There are already some communities with the same tooic, but without much interaction, so I was mainly refering to joining existing ones.

However, even if that happens, one can simply go ahead and create a new community with normal mod behavior.

That fragmentation annoyed me too at the beginning, until somenoe tokd me something along the lines.

"It's like different reddit subs with each hsving their own mods and rules"...

So /c/gaming on instance A, and /c/gaming on instance B, would be like /r/gaming and /r/gamingfornoobs.

That is what I already do. But I feel like there isn't much going on. Tbh, I'm more of a passive than active participant. Never been a "karma whore".

I mostly scroll through the feed and chime into topics where I feel I can contribute to.

But wouldn't advertising one instance backfire and lead to huge server loads on that instance?

Reddit took the time to get these communities going...

Sure! But, in this case Lemmy is literally a federated copypasta of Reddit, like Madtodon is of X.

Therefore, I think Lemmy is already a few steps ahead, due to the existing familiarity how communities/subs are supposed to be used.

So it's not we're starting from scratch... It's just getting rid of the annoyances of Reddit.

Take Mastodon/BlueSky as an example. People are already familiar withbthe concept of how to use it.

 

I'm just sick of Reddit.

The communities there seem much more active than the once on lemmy, which is not a surprise.

However, I oftentimes find myself doom scrolling through reddit, just because of some nonsense BS propaganda, ads, etc .., snuck inbetween of the community posts I'm actually interested in.

How can we convince the people over there to move away?

Lol... It is indeed common knowledge... I was just joking.

Using Teams as a freelancer with multiple clients who roll their own user management is a PITA.

I had to sign into multiple browsers in private mode

Thank you! Finally someone has the guts to say this publicly

I doubt it ever scraped SO, otherwise all the answers would be smth along the lines: "I cannot answer this question due to low quality effort!" closes browser window

How is mbin holding up? I was on kbin at the very beginning, and the project seems to be dead now.

[–] ad_on_is@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

great... now I can watch a 10 minute long video on how to fix something, just to find out that it's utter garbage (bc of missing dislike) AND uploaded 10 years ago. Great!
