    I just deleted my 12yo account over the censorship. Reddit has become a draconian shit hole and I no longer want to be a part of it. I’m happy to be here.

    I just really wish there was more active communities for things I like.

    I made the Path of Exile community which is currently empty.

    There’s no Burning Man community yet for SOME UNKNOWN REASON

    All the EDM communities are dead including the one I made.

    Send Help!

      Did you make content for the Path of Exile and EDM community?

      I also think more general communities (gaming, music) are what we need now, then later given enough growth, they will break into more specialized ones.

      Without a critical mass of people, niche communities tend to have very few posts and comments. I wish there were more general communities like the early days of reddit instead of going straight into hundreds of dead communities.

        I love the critical mass metaphor for Lemmy. Posts and comments are the neutrons that knock free other posts and comments after reaching other people. If we spread out our fissile material into hundreds of tiny pails, then the neutrons just fly away into the air without having any effect.

    I’m one of the new users. Hi. Reddit suspended my account after I posted my indie game. No reply to my appeals for 3+ months. Gonna give Lemmy a try now

      That’s when hexbear.net (part of the tankie triad) went offline because their domain expired and the domain admin was MIA. Unfortunately, they were able to reclaim it, so the graph should correct back when they start federating again

        But they were still users who were active in that half-year, so even when they went offline it shouldn’t have resulted in a dip

    I gotta say, I respect what Lemmy does and hope it succeeds, and I think it’s a good place for discussions and such (and I will remain), but good god if this place isn’t unfunny as hell. I’m struggling real hard to find some place with actually funny content on here, which leads to me getting exceedingly riled up by politics.

      I think c/lemmyshitpost quite funny, at least the posts itself, not sure about the comment-section…

      leads to me getting exceedingly riled up by politics

      Fair enough I think it’s also way to overloaded with the depressing evolution of american politics…

      It’s better than it was a year ago so hopefully with more ex-Redditors it’ll diversify even more

      One of the problems with the way federation currently works is if I block US politics on one instance, I still get it en masse from other instances.

      Before activity pub, all that duplication of threads would’ve been handled by moderators merging them together. Actually, it wouldn’t even have been so necessary since userscan see the existing thread and just post underneath that.

      When blocking a community, we really need a check box to allow us to block the same community on all instances.

      I mean, there are communities for funny stuff, but at least speaking of the ones I stumble upon on my main feed, a significant portion of the funny posts is rather old/recycled. Could be just my feed, though.

        Unless there are communities I’ve missed, all the bigger communities post stuff one degree removed from advice animals. Maybe I need to look for the smaller communities

    I just hope this place doesn’t become another reddit, it’s already becoming one because of all you redditors moving here with your redditry.

    If you are here and want lemmy to succeed, please consider donating. The devs used to get by mostly on 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.

      Thanks for the reminder! I just donated $124.24. (12/4/24), advise you all to do the same if you’re able! Every $124.24 donation counts.

      I donated monthly for almost 2 years, and they never even added me on the donator page. Petty reason, but at this point I don’t even know how much they care.

        I care! Thank you, you rock internet stranger. I would have never looked at a donator page but I saw this. Please keep donating, looks like Lemmy is very underfunded. I did a one time for 124.24 today!

    I totally understandable i’m actually using a timer app timer now so i can keep track of how much i’m using it and try to lower it each month.

    Reddit is a tough one because your brain loves new information. It devours it. It wants it.
