Reddit will lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says
-
Yup, and the trend just continues.
-
I wonder if that's what all the banned subs thing was about. Maybe "some content" = NSFW subs
-
niche communities that don’t exist on lemmy.
-
i’m guessing older posts, maybe 6+ months.
-
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.
-
Yeah... I also miss doom-scrolling unixporn and ergomechkeyboards in here.
-
I moved here and took a break from Reddit for a year after the whole API thing.
Recently been dipping my toe back in the water, lurking only.
It is noticeable that a lot of posts are obviously bot accounts trying to spur debate on contentious topics. And in general, it’s a sad echo of the community it used to be.
On the other hand, there are some communities there that are still pretty active and interesting just based on the sheer volume of people that still use Reddit. So it still has a place in my life… Kinda.
Only expect to get worse over time, it’s like a slow decline of a friendship
-
So if the accepted solution is behind a paywall, the question gets asked (and answered) over and over again. It's an insidious way to generate infinite content.
-
Really? Everything else was fine bit this is a bridge too far?
-
The site has become utterly useless. I got banned for god knows what, they don’t actually tell you. But just disagreeing with someone else and they report you and you’re auto banned without question.
I tried opening new accounts and every single one would be banned for evasion. I guess they track ip?
In any case the users have become x10 more toxic and the site itself is trash -
There are some pretty basic communities that are non existent or dead on Lemmy and I hate it
-
Get ready for the influx of new users
-
I’m one. Hello all.

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!
-
There is zero car talk on Lemmy and it fucking sucks ass.
-
Appreciate the advice!
-
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?
