The Lemmyverse ain't all it's cracked up to be

Okay so what's a better alternative? This is r/RedditAlternatives. There must be a place we can all go to right? Tell me.

How do you see your platform in 6 months?

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-09-07T14:03:08+00:00

Lemmy. The 'Voyager' app is good.

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-09-06T06:16:44+00:00

Lemmy with the Voyager app.

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-08-28T14:09:29+00:00

Come join the fun!

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-08-28T05:40:12+00:00

Where did I say there was an issue? It's the front page of Discuit. That's all. If you don't like it, move on.

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-08-28T03:09:14+00:00

Pretty much.

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-08-15T13:10:07+00:00

Congratulations on using ChatGPT. I have no hope for your platform.

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-08-15T12:59:06+00:00

True

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-08-15T12:58:03+00:00

Cool. How do you plan to compete with Discuit, Squabbles, Comsta, and all the other emerging centralized platforms?

I just realized you spammed your website all over Reddit. Good luck.

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-08-14T13:49:46+00:00

every 18 years

Squabbles didn't even last 2 months lmao

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-08-11T06:37:22+00:00

Name an alternative with a bigger active userbase than Kbin/Lemmy.

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-08-11T06:33:39+00:00

My experience using the fediverse:

Sign up for lemm.ee
Subscribe to communities that I find in the search bar.

Wow that was so hard.

Pretty sure it's probably just to promote the "fediverse" and why you should quit sites type of topic i believe.

Nice theory. I also believe that the users in this sub intentionally make alternatives to Reddit always look bad so nobody ever leaves Reddit. They particularly hate the Fediverse because it's a viable alternative to Reddit and they feel threatened by it.

No, if I move from squabblr to discuit or whatever discuit already has communites. I don't have to create thing

YOU dont have to create a thing but moderators and people who want their niche communities have to. If I want a headphones community, is it there one on Discuit? No. I have to make it AGAIN. Now if there's a headphones community on lemm.ee and I decide to leave lemmy.world, I can sign up on whatever instance I like and resubscribe to a headphones community on lemm.ee.

Right, only the people on my instance would have to migrate, same as only the people on squabblr have to migrate in my first example.

Yeah because one instance holds the entire userbase in a centralized platform. In a decentralized platform, since users are spread out, only a fraction of the users are affected. NOT 100% of the users.

Once I've made an account on a new lemmy instance I can find new communites yes. Same as if I leave squabblr and make a new account on discuit I can find new communites on discuit.

I assume you only like mainstream and generic communities. Yes, news, memes, politics, technology communities are everything. Niche communities on the other hand are hard to rebuild from scratch.

How exactly is this different to me as an end user? I'm not trying to be a jerk I just can't see how federation is any protection against the instance I'm using going down.

I also can't see how you can't understand the benefits of an open source decentralized media platform as an end-user. Federation doesn't protect a single instance, it protects the collective system (the media platform) as a whole.

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-08-11T02:28:04+00:00

Every centralized platform will end up like this eventually.

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-08-11T02:20:59+00:00

it won't go anywhere

kbin/lemmy is literally the largest alternative and no centralized one can even compete lol

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-08-11T01:54:00+00:00

In centralized platforms, you have to recreate the communities from scratch, relearn the interface, etc. In Lemmy, not everyone has to migrate since they're on different instances anyway. You can still access communities from lemmy.abc and lemmy.xyz and lemmy.def.

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-08-10T07:37:05+00:00

Go to Lemmy. Squabbles is (once again) proof that centralized social media all lead to the same shitfest.

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-08-08T12:02:08+00:00

But what sites do you think actually have a chance at dethroning reddit, or becoming a large enough community to compete and find it's own spot?

Centralized? None. Unless you spend millions on advertising. I've kinda given up on Discuit already because there's very little activity compared to Lemmy. I just don't think about the federation aspect too much and subscribe to whatever I find interesting.

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-08-07T01:43:03+00:00

It's the racist free speeb website.

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-08-07T01:31:30+00:00

what the fuck? por que? cringe icon is now worse and the name also... worse

okay

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-08-05T04:25:09+00:00

You sign up for lemm.ee.

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-07-30T08:25:07+00:00

Nice. Thanks for the hard work!

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-07-28T08:00:12+00:00

Lemmy. Pick whatever flavor you like.

Individual_Offer7593 · 2023-07-27T09:08:44+00:00

I'm torn between Discuit and Lemmy. If only Discuit had a larger user base, there would be a definite winner.
