cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/863026

With apps like Mlem on iOS, we are getting very close to an Apollo+Reddit experience. How can Reddit successfully monetize what are basically just forums? What makes it special anymore ?

Why are we copying over so much Reddit content?

I think it’s great that so many people want to build and grow Lemmy, but why are we doing it by copying over Reddit content? It didn’t seem as bad when it was funny pics or memes or whatever, but now I’m seeing discussion threads, which doesn’t make sense to me....

Uhhhh, What the fuck is happening at /mildlyinteresting??? (old.reddit.com)

Tried to submit this post but it gets filtered by the automod so posting here for now....

Every time spez speaks, I want to interact less and less with reddit

I was actually somewhat ok with going back to certain Reddit communities (although NOT just mindless scrolling) after the blackout. There’s a lot of communities where (I thought) there’s literally no alternatives....

thank god lemmy doesn't have karma

Are these redditors on lemmy?

I’m looking for rusticgorilla specifically, but would love to find poemforyoursprog as well....

One 3rd party app may survive (www.theverge.com)

Verge interviewed the maker of Relay for Reddit and says he might survive on a subscription only model of $2-3 USD per month. Lots of limitations inherent in that, but maybe....

If you use Reddit during the blackout, upvote everything from r/Ukraine to get them max visibility

let’s do some good. Upvote everything from r/Ukraine so hopefully the front page is covered with Ukraine posts!

You'd probably get more redditors to migrate if there was an old reddit type style

Apparently Lemmy copied the new reddit layout which shoves everything into the middle of the screen and wastes a massive amount of space. Even on the monitor I oriented vertically this is the case: the post I’m typing right now is using like 30% of the available screen real-estate and wasting the other 2/3rds....

Marketers are about to infiltrate your favorite subreddits. (www.theverge.com)

Ahead of its IPO, Reddit announced a set of tools for businesses that want to be more active on the platform — including the ability to see which subreddits are mentioning a brand. For businesses, Reddit says it’s a way to “establish and grow a meaningful organic presence on Reddit.” In other words: the brands are...

Reddit is gatekeeping NSFW content on mobile, trying to force their app (sh.itjust.works)

I tried visiting r/pics (which was recently marked NSFW in a protest of malicious compliance) and was blocked by this message. Sorry if it’s already been posted- I can’t figure out search too well.

Now for Reddit and Nara to continue with subscription model (www.reddit.com)

Now For Reddit is going to go to a subscription service. It’s not that popular but it’s the one I like. I’ve not decided yet if I’m going to keep using it and pay for a subscription - it depends on how much per month it costs, for me the lack of NSFW isn’t a deal breaker but Reddit’s slimy behavior recently kind of...
