Lemmy Needs Donations!
Between Lemmy.world desperately needing new mod tools, Lemmy.ee disabling image uploads, and the two main Lemmy.ml devs working on Lemmy for less than minimum wage, I want to urge and remind everyone to please Donate!
The Lemmy devs have refused advertisements, refused collaboration with Meta, and focused all of their efforts (and then more) to support the wave of users who left Reddit. The Lemmy devs did this, as they let the work owed to their sponsor take the back seat, to give everyone here today reading this message the best experience possible.
Lemmy is already at 1% the size of Reddit, but only has 2 full time employees. Not only do they deserve more for the gruelling hours they've put in, but so does everyone else who's contributed too.
As soon as lemmy blocks REDDIT from being linked from this site.
Block that POS reddit site from being linked on Lemmy, it's always linked on Lemmy, it's like Lemmy is a fucking reddit side-site.
Your PFP is literally a reddit avatar
Troll = BUSTED LMAO
Lemmy is a link aggregation site. The entire purpose is to link to other sites.
Lemmy was created because of reddit fucking BS, and there is no reason to allow reddit URL to appear on this site.
Lemmy is years old. It wasn't created when you decided to join. Lmao
Some people were annoyed at reddit years ago too
Lol, no.
Yes it was
But not the bs you're probably thinking of
Ah yes, I see. Thanks for the link!
That's all Reddit was when it started too- a link aggregator Digg side-site.
Let natural growth run its course, and curate your communities better to see less Reddit content. I spent an afternoon discovering communities thst weren't built on reposts and see quite a decent amount of original content, and actively hide all the reddit-linked content.
They will not ever be blocking Reddit content because that will be the early death of this platform. Besides, devs choosing to hard block sites in the back end is a horrible, horrible precedent. Learn to deal with it.
How?
Block the lemmit.online and irradiated bots that just spam reddit links, as well as basically every community from lemmit.online Then add reddit to your uBlock lists so any accidental direct links just get blackholed. Bam, reddit is gone from your life.
I personally just sub to communities I like and only browse by subscribed. I haven't seen a single reddit link here.
I donβt know what communities you subscribe to, but I almost never see Reddit links here.
perusing 'everything' is where you'll run across the reddit-y kind of stuff
So just... don't do that? I'm not sure what's so hard about it. I almost never visited /r/all, and I don't do that here either. I just sub to things in interested in and only look at those.
Some clients do this now... url blocking, also word filters.
In your settings you can hide posts from bots
Or just block the lemmit bot like someone else said
So you have no idea, got it.
Block the keyword in your settings?? ...
HOW???
Are you using the official lemmy webapp, or an app?
Pretty sure there was a browser extension that blocks posts containing keywords in the lemmy webapp IIRC but can't remember what it's called, if you do a search for a community called Lemmy Apps you should find one there

Aside from that, if you're on mobile most of the apps support keyword blocking & filtering in their settings, such as Eternity, Connect, Mlem, Memmy and Sync
Reddit is a glorified Imgur to me now.
Ngl I agree. Lemmit bots aren't providing us content. The hacker news repost bot isn't providing us content. We need OC not reposts that link back to Reddit.
