And yes I understand the irony in this post
Give it time. People who are joining lemmy/kbin for the first time are incredibly interested in disussing this particular topic. I think by the end of July, we’ll truly start to see this community take shape.
This; keep in mind that Rexxit is still ongoing and there are a lot of new arrivals here. So it makes sense that the pain of departing Reddit as well as adjustment pains settling into the Fediverse will be a theme for a while. As people get used to the new way of things, I have no doubt these “meta” issues will naturally become stale.
All your posts are about Reddit. Be the change you want to see. I’ll be there to upvote it.
I just spent about hour saving photos off my cloud drive for the sole purpose of trickle contributing to the threadiverse. I want to help be the change and since there’s not u h content yet, I’ll make some!
It’s a fresh subject so people are still hyped around it. Plus it’s drama, it’s fun! I often joke that we’re watching it burn and eating popcorn.
But even if you ignore it, there’s a fair bit of activity in other communities. For example I’ve been posting somewhat often about food, linguistics, anime, manga, and stuff like this. (And even explaining what an “axion” was supposed to be, while seeing illegally smol cats in another comm.)
Mate we’re all a bunch of overly excited kids with a cool new toy, once we’re all here for a few weeks and the magic wears off these threads will die down, just give it time and let people have about their new toy
Plus, it’s topical to nearly all of us. And you’re entirely correct. This happened on Post.news when the Twitter exodus happened. By the end of next month or so well all settle in, the drama over there will be mostly over, the regular subs will have diverse content, and every thread will have someone making a joke about not pooping for three days. It’ll feel like home.
For me that is not necessarily the case. Over the last week or so, I have been using sites like Lemmy Explorer and Lemmy Community-Browser to find communities that have my interest. I have also been browsing ‘all’ using the ‘new’ sort option and have been finding many new interesting communities that way.
Stop using “All” “Hot/Active/Top” feeds and go search for actual content communities you want, by browsing the community lists, searching for your interests, or looking at new. Then just go to “Subscribed”.
You can always block the reddit-specific communities to remove them from your feed. At least temporarily, if nothing else.
Personally, I wanna hear about reddit, so I subbed to them, but I’m subbed to A LOT of other stuff too, so my feed is more than diverse enough for me.
Yup. I don’t block anything, I just stick to my subscriptions, and there’s plenty of content and discussion.
The dust just needs to settle. Imagine an actual physical migration had just occurred. Chances are people will be talking a lot about that before a new and unique culture emerges, but give it time and we’ll find our way.
So unsubscribe from these places that you don’t find interesting, and sub to things you’re interested in instead. Literally that simple.
- Search on lemmyverse.net etc
- If you’re into any kind of crafting, check out my latest posts because I’ve made a megalist of creative communities to help people navigate
- If you’re into anything gamedev related, check out the pinned post at [email protected] (Lemmy / Kbin) for another megalist of interesting stuff
Impossible. 50% of OP’s posts are about Reddit, so it doesn’t matter where they go.
Okay, I’ll call your bluff. I recently started a magazine called Old Games 4 Old Gamers. It’s got everything to do with video games and nothing to do with the Reddit implosion. If you want original content on Kbin, it’s a good place to start. (Also, I could use the hits.)
Checking it out now!
You’re doing hero’s work!
Just subbed/posted
Give it time, and be one of the people who contribute thoughtful posts on the topics you’re interested in.
Honestly, just give it time. I’ll stabilise eventually.
Yes, that’s what happened with Mastodon too
Try joining more niche communities: This stuff will be all over the general/meme comms for a while as reddit continues to melt down.
You need to subscribe to some communities/magazines and contribute on them. Reddit news is getting upvoted the most because it matters to everyone on here, whereas content related to some niche community only matters to that niche community. There are already lots of great conversations happening in the fediverse of Lemmy and Kbin, they just can’t compete with Reddit news for the front page.
Exactly. I signed up for a ton of communities and I feel like Reddit is mentioned the minority of posts and getting less and less every day. Time and branching out is the way.
It’s about subbing to anything in your wheel house and sorting by new. That’s the only way it made since before the migration and still does. At some point it wont make much sense, but not quite yet.
