Anyone miss old school forums ? Sometimes I do.
I just want a version of Reddit where the average user a) is human and b) knows how to read, or a version of Lemmy where the average user a) isn’t a Leninist and b) knows how to read
Sadly, but you have described an issue solvable only by time or interdementional travel. And we don’t have both. 🙁
Yes, but the UI in og forums are not great. Better UI and accessibility is the number one appeal of Reddit.
A bigger boat is not always a better one.
Lemmy
Reddit
Boy was the Titanic huge. What a marvel of the day and age.
Yeah, a huge bitch
I don’t miss it. I clicked today on a reddit search result after a long while and ended up on an AI generated search thing that was trying to be helpful. Noped the hell out.
The front page is just brainless video link after brainless video link.
Yet Reddit suppresses discussion of lemmy…
If Lemmy was Reddit’s ex, it would rip Lemmy out of all its photos.
I’d actually argue they do. Look at how often posts and comments mentioning Lemmy get removed. If they didn’t care about them, they’d leave them up like they didn’t matter.
I have never had a comment mentioning Lemmy removed
It heavily depends on circumstances like when, where, by whom and how was Lemmy mentioned. In some small unpopular communities it has very low chances to be removed. But, if it mentioned in big ones, then it has higher chances to be eliminated. Also, it seems that for now AI can normally process only text data, so mentioning it in a caption will not trigger Reddit AI moderation.
The actual users don’t think about Lemmy because the admins won’t let them know it exists.
The difference is that Lemmy is a social platform and Reddit is a advertisement delivery platform, by which it has joined the ranks of other so called top-tier “Social Platforms” like xitter, facebook and instagram.
xitter
The only good way to spell that platform’s name. Love it!
Yeah definitely, The post isn’t to shit on Lemmy. I find it more of a home here than whatever reddit was
Accurate, don’t forget that Donald Draper is actually a miserable SOB who is not who he’s pretending to be

Wait, really? That’s sounds so low
Sounds like a bug. 24 users don’t write 1269 posts and 1867 comments.
Damn. It’s probably number of new users.
or number of users on a specific instance?
Accurate
I think the main cause is the time aspect. Like the lemming above, I’m missing the old Reddit. The bottom half of the picture is the (somewhat) new reddit. But yeah, I’m aware it hasn’t changed overnight only 1-2 years ago.
