Reddit will lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says

This post did not contain any content.
Get ready for the influx of new users

Prediction: This change comes to life, people make an uproar about this. Then they forget this in a few days and continue using reddit.
This same old keeps happening with reddit, Twitter/X, etc.
Hopefully we do receive some refugees to Lemmy!

Hi!
For Lemmy usage my preferred approach is always sorting by all and blocking communities (and instances) I don't want to see instead of subscribing to the ones I do want to see. This way you get more content and dont miss new sublemmies!

This is the reason. I can get all the Linux discussion I want on Lemmy, but discussions about an Acura RSX? That community is on reddit.
There is zero car talk on Lemmy and it fucking sucks ass.

You're welcome. Spread the word of the fediverse, may one day Lemmy be bigger than Reddit, Pixelfed bigger than Instagram, Mastodon bigger than Twitter, ...

There are definitely high-IQ car guys and they are soul of car forums/reddits. But based on my observation of the diagnostic and critical thinking skills of the other 90%, they are probably never going to figure out how to use Lemmy.
And somehow we need both types (maybe for sample size?) in order to have a thriving niche community about anything.

I was so happy when I found lemmy. A great alternative to reddit with a small and kind community. I hope it doesn't turn into the cancer that is reddit.
I joined reddit in 2013. It was great until it wasn't

Well that's just not true....
We talk about how much better the world would be without cars. That qualifies as car talk, right?

Well Reddit wouldn't be the juggernaut it is now if Digg hadn't done similarly stupid things and paid the ultimate price. Social media sites do fall, and Lemmy grows a little every time this happens. I honestly don't care. I like Lemmy how it is now.

I blame the 5 mods who control the top 200 subs. I still think posting was better years ago. Could actually post comments.

niche communities that don’t exist on lemmy.
Use RSS to read them.

Correct. Less engagement for them, still can get your fix of reading specific things. A read only option to lurk is better than missing everything.

Tbf, for me, that's more of a forum territory. I wasn't even using the subreddit for Aprilia motorcycles, but been on Apriliaforum for years

I suppose, but anything I'd consider a niche community probably has worthwhile discussions, questions, answers, etc. They aren't read-only.
