It begins…

Found out via this post

Interesting side-note, reddit’s anti-VPN policies and blocking some archivers like ghostarchive.

    Remember when Reddit said they wouldn’t touch old.reddit?

    People understand they can just leave that site, right?

      I wish more people would leave and bring their niches over here. There’s still so many things missing on Lemmy.

        I feel you. Really miss 40klore and an endless stream of bunny pictures. The only two things I miss on Lemmy. Everything else I care about arrived or is arriving.

          I think the frustrating part is that if those people just moved over to Lemmy, nothing would change about the communities. Lemmy today is robust enough to handle these communities. It’s just a matter of getting a community to switch servers.

        I have so many posts to share, questions to ask, and things to do…but Lemmy is not as robust with users. And I refuse to participate on reddit. I need an /c/ xbox360hacks.

          I got answers and engagement from communities that seemed dead on Lemmy due to lack of users. You should just try to ask your questions… One answer that truly helps is already enough usually, you don’t actually need 100 users upvoting the same answer or 12 different answers where only 1 is good. For many things, low engagement is already sufficient.

          Every tv show I watch I have to go to Reddit to view the conversation. And bite my tongue cause I refuse to log in and give content.

          Same with watching the political debates. That was my preferred method of conversation.

        It is near impossible to start a new community. The Lemmy code primarily favors existing large communities, and it needs to change to heavily promote new communities over existing.
