It isn't hard to sign up for. No one is saying that is the case. It gets confusing when people start talking about adding subscriptions from other instances and how you can copy and paste the link and subscribe. That right there is where 95% of the people on the internet stop caring.
If the developers of Lemmy and the wider Fediverse ever get that fleshed out in an intuitive way I think popularity will go pretty fast.
That and long term if there is a way for information to be collectively backed up so that if some owner shuts down an instance everything isn't gone.
I would pay $50/year to use Apollo. No question. I wouldn't take $50/year to use their first party App. I would rather just not use Reddit.
I'm sure Reddit will remain for many years, but I seriously hope this is the beginning of a major shift in peoples approach to large sites like them. Many smaller communities can only be a good thing for the internet. Lemmy/Beehaw are exactly what I hope become more commonplace. Mega social media platforms all need to go.
This place has existed for a lot longer than the last month.
Linux distros are still an operating system.
Props to the mods, but they are on borrowed time. It is just a matter of time before Reddit admins step in and take over the site. I just hope that replacement mods say enough to get the role and then immediately carry on.
No one is really insulated. The way I explained it to someone is Reddit was like a girlfriend you dated for 10 years. It was great and it was mostly on autopilot. You both enjoyed each others company. Every so often you would get in a fight but it was never anything too extreme. The API change was like a massive blow up where you two finally say things that cannot be taken back. Afterwards your relationship isn't really the same. It is not necessarily damaged beyond repair, but one of the two in the relationship is just sorta sitting there thinking "This aint worth it anymore" so they go on a break to take some time. Many people will go back. Many will call it quits. Some will go between Lemmy and Reddit. But things are just not going to be the same moving forward.
I had an R-Zone when I was younger. It was an absolute piece of shit. My mom found it at a garage sale. We had a racing game that I remember and then I remember like some K-mart ass style fighting game too.
Right. I'm loving this. It is a huge breath of fresh air. Obviously the people hosting Lemmy.world have to pay for this though. If they put out a subscription that was minimal in cost I would pony up even now with the jank and all. This place is worth investing my time and energy into I feel.
I started using workspaces in the last year or two because I game and do video editing on the same machine. It is nice to have things separated a bid.
That is exactly what’s happening to me too. It seems to be random. But I’ve started paying closer attention as I navigate around so I’m hoping to maybe identify any consistency and what would be causing it so I can report it.
I used the script that was bouncing around and yeeted my entire post history and comment history. I'm sure Reddit will bring it all back at some point because they're Reddit.
What is TIHI? Thanks I Hate It? That is all that comes to mind.
Set your profile to open to work if you haven't. That makes all the difference in the world.
I cannot recall which phone it was, but going to sports bars in college and changing the channel on the TV to the games I wanted to watch was so cool. Probably pissed a whole lotta people off, but I was a young college shithead and didn't really register that at the time.
That seems to be what basically every person is doing lately. They act like there is no difference between Lemmy and Reddit. Sure, signing up is easy. But understanding subscriptions is a different situation entirely.
I hope so! I really liked the remake of Animaniacs that was on Hulu too.
Yeah there are a lot of communities out there where there is just a bot that appears to be mirroring what is posted on the subreddit it mirrors. There are a ton of posts like that I have seen.
It is not very good. I've used Bard, BingAi and ChatGPT to write VBA code. I can paste the same prompt into all three. ChatGPT usually gets it right. Bard rarely does without really breaking it down and explaining what I want like I am explaining to a 5 year old.
I'm not sure where I will be moving forward, but I would say more likely that not it will not be on Reddit. That much I do know. I will still use Reddit on occasion, but the sense of community is mostly gone for me.
Why do you feel LinkedIn is creepy? Just curious. Out of all the social media presence I currently have LinkedIn seems to me like the only one that is actually benefiting me. I post very little on there unless I am promoting a professional achievement.
Mods already are carefully picked and yet slips happen often, if they rush a replacement (which they will have to do if they force new mods) then moderation issues will be a big issue on reddit Reddit admins vet mods? I just assumed it was always a boys club of who knows and likes who in the modding community.
I was having that same issue.
Just wait until you buy the sequel ;)
Well you have a binary choice. Trump or Biden. Both will fund genocide.
That is absolutely going to happen. I suspect there will be a ton of Apollo and other 3rd party app logos too.
