This is a post about Reddit
post
I'm over the Reddit posts / comments
Then why are you submitting more of it?
We're in denial.
there is !reddit@lemmy.world, as long as these posts are contained where people can opt to sub or ban, im ok with it
Weirdly enough, whenever someone posts something about Reddit in !reddit , someone comments about how we should stop talking about it already.
I can agree with that. There's no use in talking any more about Reddit (Posts like this one are no exception, honestly). On all other magazines/subs. !reddit is about Reddit though, so I just don't get why people don't just block that sub already instead of complaining about it.
Nobody complains when people on !firefox talk about Firefox or even Mozilla (Yes 'even' because Mozilla is not the browser itself, which !firefox is about, but the corporation behind it).
There's going to be news about Reddit as long as it exists, and those are gonna be on !reddit for as long as it exists. Complaining about it really does nothing since there are obviously enough people still interested in seeing how it goes. Some people just want to reminisce or rant. This is going to stay for a while, the platform was a massive time sink for most active users. Just block it.
Oh just to add to it as well, nobody ever seems to complain about the obvious reposts from Reddit.
I might be able to explain the last part, since i'm guilty of it recently in a different regard.
I started a new community,!imageedits@lemmy.zip. To start a new community though, you need content. but the community type is intended to be users submitting content to edit, and myself and others edit as requested. I feel silly making posts just to complete them "for myself" and I'm too lazy to go look for interesting content to edit. So, I go to /r/psbattles or whatever, scalp a popular battle image, and post it to my community. along with an edit. makes me feel less silly while also generating some content that help showcase what the community can be used for. After I get maybe 1 page of stuff, slowly, I'll post to a "new communities" area to advertise my community.
When people are pulling /reposting content from Reddit, its because they want to help Lemmy grow, and not just lurk, but they dont have any good new content to share. I would rather people repost here and there, and communities have content, versus everyone lurking, and OC slowly trickles in.
TL;DR - theres a general understanding that adding content right now is critical because people that are new transitions may get bored with lack of content and leave. and many of us aren't on reddit at all now, so it not a "repost" to us.
Lemmy is just reddit refugees and the FOSS nerds. This place needs more people.
I'm mostly read-only on reddit via RSS on a few subs I follow. As loathe as I am to admit it, reddit still has a massive user base with a lot of active niche discussions that lemmy just can't replicate yet.
Mmmmmm... steve huffman looks so hot and sexy in this picture. Just like he always does
Now that the sane people have left, let's talk about anime
It's time to get over reddit people. It's the only way this platform can prosper
He has his shoes in the wrong feet, I love these AI fails
