are you into?
The fediverse isn’t as addictive or algorithmic as legacy corporate social media, but I follow stuff that I’m interest and see new things everyday.
I see a good amount of stuff here. Sorting by New and even just looking at Local shows plenty. (Once you get your language option set, like several others have already said).
I mean, it’s quite a lot quieter overall than reddit. Especially on niche topics. But I think that’s okay. Quality over quantity. And IMO it’s still busy enough to spend your time if you cast your topic net wider. Plus, at least here you don’t have to put up with reddit’s shitty policies and constant monetizing/farming user data.
The amount of content on here is less plentiful, so browsing all and blocking the communities you don’t like has been how I curated my feed. If a community doesn’t exist you can always make one (easier said than done I know).
Some posts may be not visible for you because you did not choose any language(s) in your settings. I suggest to not just look for local communities (the ones created on https://lemmy.world/), there are plenty on other servers.
How do you see what languages they selected?
How do you see what languages they selected?
So you mean other users or an entire instance? Besides assumptions by looking at posts (and guess/recognize) you can’t see which languages are selected. When you are referring to yourself, well, I guess that depends on your browser and operating system among other things.
Well you mentioned they didn’t choose any languages in their settings, so I was wondering how you knew that.
I see. Thanks. To be clear: I do not know it. It was an assumption I made. I tried to indicate that by using the word may. When I post/comment stuff I usually do not use software to assist me phrasing it or to correct my grammar on purpose. I want to interact genuinely. Sometimes I look up single words in the dictionary as english is not my first language. My hope is that most of my contributions are still more or less comprehensible. (And if not, we can talk about misunderstandings just like now.)
There is piefed. I am even using it to see your post and write this comment
Its not something that helps with your problem since the 2 platforms share the same feed
Yes, but Lemmy hasn’t blocked me yet because of some weird comment. Reddit did it again yesterday. I know I should delete my Reddit account but…
If there were something more active than the fediverse (lemmy, piefed, mbin) you would have heard of it already.
Probably you can not see much including my other post, as a result of no chosen language(s) in your settings. Look at this hint and not just for local communities (the ones created on https://lemmy.world/), there are plenty on other servers.
