Mirror to Lemmy, how real are you really

2 years ago by TranslateErr0r to c/asklemmy

So, made the "big switch" from Reddit to here. My experience so far is bad: +90% reposts (seriously, even Reddit for me is < 20%), and just about all the rest is "Look at how awesome I am for standing up against the not-so-orange-anymore Satan".

Most of you missed the point on what it means to provide a humane alternative. Instead of liberating yourself, you're just trading in one oligarch for another.

Heck, Lemmy wont even allow me to post this as I want "only mods can be chiefs and shall choose their joy division as they see fit".

i feel like each sentence of that was less coherent than the one before. you should keep going, get weirder with it, see where you end up.

Uh, what?
You're writing this as if each instance is run its own oligarch.

@thedude@sh.itjust.works Can you confirm that you're secretly filthy rich and that you're funding the instance to push your agenda? Or any agenda? (No I'm not serious, in case there's any doubt.)

I don’t get your point. Can you try to explain it again?

Lemmy is small and still somewhat insular, so certain topics tend to get more content than others. You can solve that issue by blocking what you don't want to see (by community or by user), and most importantly: participate by posting content yourself.

We don't have anywhere near the amount of users that you can treat this place entirely like reddit and just expect the content to just come to you.

Edit: Also, if you don't like how a community is run here, there's most lilely another version of it on another instance with different community mods. There's a ton of "ask lemmy" communities out there if you don't like lemmy.ml's moderation style.

The tradeoff for no ads and no corporate incentives is that you have to put in just a little bit more personal effort to curate the experience you want.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Post some original content, comment on posts, add value.
