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

another dick move from spez! I'm sure outcome would from lemmybuds joining

Welcome!

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

Use RSS to read them.
-
You can't participate through RSS.
-
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.
