sub might turn into orca only sub
For those of you out of the loop, Reddit admins took it upon themselves to remove a meme about Orca’s attacking yachts. source
Not even that…literally a screenshot of an article by The Atlantic saying the orcas are bad for attacking boats and then underneath it a scene from The Office with the caption altered to say “You know what? Now I’m going to root for the orcas even harder.” source
Just quit going over there.
Until the Fediverse becomes much larger than it currently is, ditto the robustness of communities here, there’s really not much choice for users like me but to keep visiting both sites for the time being.
yeah, what choice is there? they might have to be BORED for a few minutes, otherwise. can you imagine that? looking into the void and not having reddit to distract you? i mean, i just thought about that for 5 seconds and I shit my pants twice.
my solution: if you gotta cave to the craves, READ on reddit but only POST on federated. this will kill them long-term, and for me at least, its an easy “fast” to hold to. If we only post to federated, the quality here will keep going up. Reading doesn’t help reddit stay alive (at least not compared to writing, giving them “content”).
This seems like the right approach.
Also, as a small-time content creator, for the time-being I plan on posting original content here (such as graphic novel reviews & high-quality samples), then link the Lemmy posts over to Reddit. Over time, hopefully that will draw some percentage of Reddit users over here to view the content.
What communities do you miss from over there?
Dozens & dozens. For example, I currently have 14 multi-reddits set up. One of them that I’ve named “flood” contains the subs below.
/r/altcomixx /r/AmerExitx /r/AmItheAssholex /r/Aquariumsx /r/AskRedditx /r/badhistoryx /r/catsonglassx /r/cfsx /r/Chinax /r/ChoosingBeggarsx /r/ColorizedStatuesx /r/comicstriphistoryx /r/fuckHOAx /r/graphicnovelsx /r/guineapigsx /r/HobbyDramax /r/howitsmadex /r/HybridAnimalsx /r/IDOWORKHERELADYx /r/IndianCountryx /r/japanx /r/japanlifex /r/kidsinthehallx /r/KitchenConfidentialx /r/KITHx /r/learnfrenchx /r/mashx /r/minipaintingx /r/Miniworldsx /r/Nipponx /r/OldSchoolRidiculousx /r/PixelArtx /r/plantclinicx /r/PoliticalHumorx /r/PropagandaPostersx /r/puzzlesx /r/reclaimedbynaturex /r/slavelabourx /r/spelunkyx /r/spicyx /r/StartledCatsx /r/Survivalx /r/ThriftStoreHaulsx /r/TwoXChromosomesx /r/vintageadsx /r/whatsthisbirdx /r/whatsthisbugx /r/whatsthisplantx /r/youarefiredx
AFAIK there is currently no way to do the equivalent of multi-reddits in Lemmy, which is basically a way to do custom-themed streams of content.
There’s a bot that scrapes the data for you. Just paste this into your lemme.ee search bar - https://lemmit.online/c/altcomix, for example.

And while you’re at it, quit telling me what’s going on over there.
I’m new to the whole Lemmy thing, but isn’t this the snoo-calypse forum, dedicated exclusively to discussion of Reddit?
My guess is it’s people who aren’t sorting their feed by subscribed.
This is cartoon-level villainy.
if spez were old enough to grow a moustache, he’d be twirling it
Please don’t tie being able to have a moustache to age. Not everyone has the genes to grow one, even if they are born male.
It’s pretty narrow minded to limit growing a mustache to those born male.
That wasn’t my intention, nor the content of my comment.
Note the “even if”. That means we’re starting from a position of everybody eventually being able to grow a moustache if they get old enough and note that it isn’t the case. Then we check if it’s the case for everyone born male, and again it’s not the case. At no point did we assume that there were no people born female who are eventually able to grow a moustache with age, though it is implied that not being able to grow a moustache regardless of age is less uncommon among people born female or at least perceived to be.
you are assuming a tremendous amount that I didn’t say just so you can mental gymnastics your way into being offended over a theoretical group of people you invented who have nothing to do with this conversation. that’s a you problem, and I’m not responsible for you trying this hard to be upset over nothing.
It is partially tied to age. Age is one of the requirements to grow a moustache, even if (as you correctly pointed out) not the only one.
But you’re missing the point, really. What both posters above are highlighting is that spez is a child and a comic villain.
Don’t worry, I understood the point perfectly. It’s just that you can be an adult male and still not be able to grow a moustache, and implying those people aren’t adults isn’t nice.

/r/LateStageCapitalism getting banned for orca-posting is the only thing that could beat /r/chapotraphouse getting banned for John Brown posting tbh
