Oh yes we do, we want the community here to be like it was in Reddit before the meddling of that greedy, right-wing asshole-in-charge allowed maga to flourish there, and before he fully and officially enshittified the interface.
It was always naive to think Lemmy was somehow immune from the bullshit of Reddit culture. It may be immune from a centralized authority that can ruin all instances, but in terms of the culture, it is the same. Whoever thinks differently is just drinking massive amounts of copium solution.
This exactly. The reason people left reddit is because of the actions of the people running the site, not the user base or culture.
I guess the difference here is that there isn’t a defined group of people running the side
- admins have some power, but users can switch instances in 2 clicks
- devs have some power, but other compatible platforms exist (https://joinmbin.org/ and https://piefed.social/ for people reading this)
- mods have some power, but modlogs are public, and people will create other communities after powertrips
Shit Facebook uncle take.
Seriously? The communities here mirror the subreddits back there.
The flaw in this logic: We had memes over on reddit. Why are you posting memes here? If you want to post memes, you should go back to reddit.
Yeah, also Reddit used to be good. So why not make it “like there”, but just 7-10 years ago
We had comments there too, maybe try an interpretive dance to spice things up?
Good luck convincing them when there’s already upvotes, downvotes, posts, and sub-communities!
Maybe educate them on instances and how they affect what you see and post.
I thought this one was about immigrants. In Europe specifically. I’m spending too much time on politics lemmy
same, I thought this was about the riots at first.
I wish I was
Where I was
When I was wishing
I was here
Ok, but there like it used to be was better than there is now, and if here could be like there used to be now it would be better than there is now and its my opinion that if here now was like there then it would be slightly better than here is now and I don’t think thats too much to wish for.
Most people who do this are looking for a middle ground, somewhere between here and there. Sadly, going somewhere new and tearing it down is easier than staying somewhere and building it up.

I don’t see how this is sad. If you dislike an aspect of Lemmy, there are many options available: Change instances, host your own instance, contribute to the source code, try out Mbin, piefed, sublinks, etc. If you dislike an aspect of Reddit, tough luck.
Welcome home! Digg and Reddit had their times.
So you don’t like immigration?
