EDIT: Argh, got the text placement wrong. Whatever, good enough for a low-effort meme :P
!remindme 7 days
gotta have a milestone to see where my instance is based on this. will the meme be milk or wine?
Is there already a remindme bot?
i wish, ill be working on bots soon, one of the main reasons i fired up my own instance.
Oh man, this just reminded me that I still have a few weird remindme bot comments I made for like 5-10 years down the line. Ah well, when Reddit is a backwater nothing I’ll probably login years from now and find a bunch of weird alerts from the remindme bot.
Not to worry. The API changes will have killed the bot long before then
Controversial take but in the early days I think it’s fine if you replicate the content from the old Reddit posts (maybe even link to the post) as long as you don’t claim credit. I think people just wanna see things at first, and then the conversation can grow. It’s not like Reddit was chock full of OC.
That’s my thoughts really. Integrate content that’s being posted to reddit to flesh the boards out for the time being, and the communities will gradually grow on their own.
Don’t be afraid to go a little bit further afield or dig into archives a bit. There’s plenty of good perfectly good shitposts out there that just need dusted off and set before a new audience. Get creative, folks.
Something something tree fiddy
Hehehe, Reddit was repost king and Crosspost king
I was gonna do that but the subreddit I wanted is private lmao.
It’s probably back up, time to do what redditors do best- REPOST!!!
I’m sort of hoping for a forum/reddit-y combo. My god I miss forums for niche weird stuff that I’m autistic about, but I also like consuming media at an ADD pace.
Am I the problem?
Lemmy does feel a bit cozy, kind of reminds me of the best of those worlds. It’ll be neat to watch it grow… hopefully.
You are not alone, and I’m starting to feel that treating Lemmy like a federation of web forums instead of Reddit replacement would fit the underlying model better.
wassadifference - reddit was after all just a bunch of message boards that made it easy to skip from one to another.
Imagine if zetaboards - or whatever came before that - had come up with the idea to make it easy for users to cross between different boards.
I have no idea how to use this, but there is an official phpbb like frontend for lemmy:
That’s actually cool and a bit like what I had in mind. But it doesn’t seem to offer an actual hierarchical view of the lemmyverse.
It would be nice to have a forum style clear treeview of the forums (instances) and their subforums (communities) with activity indicators etc to make browsing and discovering content straight forward. Then if you subscribe to a community it would also show in it’s own treeview that the user could arrange to their liking.
I like Lemmy for what it is. Feels like a return to an earlier web experience.
Ok what if you made the community and posted in it twice daily and now feel like you are talking to yourself?
Eventually someone will roll in and then you’ll just be talking a lot at them.
If you’re lucky, they might even talk back.
What is your topic? I’m shit for OC but I am a slut for commenting (I’ll even argue with you and get you nostalgic for Reddit if that’s what you’re into). You just gotta pick one of my ADHD hyperfixations.
I can generate engagement like a crazy person. Too much even. I have too many opinions and you people are my only outlet outside of my partner.
Kansas City Chiefs is the community I started here. But I was active on Reddit in that, Kerbal Space Program, Baduk (Go), and space and science communities.
Our overlaps are currently only space and science. Go as in the game? I think I can get into it, I’m just scared of the rules. Seems complicated. How can I get decent at it so that I can kick my partners butt? He kicks my butt at chess because he’s been playing for years but he vaguely knows about go but never played. Nothing would please him more than if I learned it decently and destroyed him at it. Im not lying, he loves when I’m randomly good at something because he loves when I become his main opponent, he’d get obsessed with the game.
And if he gets obsessed with it, he floods me with random information about it and then eventually I use that info as ammunition to talk shit on the internet. I’ve played maybe 5 games of foosball in my life but I could probably get into a fight to the death in the comments over Tornado vs Garlando vs Leonhart because my partner just infuses that information into me.
All this to say is that I’d love to comment and I can talk about any fucking thing. This is my third paragraph and I’ve said nothing of value. It’s a gift. But someone needs to sell me on Go.
https://online-go.com/learn-to-play-go
Is a great starting resource. I also came from playing chess first and most chess enthusiasts do love go once they learn it. Once you play through those instructions your best bet is to play some 9x9 until the rules click and then go up to 13x13 and then 19x19.
There are only three rules so it’s one of those easy to learn but hard to master things. If you think it’s something you want to learn after going through that link and playing a bit message me and I can play a teaching game with you on online-go.com one teaching game with a person walking through the game usually helps a lot then you’ll be all set to destroy your partner at a game he will hopefully become obsessed with.
Thank you for the resource. I’ll give it a “Go” tomorrow. If it makes my brain monkeys dance, you’re gonna be in luck (at least from the perspective that I’m gonna be filling at least one of your hobbies with endless comments and engagement).
For a successful community online you need two types of people: content creators and fillers. I’m a filler. I don’t provide value 99% of the time but I can generally keep a discussion going for long enough to make communities busy enough to attract content creators. I know people are pessimistic about Lemmy but if just a few fillers start passionately bickering in the comments, this whole project is fine.
Anyway I’m gonna tell you if I like Go. I might also take you up on the match when I’m comfortable with the rules. I’ll do my best, but the ADHD really runs this ship and I just do what the dopamine tells me. Wish you well in your Kansas City journey - not even sure what sport that is.
Yoooooooo! Another Baduk liker out here in the wild!
There are dozens of us! Dozens! Life was busy for a few months so I haven’t played much recently so I probably lost 2 ranks as it goes but I always come back to it.
Hahaha, I’ve never played seriously enough to get all that good. I’ve always been very firmly double digit kyu, but I love getting in a game when I can find someone who will agree to play. I’ve been getting more into online play, but I used to do pretty much exclusively physical games.
If you are on OGS send me a correspondence game (same username.) I also prefer irl but I have exhausted all of my friends and families patience with Go a long time ago lol
Ok what if you made a community, posted in it twice a day since the shutdown and now feel like ur talking to much?
Maybe no one likes the Chiefs?
Just kidding, I know nothing about sports.
😭😭 Lol more likely I’m not good at generating good content. I was above a lurker on Reddit but not by much. I’m just trying here cuz spez pissed me off.
Omg a chiefs fan here already!? MAHOMIE!! I’m not the best content creator for the topic but I’ll def join and go up vote everything!!
Happy ending!
I love your profile picture
Is there some place to advertise new communities?
Ironically the first one is giving me a “couldn’t find community” error (I guess I have to search it first?), but the second one is good.
Thanks for the links!
That’s because nobody on your instance has subscribed to it yet. Take the text (!findacommunity@lemmy.ml), and in the communities page, paste that into search. Switch from “Communities” to “All” in the search options, then you can click through and subscribe.
Thanks.
Because of the way Lemmy displays new replies, it looks like you’re calling me a barbarian at the end of each of these, haha!
Cool thanks!
Take my upvote!
I am still learning
i adore this old meme.
Me too I think I am getting old.
This is me.
I almost woke my family up. 🔥
Yeah, I feel this. I wont make communities since I’m not the moderator type. But I will make an effort to post which in my case is a step up since I mostly lurk.
Nice! Contribute literally anything, it all helps. 10 year reddit lurker here, also making an effort to bring something to the table. Until it gets busy. Then I’ll fade into the background again :)
I’ve actually had a great time making posts and contributing to conversations here. Everyone on these new subs wants to get the ball rolling, so any input usually brings something to the table. !Motorcycles went from 17 subs and 0 posts 5 days ago…to 230 subs now and a page full of posts and comments.
Same homie! Before I post on Reddit I look for my comment in the swaths of bots. It’s just not fun anymore.
Now I do the same thing I’ve always done,
Lurk and never contribute any content!
I’ll try to change i swear
Start posting, chatting and contributing! I’m trying to be active here myself.
I don’t like modding, but I’ve even created my own community here, which is saying a lot given how lazy I am.
And while I’m at it, i hope you don’t mind a shoutout to my new community, maliciouscompliance - recreated this as it was one of my favorite places to lurk on reddit!
/c/maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world
Awesome job man. Keep at it and I’m subbing. I’ll sub over and over and over and and over and over and over and over and over and and over and over and over and over and over and and over and over and over and over and over and and over and over and over
thanks and thanks and thanks and thanks and thanks and thanks and thanks!
I’ve done the same with c/reddevils. Never moderated before, but it was one of my main communities on Reddit and it didn’t exist here, so now it does!
high five!
Voting on content and interact in the comments is a lot easier than making posts and it’s still really helpful towards building vibrant thriving communities here.
If you have a sub you like that you think you could contribute to via posts, that would be awesome! But even just taking the time to throw your votes around does a lot (especially with fewer users)
Yeah I’m just really not used to making posts (but I swear I’ll try) but I at least try to vote and comment.
People actually reply to my stuff here and I don’t end uo in the unread gutter with thousands of others! Keep posting :)
Lemmy seems somewhat confusing to those who rarely or never used Fediverse (myself also rarely use Mastodon tho), but after I short while I get the hang of it tho. My instance is at lemmy.world, Its UI after a time trying is quite unstable; for example, a post’s karma is fluctuating at time, sometimes from over 1k drop down to negative, and upvotes aren’t recognized until you reload the page, the amount of time to post of login can be very long,…
Yeah is it just lemmy.world or lemmy in general? When I hit “reply” the post never seems to get posted, but I open a new tab and it seems like it actually went though.
The water in those bags is somehow way less dense than the sea water.

Dude, I’m on .world as well and holy hell the ‘timeout’ errors every time I click/scroll/look at anything too hard get a little trying sometimes… It seems to be largely cosmetic (if that makes sense) as it hasn’t eaten any of my comments or anything so far, but… lol
Also, odd and potentially problematic thing I’ve run into: so far, any /c/ link I’ve attempted to click on in jerboa flat out CTDs the whole thing. I’m not sure if that is a jerboa thing or a .world issue (somehow? Maybe? Probably not?), but just a bit annoying when I’m actively trying to find new communities to add 🤣😂
I am on the same instance, haven’t encountered such problems yet
Really makes it obvious how much content gets reposted by bots on that site. There really isnt as much original content being posted there as you might think.
I feel like this is more a user/uncertainty issue right now. Reddit still has a lot more users than Lemmy, I feel like a lot of communities are spread across different instances (am I saying that right?), so no ones knows which will be ‘the main one’, and I think a lot of users are still looking around, watching and learning how Lemmy works, before fully committing and posting like they did on Reddit. I know I am.
That’s the boundary to break I guess - it really doesn’t matter which instance you’re on; the communities are all the same.
And before someone says ‘but the duplicate communities’ point me to an example and I’ll tell you which one will last to become the community. (Or I’ll point out the quadruplicate sub-reddit equivalents.)
How about !formula1@lemmy.ml or !formula1@lemmy.world?
Edit: linking the communities correctly still requires some practice from me
The lemmy.world one.
I was excited to see this had 1200 upvotes then it changed to 3 and now it’s just showing random numbers. I’m not even mad.
LOL it’s like the lottery balls 🤣
It seems to have settled at ~900 for me.
It’s lemmy’s way of telling you karma is an artificial construct and you shouldn’t put too much value in it!
It keeps changing!
I’ve also noticed that for new submissions
You guys see upvotes?
Thanks for bringing me in from the cold!!
This can be the beginning of something great.
I got yelled at on Mastadon for saying refugee, apparently it’s offensive to people from war torn countries.
Is it really? I feel like people in war torn countries have more important shit to care about. This might be another instance of “terminally online person being offended on someone else’s behalf”
Wow it really IS like Twitter!
Us lemtards over here don’t know how to behave.
mastadon.social?
https://queer.party/@njion/110533346803997348 it was here. I don’t know exactly how it all works yet, but I was looking at a fediverse all feed
i dont see it, i do roll my eyes everytime is see people suggesting that we are somehow required to adopt the culture and ideology of the developer of a project.
its like people are really seeing opensource for the first time and are applying broken logic
It can make sense when the project is small. The developer of a project can have a large voice and you might have to work with them. The massive growth of Lemmy and the federated nature makes the issue moot.
to a degree, lots of people stopped caring about linus’s opinion on things shortly after compiling the kernel the first time. A more recent project i was on had its creator run out due to him being too controlling the PR list.
at the scale of the fediverse the attitude really does surprise me.
First day was hard and I was trying to check what’s going on in the remaining subreddits, but now on day 2 I don’t even wanna go there and prefer lemmy for sure. It feels more pure here.
This, first day was just a quick learning curve. I feel like I can navigate lemmy better now.
Also, lemmy looks more promising in the long run. Let’s say spez goes back and even makes the API FOC (impossible). He’ll still plan some major bs in the future.
The whole lying and now insinuating users would attack employees over a logo is just too far. He showed no love for the community nor for the contributors of reddit’s success.
Unless lemmy is dead, I won’t be returning to reddit.I checker out reddit, most of it now is suggestion of the subreddits still open…
What would be nice is if 90% of posts were not just about Reddit.
Agreed, and it’ll calm down in the next few days. People always need to talk about a breakup in order to process it.
It takes a little getting used to but I’m liking it more and more. Even with it’s quirks.
Absolutely. I think the quirks are cool, makes it feel more new and fresh
Same, I think I’ll be comfortable here.
Even with ti’s quirks.
Absolutely same.
