Trash gang unite!

That’s is a good effort

Why is beehaw going it’s own way? I mean I kinda understand that lemmygrad might have a different world view, but why the rest?

The trash will still escape Reddit. As evidenced by my being here :)

Ahh didn’t even know that existed. Smashing it now. Thanks!

This is the issue.

We’ve known for over a decade that people come to Reddit to talk about the products they love – take r/BuyItForLife for example, a community of over 1.5 million redditors who have been sharing recommendations and advice about their lifelong, must-have purchases since 2011. These updates will uplevel the search-and-discover experience for both brands and our users by tapping into our differentiated value as a hub for actionable conversation

So they are now going to make it so corporate shills can dilute the quality of their content with a whole lotta shit

Even is Lemmy isn’t right, why not have a look around and see if you can replace Reddit with something else, even if it’s a mix of stuff.

This is the beginning of the enshittification of Reddit - it’s no longer about providing a good user experience, it’s about providing a good corporate experience. This means that the content will get worse and worse , and less and less relevant. Stage 3 is where Reddit fucks over the advertisers and starts making bank, and shortly after that with no users and no corporate support it starts to implode…

And then you will need to move off the platform.

Or - you could move off now. Lemmy is ok, the best for chatting. I’ve been using Imgur for memes but miss NSFW content, and Lemmy is also very NSFW unfriendly. So for me right now it’s a bit of a mix.

I’m working on my own content aggregator with the features of Reddit, but in the end it’s just for me if nobody gives a damn and that’s ok

NSFW looks like it’s going away / heavily restricted starting July 5th

So far I’ve moved to Imgur for my doom scrolling, Lemmy for some basic chat, my local news app for the news and kaotic.com if I need a dose of reality. For nice interest groups there is Facebook, but it’s not as good. Haven’t searched hard for that yet

So far that seems to have largely replaced Reddit.

I got into a convo on Imgur with someone who was just going to go back after the blackout and I was like “nah this is your chance. It’s also the moment that Reddit falls apart” they were like nah yeah nah. This post right here proves I was right.

Anyway, it’s a lot of work visiting all these sources so I think I might just make my own personal link aggregator

Choice is probably the solution here.

Nah people will find it. Right now it should be just about growth and then let it specialise from there

We could just get all new users to sign up to lemmygrad

I’m getting the following error reading this post: “item at index 2 does not exist”

Should I post this on stack overflow or some other Lemmy help community?

After trying jerboa I ended up going this route. I keep getting server errors using the pwa though not sure if lemmy.ml just can’t handle the traffic or I’m doing something wrong

Agree on the pick a server … And then approval!

I had almost forgotten about it but I’m glad I came back.

I think maybe the ability to just join a generic starting point and then port your account when you find where you want to be might be a better model, but that will remain to be seen

That was my first thought as well but again I don’t use it

Sorry I misread your comment and thought you were claiming the opposite. Carry on!

Hey @nutomic, so I ended up creating a pixelfed account after looking at what all if this is about and posting there… Since it does both videos and photos and also I got in immediately but still waiting for a peertube account to be approved.

Anyway so I direct linked the MP4 over on !cattrain@lemmy.ml and there is no preview or indication it’s a video. Is there a better way to link them for user engagement? The images show up just fine

I love libby
