This is day one for a good chunk of us, a little bit of time as we start to fall into different communities and it’ll phase out
I agree with this. Across all Lemmy servers thousands of users are joining everyday now looking for at least a little bit of validation and conversation starters.
Eventually it will die down and people will be more interested in their specific communities.
I can relate to the seeking validation for using Lemmy 😅
You are valid 🌞
That’s like rescuing people from a shipwreck and being surprised they’re talking about the ship that sanked and not about the furnishings of the ship that saved them.
Yeah, and a lot of the discussion amounts to ‘this ship has nicer furnishings than the one that sank even if it’s a lot smaller’ as well.
Catharsis. think that’s all it is and will die down in due time.
Given some time and it’ll start to clear out. It’s still very new
It’s unavoidable right now. Reddit shooting itself in the foot is currently a hot topic. When the dust settles all the Reddit talk will eventually die down.
Right? I came here to find new communities and regrow my online presence, not to stare back and laugh at the burning pile of rubble we left behind. (Although I suppose I should stop scrolling through “All”, it’s not like I ever did that on Reddit)
I was going to say, I’ve curated my feed on Lemmy and the only times I see the Reddit stuff is from the News community (and memes). Every other community has been doing their own thing and I’m here for it.
Right. My feed is all reddit… then posts complaining about reddit posts. It never ends.
Idk on my Lemmy home page out of the top ten posts only one is about Reddit. Try joining some more communities and changing your feed under settings to “subscribed” instead of “all” or “local”. Just like how Reddit’s all/popular pages were kinda trash, you have to curate your feed a bit here too.
This is part of why Voat (pre fatpeoplehate ban turning it into a right wing shit hole) was a ghosttown. The majority of the active communities there were just complaining about different aspects of reddit instead of trying to share and discuss content.
That’s what I mean. There are !reddit@lemmy.ml and !whyileftreddit@lemmy.ml communities and a megathread on Beehaw, which should be way enough to talk about reddit, in my opinion. We should instead focus on creating content which isn’t reddit. I know it’s hard to part, and people are new, that’s why I created this thread to create awareness.
RIP voat
For anyone about to comment here, I just want to direct you to the megathread which @Gaywallet@beehaw.org has set up here in !tech for any Reddit-related discourse.
yes, please; obviously we don’t want to go too far in stiffling discussion since this is a Big Deal, but please remember we’re not trying to be Reddit (and especially not a Reddit meta hub) and that we have lots of other stuff you can talk about and contribute to on here!
I’d wager most of us are Reddit refugees, and we are upset about what Reddit became.
I think it’s inevitable to not talk about the elephant in the room. A lot of the new Fediverse users have migrated from Reddit so a lot of the discourse over the next few days might center around whatever is happening around that place. On the other hand, I do hope that other people take the time to explore and break out of their lurking behavior from Reddit.
Quick tip for those who don’t want to see any reddit discussions, just mute the word Reddit. I might do that in a bit lol
How would one mute the word Reddit? I took a look at the options in settings but didn’t find anything that appeared relevant to me. What did I miss?
As of now, I think the only way I could do it is through the iOS app Mlem. I’m not too tech savvy and heavily rely on my husband for help regarding these matters. Sorry about that ;;
Wait, we’re we not suppose to make leaving reddit our whole personality?
why are you?
ah, ye olde Beehaw switcheroo (:
