Like others, being on Lemmy dragged me away from the constant stream of endless gratification. I still check it a few times a day, at most, but much less than Reddit.

What Reddit still has over Lemmy is a huge database of answers. While many people have left Reddit or moved on, their comments stayed, and that includes many searchable and genuine answers.

It also has more communities. Game devs still use Reddit to host a lite web page (subreddit) for example. While the fediverse has many communities, alot of them are duplicates. Every instance has their own Memes community for example, which pollutes the feed sometimes.

In the last year, I’ve made less than 5 posts on Reddit, mostly asking questions. I don’t browse it, I just end up on it from search results.

I wish the fediverse agreed on unique communities. It’s cool that I can communicate with several different websites, but imagine if there was 5 reddit.com’s and they all made their own memes subreddits. Either you have to subscribe to all of them and get duplicate memes, or you sub to one and miss out of 4x more.

Because those 5 reddits are all divided, so is the potential user base. I’m not saying we should go back to a single website, but rather that each website in the fediverse hosts one major community.

Alternatively, have an instance that merges all the other instances’ communities so that all the meme communities appear as one, and all duplicates are filtered out.

“That makes it free, right?”

It’s a healthy habit, nothing to worry.

Playing with sticky items (tape, stickers) rolling them in my fingers, sticking them to my hands and peeling them.

Additionally, touching things to my lips.

In a way, NFTs were supposed to solve this.

Do you want a relationship, even if it means you’re only friends? Does sex have to be involved to make it a relationship?

Cause they cost too much to commit right away. If you dont like what you got, either you go through the hassle of trying to get a refund, or if you pirated it, you just get rid of it.

My DND group has a Brazillian Doctor. I can’t speak for all of Brazil, but he was as active as I am, until he started working.

The internet is good filler when nothing else is happening for you.

I also have no insight into this, but it seems like another political war.

Doesn’t sound like it’s hidden anymore

The fediverse is what people make of it.

I think a balance of liberal to conservative discussions can be good for the general consensus. However, it usually ends in a screaming match. Liberals want change. Conservatives don’t want change.

The best option for humanity is to have some change and not change things too quickly, but in order to reach that happy medium, we have to talk through it, apply critical thinking, and be able to listen and reflect when we receive new information.

I don’t really visit FOSS communities, however I have given my fair share of bug reports and feedback. (I’m a game programmer)

Most communities welcome the feedback. I know I can be blunt, or even out of line while reporting sometimes. I try to be the “asshole” before another person comes along without my experience who actually is an asshole and doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

It’s also a minor test to see how they respond to rough feedback. I don’t think anyone has mishandled it so far. They are always polite and respectful to customers, and I usually relax after the first encounter.

I try to make it clear that the feedback I give has importance (when i know what im talking about), or if its minor, i tell them its not a real issue, not worth fixing, etc. If they reject it, it stops there. More often than not, they are understanding.

I don’t recall any blatant arrogance in any responses so far.

Tildes also doesn’t allow memes and only accepts “quality content”, meaning they can delete your comments and threads if someone (idk who) thinks they aren’t good enough. This will cause everyone on tildes to sound like the same person.

I think the idea of a federation: websites being able to talk to each other, could be mainstream. I don’t think lemmy will be mainstream, but I do think lemmy will be able to talk to mainstream websites on the federation.

What if you could use your lemmy account to buy stuff online, book a flight, pay bills, sign up for streaming services, etc.? The federation isn’t seeing its full potential.
