I know I will. Reddit has become complete dog water over the past few years and I've been looking for a decent alternative for a while now.
Literally the only thing Reddit has going for it is troves of NSFW content and some incredibly niche communities that Lemmy doesn't yet have answers for.
It's a damn necessity if you want to avoid a situation like Mastodon had with Gab joining the fediverse.
Imagine the absolute shitshow if a white-supremacist Reddit clone like Poal suddenly integrated their site with Lemmy...
I think the Digg v4 moment will be when/if Reddit bans porn. And if they're gunning for an IPO, they're going to do just that.
Reddit has a worse power-user problem than Digg. I mean at the very least Digg didn't give its most active users the power to remove other people's content. The difference is that Reddit already existed as a better alternative to Digg until it imploded, whereas until the recent API changes and blackout happened, there was no viable alternative to Reddit and a lack of people seeking an alternative.
I hope that Lemmy serves as an acceptable shelter if not home for users looking for the next good web aggregator/messageboard, despite its shortcomings and the growing pains.
Time will tell. My concern about Lemmy is that it's non-profit and server hosting costs are great. It's all well and good until you see some of the smaller instances shut down because they cannot afford to host.
It was getting really bad.
Imagine having nearly 80 followers on Reddit and nearly all of them being OnlyFans spam bots.
I'm surprised we haven't seen power mods collectively band together to form their own Reddit clone.
Same. I joined just a few days ago. Well technically I made this account a month ago, but I didn't get the confirmation email so I thought my application wasn't accepted at first.
If there's something I've learned about fascists, or the right-wing in general, it's that they can't be reasoned with. It's like a cult where people are brainwashed.
I think it's down to the communities page more than anything else. Don't know if it's a bug with Beehaw specifically or Lemmy in general not having the feature, but you can't sort/filter the list of communities by number of subscribers or by instance.
Still a tonne better than Mastodon... My biggest complaint about Mastodon and the reason I barely use it is that if you look at all posts outside of your instance, you get riddled with bot spam. All I saw in the 'All' feed outside of my local instance were posts from a hentai reposting bot that regurgitated posts from various imageboards and anime porn subreddits...
