  • What's changed in lemmy and the fediverse in the past 3 months?

  • That's what i thought you meant. Thanks!

    in my case, the diaspora didn't change me so much as it displaced me.

    Now I'm here and there. Much like Twitter and Masto where i do more content viewing on the legacy site where there's more content, but more posting on the FOSS alternative because of ideological imperative to see it grow even if its content doesn't serve me (yet?)

  • Actually, I'm kind of curious:

    What do you mean "because of the nature of the reddit migration?"

  • What do you mean by "actively surpressing a community?"

    Do you have any articles on the origin of Reddit? It came out of Digg, right?

  • Yeah i hear you. Reddit was white on average but Lemmy/Kbin feels like baby powder on top of fresh snow

  • Are there people discussing comics or pro wrestling on here with any frequency?

  • I think this sort of unfulfilled promise has been the biggest obstacle of my full scale adoption of a reddit alternatives.

    As a non-typical Lemmy user (No interest in privacy, piracy, Linux, FOSS, Web Dev, SW Dev, Veganism, or discussing political theory with strangers online) finding active communities in topics i am interested in (basketball, football, hip hop and rap, martial arts, boxing, mma, PC building, relationships, kink, and the specific humor and nuance that comes with being a Black person on the internet) has been a struggle.

    Many of those communities have two people or less posting in them or don't exist at all.

    People are talking here but not about things i wanna discuss and that's disappointing so i have a hard time "sticking" if that makes sense

  • Vibe check: What are your impressions and experiences of Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, and Beehaw?

    Jump

  • Yeah, i think that's a very helpful distinction. Something like Beehaw or Hexbear is defined more by its rules than its software.

    I added Bee as a fourth item because people described it as a separate item/entity/community/experience than the others. Its limited federation somewhat corroberates this sentiment IMO.

  • Lol I woke up to 2 deleted comments, some vitriol directed at their writer, and your comment here.

    What happened?

    Jump

  • Yeah! I remember reading that Beehaw had defederated from a lot of servers; the people who talk about it genuinely have strong feelings one way or the other. It sounds like a planned housing community or gated community but online, and that generates some very polarizing opinions.

    It's also the one I have the least interest in exploring at the moment.

    Edit: Tied with Hexbear

    Jump

  • Yeah! I heard that MBin was started as a fork of Kbin when it's main/only admin went dark. I made an account there to try it out actually.

    I'm now considering making a new Lemmy account since I'm having trouble finding Lemmy communities from Mbin

  • Thanks!

    That Mastodon opinion is fascinating to me. Mastodon is the one i know he best by far, which is why i left it out.

    Mastodon might function similarly, but as a user the community feels nothing like Twitter, for better and for worse, and its users and devs seem proud of that.

    I also notice a strong communist/anarchist presence.

    IMO Mastodon's flaws are from trying to hard to not be Twitter the 2nd, not from being too similar to Twitter.
