Trash gang unite!

That's is a good effort

Why is beehaw going it's own way? I mean I kinda understand that lemmygrad might have a different world view, but why the rest?

The trash will still escape Reddit. As evidenced by my being here :)

Ahh didn't even know that existed. Smashing it now. Thanks!

This is the issue.

We’ve known for over a decade that people come to Reddit to talk about the products they love – take r/BuyItForLife for example, a community of over 1.5 million redditors who have been sharing recommendations and advice about their lifelong, must-have purchases since 2011. These updates will uplevel the search-and-discover experience for both brands and our users by tapping into our differentiated value as a hub for actionable conversation

So they are now going to make it so corporate shills can dilute the quality of their content with a whole lotta shit

Even is Lemmy isn't right, why not have a look around and see if you can replace Reddit with something else, even if it's a mix of stuff.

This is the beginning of the enshittification of Reddit - it's no longer about providing a good user experience, it's about providing a good corporate experience. This means that the content will get worse and worse , and less and less relevant. Stage 3 is where Reddit fucks over the advertisers and starts making bank, and shortly after that with no users and no corporate support it starts to implode..

And then you will need to move off the platform.

Or - you could move off now. Lemmy is ok, the best for chatting. I've been using Imgur for memes but miss NSFW content, and Lemmy is also very NSFW unfriendly. So for me right now it's a bit of a mix.

I'm working on my own content aggregator with the features of Reddit, but in the end it's just for me if nobody gives a damn and that's ok

NSFW looks like it's going away / heavily restricted starting July 5th

So far I've moved to Imgur for my doom scrolling, Lemmy for some basic chat, my local news app for the news and kaotic.com if I need a dose of reality. For nice interest groups there is Facebook, but it's not as good. Haven't searched hard for that yet

So far that seems to have largely replaced Reddit.

I got into a convo on Imgur with someone who was just going to go back after the blackout and I was like "nah this is your chance. It's also the moment that Reddit falls apart" they were like nah yeah nah. This post right here proves I was right.

Anyway, it's a lot of work visiting all these sources so I think I might just make my own personal link aggregator

Choice is probably the solution here.

Nah people will find it. Right now it should be just about growth and then let it specialise from there

We could just get all new users to sign up to lemmygrad

I'm getting the following error reading this post: "item at index 2 does not exist"

Should I post this on stack overflow or some other Lemmy help community?

After trying jerboa I ended up going this route. I keep getting server errors using the pwa though not sure if lemmy.ml just can't handle the traffic or I'm doing something wrong

Agree on the pick a server ... And then approval!

I had almost forgotten about it but I'm glad I came back.

I think maybe the ability to just join a generic starting point and then port your account when you find where you want to be might be a better model, but that will remain to be seen

That was my first thought as well but again I don't use it

Sorry I misread your comment and thought you were claiming the opposite. Carry on!

Hey @nutomic, so I ended up creating a pixelfed account after looking at what all if this is about and posting there... Since it does both videos and photos and also I got in immediately but still waiting for a peertube account to be approved.

Anyway so I direct linked the MP4 over on !cattrain@lemmy.ml and there is no preview or indication it's a video. Is there a better way to link them for user engagement? The images show up just fine

I love libby

!cattrain@lemmy.ml

Agree. It looks like peertube is all integrated though, so it should be able to be built in from what I can see.

Anyway welcome to cat train! While I work out the hosting I'll keep posting content. I have a surprising about of cat train related stuff

I'm surprised to find there are no adult subs popping up.

I hit up my brother in law who is involved in the adult industry and he is going to spin up an instance that's super ok with adult content in the next day or so.

Let's face it, without porn tumbler disappeared, and I think Reddit will too when it bans anything nsfw

Isn't communism a left wing ideology?

Never heard of peertube, wait here, I'm going in

Are you talking about one of these?

We gave one of them to my cat loving sister in law and the removed gave it away to a friend. Like, if you didn't want it I would have taken it. I'm still salty if you can't tell

Well I just subbed to !uncle_bens@lemmy.ml and read your posts. I haven't got much to add yet as I'm currently doing my second attempt as the first one needed to be aborted early. Fingers crossed and I'll add some stuff there if I have anything

Do you think that's going to happen here? The community makes the platform but I used to like Reddit back in the wild west days before everything was so censored. It was up to me if I wanted to consume some content - and while I largely chose to avoid certain things, I felt like it was my choice. A great example was the r/toosoon sub that got banned for it's morbid humor when some celebrity died. Sure it was in bad taste but that doesn't mean it shouldn't exist

I'm now typing this to you from jerboa!

I'll give it a go. I know I can make an icon to the web browser shortcut on my home screen but the less friction I have to replacing boost the more i will use it

Yes. Quite literally. Microsoft bought exclusive rights to chatgpt (I think just 3) and they use it for "New Bing" and Copilot for coding help.

It's actually really good, though I still use duckduckgo for search probably out of habit

No seriously you can't just drop that and not elaborate. What on earth are you using for search locally?

I always felt like gimp is hot garbage and Inkscape is clunky and in desperate need of an overhaul. Totally second blender and krita though

Oh that one will be really helpful, thanks

What happened to voat?
