    Can someone make a version of this saying lemmy has no adds. I think that honestly is the best selling point for reddit users at this point.

      Here you are.

      Btw, the source file (SVG) is available on my Git repo on Codeberg ;)

        Thanks for making this, and especially using an excellent design in a shareable meme format that pitches Lemmy simply to users.

        One day we may need to have ads to pay the bills if we have another massive Reddit exodus. What are your thoughts on creating an alternate one that says something like “your data not tracked or sold”?

          Thx.

          I’m hostile to ads, fully and openly and I’d rather pay than be forced to look at ads. But that’s just my personal opinion and I would not want to impose it on anyone. At least, I think that’s also what freedom should mean: the freedom for anyone to disagree with me and me with anyone ;)

          The first version of the file had no mention of ads (I simply deleted it by mistake ;) and you can get the SVG here.

          Tout le plaisir est pour moi.
          You’re welcome. Even more so than you are perfectly right! Lemmy being ad-free is so f. good. While I was making that silly image, in a hurry in the middle of another job, I had a line about ads (I hate ads) but somehow managed to delete it :/

      Im brand new here and digging it. The lack of ads is a big part of that. That and the chiller vibe. I do wish it had gifs/videos. Not just images & text

      Reddit users will tell you they used their revanced version of their old client and there are no apps

      Never understood this point. There’s no way you can move your account (including full history) to another instance, right?

        The main point is being able to still access all of the communities if your admin goes rogue (similar to what Reddit is doing). That’s possible on Lemmy, you export / import your settings and you’re set.

        Keep the same username, add a link to your new and old profiles and the bio, and you just moved instances. You may have lost your comments history, but there is no karma anyway, so why care? And it’s still accessible on your old account.

      You’re welcome.

      Note that I just updated it to answer guaraguaito’s remark regarding Lemmy being ad-free. Also, the SVG file is available for anyone to play with (it’s SVG file, made with Inkscape, using the DejaVu Serif font)

      I prefer it over anything that looks too slick, because then it feels like a corporation made it

    I found a lot of good things on Lemmy… But, I can never go ‘full-Lemmy’, because I hate the politics crap.

        Thank you! This is what I need. I prefer to block based on words rather than blocking the whole instance thing. :)

      We honestly need more normies to balance it out a bit, that’s for sure.

      what do you actually mean when you say you hate politics? you hate having to think about how things suck? or you hate having to watch marginalized people fight for their rights?

        I’m assuming they mean they want an experience that isn’t dominated by politics. Which I totally understand and I agree with. It would be great if there were lots of active communities that were around hobbies and interesting and fun casual things. I guess that can only be achieved by reaching a certain scale though.

    We maybe should downplay the ‘no ads’ thing. I can definitely see a day when ads are required to support some sites.

    I like that we’ll have a choice on that day, but I do see that day.

      Here’s a version without the ad

      Ironically, it got added because someone in the comments wanted it

      I agree. I think it’d be better to change that part to something like “your data not sold or tracked”.

        I think trying to go down that road could be a bad path, because it definitely could be. In a lot of ways, Lemmy is kind of the opposite of all those privacy first deals.

      no, you can always make your own instance without ads, there will always be many without them
