I’m the opposite, love overmicrowaves spaghetti, mac n cheese, noodles, etc.

If you can find the original post try to crosspost it so ppl can see the original thread and get context

Been telling ppl they have a better chance of eventually blowing up on Funkwhale and then making money off their fans in the future than they do organically any other way now. Im delusional about the fediverse tho.

I only thought it would be an issue my first week of Lemmy, using it for a month now I really like the smaller community.

Think it was changed to include upvotes/downvotes. Could be wrong, saw it on a similar thread.

Like, they’ll answer everything but your question, tell you how you’re wrong and should do something else entirely, here they read your question all the way and actually answer it

You know how on reddit people comment to tell you to google, argue, etc. Here they just answer the question or move on, it’s wonderful.

Suprisingly better for actual conversation, reddit would be like screaming into a void sometimes, any topic you’re interested in if it doesn’t already have a community, make one from a popular general purpose instance and start posting, people will reply and see it, and it’ll potentially hit the front page equivalent letting more eyes see it. Reddit was no longer showing me interesting niches, I had to already know about it to find a sub and get it on my feed, so many interesting subs I only learned about because I got into the hobby outside of reddit have more potential to be visible on the main feed here. Reddit algorithm right now is a roller coaster, this feels more like reading a newsletter, old reddit.

If you want to be unique start using friendica lmao

Every negative change came with some good, like oh they banned some free speech but they also got rid of jailbait/creepshots so good? Except one of those should.ve never been there for so long and on the front page in the first place. It’s like they sneak in the terrible decisions they want to make with the obvious ones that should’ve been made long ago.

I always thought Reddit was an exception and I wouldve drode it forever if they didn’t auto perm ban me “ban evasion,” and deny my appeals. I just believed there was no other option and had been arguing there for 15 years and didn’t want to leave lol. Sure like 25% of my comments and 50% of my posts would get removed for not following some arbitrary rules perfectly, but it just felt like the tradeoff of a big forum. (At least here when mods only can post it’s clear, on reddit you could drop a post for a game release and get it removed so a mod can post it)

Gotta start making them and posting just to get the ball rolling a little, you can always turn over moderating if someone wants it. I need to take my own advice when I’m bored.

No history is gone, all your posts and comments stay up lol, you have to manually edit them or use a third party service, too late now. They still have any helpful info you gave.

(This was when facebook contacts would/could get added to yahoo contacts or whatever? IDK I had 100s of emails in there)

This and some browsing of the public Facebook account will get you into most people’s accounts with minimal effort, social engineering is wild and made me lose interest in being a hacker growing up because it was too easy and made me uncomfortable. (I wanted to be mr robot so bad, I was delusional lol)

the @instance helps remember names, id just ignore names in reddit, adds or detracts credibility

like the recent video app, its just tapping into blueskys existing centralized feed, I dont like how bluesky pretends to be federated down to letting you use your own domain

Its just a blueksy frontend with just pics I thought? Is the at protocol not open?

nft bros had me convinced this was only possible through the blockchain
