Reddit will lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says
-
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.
-
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.
-
hi, im one of those new users. Have a beautiful day friend.
-
I am now on my third attempt let's see if this one sticks
-
I don't really get it why would people want to post to a sub that hardly anyone can see and likely you won't get any good amount of karma.
likely I'm missing something but yeah I wouldn't pay to see a sub I'd just look for a free one which likely already exists.
-
That's one sure way to kill the platform
-
At least you got banned. Last time I tried to return in 2024, I was _shadow_banned. Zero indication that none of my comments were showing up until I saw the page logged out...
