I feel like it’s not dominated by the same sort of content, but a lot of smaller communities and niche interests (at least the ones I’m interested in) have yet to develop on lemmy.
I’ve got a healthy sub list going, and am actually participating again instead of lurking. Ive got my default set to Alll-New so i come across some great things randomly.
The other day some guy posted in ancient coins a greek coin that was about the size of your pinkey nail. Much more refreshing than some rehashed tweet by some asshole.
Just shows how unimportant the company behind the interface is, they’re just letting users create all the community and content and use their IP to take all the money, but the platform itself is of little value these days, when some random dude can create the exact same thing from his attic in an afternoon.
weird mispelling of “developers and initial server admins have actual prosocial politics instead of standard tech libertarian nonsense, setting the stage for effective moderation”

Instance owners can have full control over who they federate with. From the start, the mainstream in the Fediverse has had a tolerant, open-minded and positive mindset. Over time instances that don’t follow this (e.g. by promoting hate speech) are defederated, leaving mostly decent discourse. Users that try to join instances that follows the Fediverse ethics while not belonging, and try to spread hate, get banned.
We’re still in early days but this will keep happening until the verse is wide and large, and you can choose your own little corner that aligns with what you want, whether that’s more like what we have today, or the opposite end of the spectrum, but for now we get to enjoy to still have mostly only tolerant instances, and the nasty ones are defederated into oblivion.
kind of like when back in usenet days a usenet server could choose to not include certain newsgroups, such as someone not wanting to store all the data for alt.binaries.pron.hamsters on their server or whatnot?

Yep, I’m here for good too. Reddit will never get that magic back that it once had.
There is more variety of content here IMO. I like seeing more international posts even if i dont aleays understand the language or the context.
Back there it was all ragey clickbait bot karma removed.

Wait, really? I’m having trouble finding non-English stuff even after sorting by new and subbing to non-English coms…
Yeah, really. Its pretty cool. There is a trend that it comes in batches though, like the Swiss sub with 5-6 posts, then the India, Indonesia etc…
This place is awesome. I like that I can recognize usernames in replies. It definitely feels closer than reddit.
Amen to that. Maybe 5 years here if we’re lucky and then on to blemmy.
I dunno this feels pretty reddit to me

What is this sorcery
omfg
even less reason to go back now…

I’m glad he did it because it helped push me out the door.
That was a trip. As simple as the UI is it somehow never occurred to me it could be copied.
I used their original spritesheet when I redesigned the css for r/unresolvedmysteries.
This site feels like reddit from ~2010. IE back before all the monetization and add bullshit.
Yeah I’m digging it…
I’m amazed it doesn’t feel like 4chan in 2005. Like, how is it possible that it’s not full of spam and racism? I hope it stays that way.
Shhhh they’ll hear you.
Really though, defederation is the reason why.

Can you explain why that makes a difference?

I have the urge to give you gold, but you know…
I love it. Less content = less addictive scrolling. Deleted reddit the moment lemmy finally let me make an account (on the 10th try or so).
Yeah it’s much less addictive for some reason. But the percentage of posts I am interested in is greater
Also wayyyy fewer retarded meme comments. So nice to not be slapped with the same stupid jokes over and over.
Tbh, just give it time.
Hopefully not though.
What is a 15k account?
A regular account, after a post hit r/all by pure chance
