Reddit, when the walls fell
Ha, I knew setting up my own server would attract more people!!! /s
But it is a great development, happy to see it 😀
Greetings everyone
Reddit's auto moderation has gone haywire. You can't say anything bad about nazis now.
What is the reddit drama this time?
Getting in trouble for upvoting restricted material. If you continually upvote stuff that reddit deems not allowed on the site you get banned.
It's the ever enduring brain melting Enshittification... I heard you can now buy decorations or something similar for your sub. I don't have a source for this, but afaik they have been adding new features for reddditors to spend their money on.
What’s that dip on 2/12? What happened?
The hexbear.net instance went down, because the admins forgot to renew the domain name
(Technically the server was still running, but federation works via domain names)
Reddit is being crazy and censoring/banning people.
I didn't realize that was only 50 thousand users. Muddy have been only 5000 in 2023 during the API Exodus.
Literally seems like 1/4 the comments of Reddit, 1/1000 the userbase. I think between API lockdown and "violence" banning, the entire commenting community of Reddit came here lol.
I can't remember one instance of a company being bought out and then made better by investors. That's why I came here. I just don't like people like that. I hate how everything is about money.
What's an "active user"? Can I just up vote things I like, do I need to leave comments like this, or must I get involved in senseless flame-wars?
If you are here and want lemmy to succeed, please consider donating. The devs used to get by mostly by nlnet foundation grants but are trying to shift to a more sustainable donation based model. You can see how they are doing on the join-lemmy website when you scroll down to the bottom, there are also links to their liberapay (preferred option) paetreon, etc.
What does "active" mean in this context? Is giving an upvote or opening the app enough, or do I need to write a comment/post?
I’ve enjoyed it. Doubt I’m using it to its fullest ability. Only on two instances.
You don't need multiple accounts, communities are subscribable from remote instances.
Hey look! I'm a statistic! Not the one I expected.
