I really wish the !tipofmytongue@lemmy.world community grows here on Lemmy. It was my all time favorite subreddit. No fighting, no toxicity, it's just straight up:
"I forgot this thing"
"You mean THIS thing?"
"Yeah! That thing!"
Everybody wins.
76I can't decide if it's a good thing or a bad thing, honestly. I joined the initial wave of people leaving Reddit when RiF died. I was excited to see my niche communities like Skyrim Mods and ObsidianMD pop up here, but over time they stagnated as people slipped back to Reddit.
At the same time, I came to realize that I spent a lot of time on stupid subs browsing stupid content that just sucked away my time. And for even my niche subs that I missed, I realized that 75% of that new content is the same reposts, the same arguments, the same debates. I do cheat every once in awhile and go back to Reddit, but now it's to see the top posts of the month to see what I've missed. Turns out, I haven't missed much.
It has taken a while to get Lemmy where I want it. I've filtered a ton of communities and users that do nothing but talk about Russia and socialism and whatever the fuck tankies are, and there sure were a lot of cartoons of animals with enormous NSFW bits I had to filter, but it's starting to come together now for me.
62Yeah true, but chances are you'll post on a smaller """dead""" sublemmy and it'll get upvotes and responses within hours. Do the same with an active reddit and you'll be lucky if anyone responds
52There's no better feeling than making a post to a dead community, and then suddenly tons of posts start flooding in lol.
49be the change you wish to see!
37I'm hoping I'm able to stick with the community I made, even if it never gets anywhere. It feels nice to be working on some kind of project. I need new ideas for content, though. I doubt scanning RSS feeds for relevant articles every day is gonna keep things interesting.
Edit: Guess I oughtta plug. SFF Gaming is for sci-fi and fantasy gaming of all types, from video to tabletop and larp and anything else SFF gaming related that I may not know about.
10This might go slightly against the spirit of Lemmy, but for subreddits that act like a content feed where losing comments isn't a problem, I've created a reposter bot to mirror subreddits on Lemmy.
It has proven quite popular on !100yearsago@sh.itjust.works . If anyone wants me to mirror a similar sub just drop me a comment
10!philosophymemes, where you at
6In my experience, a lot of these subs aren't abandoned and have plenty of subscribers, so if you post, people will jump on it.
5Same. that's why I'm commenting on posts that are several months old.There's nothing else to see here.
4you find your favorite subreddit on lemmy
it's from lemmit.online:
4I take great solace in going to the Neoliberal attempts at communities here and finding them to be ghost towns.
Stands to reason, as most people are here literally fleeing capitalist greed rot. Im glad most neolibs trusted the free hand of the market and are probably still on Reddit for Spez to fuck with as he wishes.
Republicans are bastards, but Neoliberals are the constant, painful reminder that we once had a pro-labor party in the US pre-Reagan, and they betrayed us to take the oligarch money along with Republicans.
4I often find a community i was looking for and there are often no posts. When the last post is 3 months ago, at least there is something but sometimes nothing is there.
