  • lol dude this is flat out wrong. Being able to ask active communitites things is useful to a lot of people. Have you ever even heard of IRC???

    What do you think happened before google had everything indexed?

    It’s useful to chat it out with people sometimes especially when you are all collectively centered around a single topic.

    I’ve learned mass amounts of things through IRC and often times they don’t just give you the answer they give you clues to help you figure it out.

    Discord will be similar for many people. It’s not necessary to archive every last bit of information. It’s OK to talk to real people who enjoy talking about said topic and letting them guide you real time.


  • I think it’s an early day sorta problem you are looking at. From the reddit point of view. r/technology just sorta became the default, but there are other tech news subs for sure.

    Early reddit there were probably 100s of them and then everyone just found /r/technology and that’s where you can get the most engagement.

    I do think lemmy will need a way to create your own multi-community subs. So you can quickly click on your “tech” tree and see all the tech subs you’ve subscribed to.

    behaw defederating though could cause issues, but I’d think over time that’ll sort itself out as well.

    End of the day people will settle into communities and eventually there will probably be a main tech place and that’ll just be where you go. Just going to take some time for people to sort through it.

    There are a lot of people on reddit that just post for karma or w/e reasons so we definitely have less content because we have less bots. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not… I’d also imagin eventually we’ll have plenty of bots.


  • This is so stupid. If we are going to regulate social media companies it needs to be done at the national level. I’d say their age should be voluntary and if it’s a minor then yeah the algorithms should be cognizant of that. But that needs to be a national bill.

    I do hope that these social media companies respond by just shutting down in these states. Even as someone who is unfortunate enough to live in Texas.

    Hopefully they use their ridiculous amount of power to show Texas legislators who is actually in charge.



  • Same as the title for me but different than your thing. Just feels stale over there and I go into comments and it’s the same ol drivel over and over again lol. This community feels fresh and I’m really enjoying exploring the various communities and chatting casually about whatever…

    Feels just very corporate place over there and I dunno. Just not feeling right anymore. I’m thinking maybe it’s been wrong all along I just didn’t realize. Hopefully lemmy’s growth continues but at a reasonable pace so that we don’t devolve in the same sorta rhetoric over and over again.

    I definitely feel better over here now and while there are way less comments it really seems like the engagements are far better.

    Maybe that’s what it is. By the time I look at a post over on reddit there are 1000s of comments and half of them just saying the same thing lol.

    At least here you can contribute



  • i like it and can totally abandon reddit for it assuming people continue to show up and like all my tiny little niche communities pop up. I do feel like it’s a bit confusing at first as far as finding communities and connecting to them all so some work there would probably go a long way.

    basically when there is a community for stock tank pools specifically and has 2,000 subscribers we’re in the money lol
