No, jerboa isn’t filtering anything. They mean they don’t have access to some beehaw communities because beehaw isn’t federating with Lemmy.world.

I don’t know why they are saying this though considering they are in the programming.dev instance

Guardian article on the reddit drama: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/17/there-is-no-moral-high-ground-for-reddit-as-it-seeks-to-capitalise-on-user-data?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

I’m not sure how to make a link to communities so that it works for everyone sorry. But yeah the ! Does indicate a community usually

r/piracy with a message to use lemmy:

!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

The rust subreddit is apparently considering moving to Lemmy:

r/programming is private even though I think a lot of the mods were reddit employees, I think even u/spez. what is going on lol

There was talk of someone populating a Lemmy instance with reddit data.

There is a lot of reddit data on a torrent somewhere aparrently.

ahhh thank you!

@derivator@feddit.de is the creator I believe.

not sure if that is the right way to @ some so here is their profile:https://feddit.de/u/derivator)

It’s because of market conditions. Low interest -> Companies spend money and chase growth High interest -> Companies try to monetize users

Might be worth pointing people towards https://sh.itjust.works/ as they don’t have too much users yet and the admin claims to have a lot of compute at their disposal.

I don’t really think Lemmy.ml will have very good retention of new users. Because:

1. New users will mostly come from reddit or mastodon.
2. Most users of reddit and mastodon willing to leave are anti corporate, anti authoritarian, anti-war, pro human rights.
3. A lot of posts that you see on Lemmy (either from Lemmy.ml or lemmygrad) are pro-russia, pro china or anti-western to the point of being really annoying. Its not fun to talk to people without a hint of nuance.

So it is not surprising that new users will get turned off by this and leave (or move to beehaw).
