How many of you understand that you can be on lemmy without bringing reddit here?

Every day I see another post on lemmy about how awful reddit is. As someone who migrated during the API fiasco, I don’t know why people want to bring the grifting here. Who cares of reddit banned you for promoting lemmy? Who cares about reddits constant enshittification? None of us are on reddit anymore for those exact reasons, stop bringing their simple-minded dipshittery here. We left to be done with reddit, not to watch the fire from our balconies.

What’s a reddit?

small frog community

The place where gamergate got its roots.

Is this post doing exactly what it’s complaining about?

It’s a Reddit tradition!

jaybone ,

It’s a festiverse for the rest of urs!

I was here initially because of the api bullshit, but now I just live here. Still hoping for the factorio community to grow a bit, but life’s pretty good and for the most part people are pretty polite. It’s a nice change of pace.

thezeesystem ,

The Factory must grow. Thanks for reminding me to join the community on here.

We’re on the internet. All social media websites talk about eachother, it’s just how things go. Until Reddit goes the way of MySpace people won’t stop talking about it.

KingJalopy ,

OMG can we please stop talking about Myspace??? I didn’t come here to constantly be reminded of that place…

What I can’t figure out is why when viewing Lemmy by All -> New, there are bots (I think) creating many posts daily with links to back to reddit. It’s in many different instances I set these being created.

That’s because there are bots doing that, and they were designed specifically to bring parts of reddit to lemmy, without having to directly interface with reddit’s site, app, or issues

The key is you block the bots, usually. The lemmit bot only posts to the lemmit instance (afaik), so you can also just filter/block the instance itself in that case.

Once the bots are blocked, you usually end up with no reddit reposts because there aren’t that many of the bots, but they post relatively broadly.

Stoneykins ,

You wanted to say “You can be on lemmy without bringing reddit here.” And phrased it as a bad question so you could post it here. You just want to soapbox.

Managing the content of your own feed is your responsibility. If people post off topic in communities, handle it with a report, not another post.

Bluntly, you are creating what you are complaining about. This thread is the most discussion about reddit I’ve seen in a week or more.

MrScottyTay ,

Yeah I’ve not seen anything to do with Reddit on here for at least a month till this

bstix ,

Nobody in my feed mentioned reddit until you did.

When filtering by “all”, I usually come across post from c/reddit or whatever it’s called because it is a popular community, but I don’t see any mentions of reddit in most other communities unless it’s relevant.

fruitycoder ,

My experience as well lol, but I also searched through communities and aggressively subscribed to anything remotely related to my interests so my feeds pretty good!

Lightor ,

It feels like a lot of people moved to lemmy just for the moral superiority.

Sheeple ,
@Sheeple@lemmy.world avatar

People move to reddit for moral superiority, sir.

Over here it’s much more difficult to posture yourself due to lack of Karma systems and similar

otter ,

I usually see those posts on Reddit/general fediverse specific communities. The fediverse means we can follow and talk about the topics we want, and ignore (or block) the stuff we don’t.

If there’s content that you don’t want to see somewhere, you could try and tighten up the rules there

bobs_monkey ,

If there’s content that you don’t want to see somewhere, you could try and tighten up the rules there

Or just ignore it. All posts like these do is stir the pot and promote discontent while riling people up, just like on reddit.

Well there’s your problem.

Hrm, I dunno, why are you on the communities that are about reddit if you don’t want to see posts about reddit?

And mind you obviously some want to discuss reddit here. Hence they got communities.

LemmyIsFantastic ,

No they can’t. Reddit is their spurned ex girlfriend they are going to stalk through out college.

X too.
