    Funny how they don’t even pretend there’s any logic to it. If you can view it in the app, then the content has been reviewed after all…? Clearly just a way to enforce app usage.

    We’re expecting a giant influx of users when the popular workaround, old.reddit.com (perhaps with RES to make it less outdated), inevitably gets shut down. Please try to make Lemmy a worthwile space in the meantime so that they stay!

        Don’t forget the Rule 34 manga and rhetoric of not sexualising anything. Also the college kid Marxists… and Linux cults… And figuring out liberalism and “American liberals” are polar opposites. Basically avoid .ml And obviously don’t let anyone know your skin colour, gender, or sexual preferences if they’re vanilla. And support all war that’s against Russia. I think that’s it- Oh, and don’t reply to the same person more than twice in a thread.

        Apart from that, they’ll feel right at home.

        Ah, yeah, and obv use Thunder.

                I’ve used both and have been daily driving Voyager for months, I’d say they’re both great to the point it’s a matter of taste. May as well give it a go if you’re curious!

                For Lemmy apps, it’s best to try a few for a week or so each—theres a few good’nes—and you land on the one you like. I was just plugging Thunder because it’s sort of like the Linux of Lemmy apps. All the cool underground kids froth on it and those that don’t use it couldn’t give a fuck, because they don’t know any better, man!

      I joined lemmy just over a year ago when reddit killed its API. I hoped that my favorite subreddit would come here too but it didn’t so I wandered back to reddit. I was clinging to old.reddit.com and would probably have stayed around for as long as that lasted. But recently they began requiring email addresses. That was too much and here I am.

        Can I ask which subreddit or is it private? I know which communities I miss but I’m curious what communities we need to cultivate for others.

            How are you seeing that an email is required? Is it when you try to post something? My account is banned so I just us it to lurk but I can still log in.

              My account is banned. I can still log in and lurk, but not post, upvote, etc. And, as I already said: When I log in to the main site, it says “account permanently banned”. When I log in to old reddit, it says “provide an email to reactivate your account”.

      And please actively remind people to remain civil. We can be better than Reddit in so many ways. I believe!

        I think Lemmy is and will be quite good at remaining civil because the questionable content makers use their own instances and get defederated. The most edgy community federated with the main cluster I found is [email protected]. It features cryptic posts that presumably make sense if you engage in the decentralized (IRC? Telnet??) discourse channels of sdf.org and some appear to be pro-fascist depending on how you interpret the questionable veil of sarcasm. I don’t think it’s serious enough to consider defederation because the worst ones get massively downvoted anyway.

          They’re not just staying on those instances tho…

          When they get defederated (usually long before) they find a small boutique instance (that’s actually valid) but didn’t bother to set up any requirements for account creation then make a shit ton of accounts to troll with.

          If you ever look at the main modlog you’ll see there’s a significant amount getting banned on a daily basis.

          But they just go make another, and even tho most instances are doing something about it, there’s a surprising amount of zombie instances no one will ever change but are still running for some reason and federated with large instances.

          Eventually the main ones will need to “prune” a lot of instances, which shouldn’t be surprising considering a year ago everyone wanted to federate with everyone.

          Imagine just walking thru a city and inviting literally everyone to come hang out at your apartment, even giving them the door code to get I to your building. That’s kind of what happened.

        Yes. However, we need to solve the chicken-and-egg problem of niche communities. For example, there is no Czech community at all after both the czech-lemmy.eu and kyberpunk.social instances went down. It’s only once the communities get going and start appearing in “All/Active” feeds that I’d worry about serious moderation.

          It’s a tough position to be in for non-English and regional communities. For something like a game you can cross post in both a general videogames community and a more specific one and help people find it, but there’s not much of an option for any sort of non-English non-pop culture topic.

    I hate the fact that reddit has so much valuable data in it, like thousands of extremely niche subreddits and answers to your questions.

    I wish someone could just mirror it all

    I cannot stress this enough: if you just want to browse reddit without interacting with anyone and supporting their greedy, stupid bullshit, I highly recommend RDX.

    If you absolutely have to read something from reddit and it throws this, just switch to the desktop site instead of mobile.

        And whenever they want to drop a site-wide ban for any reason, it’s easier to punish the whole device instead of fixing issues or pretending that most of the ad viewership doesn’t consist of bots.
