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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

We’ve reached peak irony.

I’m going to be real with you. I use Voyager which looks like Apollo to me, so half the time I don’t realize I’m not on reddit. And frankly, I don’t care. I didn’t come here to avoid reddit content. I came here to avoid reddit client and company. If the content or conversation is interesting, I don’t give 2 craps where it’s from.

I was never on Reddit, but I was a Twitter refugee who moved to Mastodon. In the beginning almost everything was about how terrible Elon Musk was and what dumb shit was going on over there. Now there’s a lot less. Perhaps the same thing will happen with Lemmy as well.

jaybone ,

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!

crazyminner ,

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…

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.

mateomaui ,

Keyword filters are a thing

SeedyOne ,

I don’t mind it at all. Let people vent and release from their old addiction. It’s happened for every migration going back to AOL.

If anything, WE can control what we see and if you’re in areas that constantly have reddit complaints maybe it’s time to curate that subscription list a bit better. Or use a Lemmy app that filters by keyword. You have the power.

phorq ,

I just have no interest in reddit anymore, I always hated the UI and now that there aren’t any third party apps I don’t want to use it. If I see a technical answer in a search sure I’ll use it, but it’s whatever. If reddit wanted to charge on a per user basis to use the API I would have understood because companies need to make money and I wasn’t seeing ads, but they chose the stupidest approach to becoming more profitable.

LemmyIsFantastic ,

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

X too.

Pheonixdeath ,

Word. Its getting old fast. I just want to find Reddits replacement, a place for current and less accessable news and random funny nonsense. Not read post after post about how reddits failing or not failing. I dont care. I left.

I hope Lemmy becomes more like it, not its antagonist.
