List of Active Reddit Alternatives 2023, post that reddit deleted
  • Linking directly to reddit helps them show up at the top of search results. Use archive websites.

    The person who created the "List of Active Reddit Alternatives" is a dev who helped work on saidit.net. They deleted the post themselves and quit being a mod of that redditalternatives sub; due to their disgust with reddit and many of the users on it.

    That subreddit is not trustworthy now. I recall someone sharing evidence of content they're censoring.

    Reddit - /r/CasualConversation is full of bots that post ChatGPT-generated comments.
  • People should stop linking to reddit. Use an archived version. More websites linking to reddit is why they're at the top of search results. It's called "domain authority".

    How is Lemmy better than Reddit?
  • Unfortunately, I haven't observed that. There seem to be many people on Lemmy who go out of their way to be antagonistic to other Lemmy users. Which includes downvote brigading, as the OP said.

    Too much US election content on Lemmy?
  • Don't get your political coverage from social media. Look for reputable news sources. I block all the political communities.

    Heavy metals, including lead, found in many dark chocolate bars, research shows
  • The authors intentionally left out which brands had what concentrations of metals given that levels could vary even within the same company. Interestingly, the study found that organic cocoa products were more likely to have higher levels of cadmium and lead.

    Reddit /r/piracy in turmoil as a mod caught taking bribes to promote posts
  • The problems would only get exacerbated if more of them migrate over here, that’s the issue.

    I doubt that it would make Lemmy significantly worse. I've already had to block nearly a hundred lemmy communities for containing the "mindless trash" that is abundant on reddit. The reality is that most people aren't smart and don't want to browse and participate in intellectual content. They want to mindlessly scroll through endless memes. I have not observed that people on lemmy are overall more intelligent than people on reddit.

  • I don't think so. I think Lemmy already & inherently has many of the same problems. People are people, no matter where you go.

    Lemmy is only better because it's not centrally controlled.

  • I did a search from shitjustworks for "reddit die" and did not find https://lemmy.world/c/watchredditdie so I made https://sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie (unnecessarily). This should really not happen. When someone makes a community there should be a "ping" sent out to notify all other federated instances.

    And from what I know, if I post to !sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie only users on sh.itjust.works will see the posts until other people from other instances randomly come across it somehow and subscribe? This really needs to be improved.

    WatchRedditDie Discord gets taken down

    I don't use Discord, but I don't use any Discord-alternatives either. I think matrix.org would be the main one?

    https:// sh.itjust.works /c/watchredditdie

    I saw some weird pro-reddit content on other reddit-themed communities and then !snoocalypse@lemmy.ml went into archive mode, so I decided to make this to keep it clean from any reddit shills lurking in the dark. I'll start by posting some historical content.

    By the way, anyone know what might be the most anti-reddit lemmy instance? I'd hate to find out that shitjustworks likes reddit and doesn't want a "watch reddit die" community on their instance.

    Reddit is so untrustworthy. r/modcoord thread purges all pro-fediverse comments, then r/redditalternatives removes the thread exposing it.

    Moving to the fediverse

    Hi guys, are you familiar with the fediverse? It's an open-source reddit-alternative that is owned and run by no one. So it doesn't suffer from the threat of a single hostile entity making drastic, unwanted changes, as we recently saw with reddit, resulting in the side-wide protests.

    It would be great to have your subreddit join the fediverse! If you do, I would suggest not using lemmy.world, as it's already the largest instance and it's better to spread things out so no one has too much control.

    • Awesome Lemmy Instances has a list where you can see how many instances block/are blocked by each other https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances. This can help you pick an instance to create your community on.
    • https://join-lemmy.org/instances - Click on an instance, and look at the right sidebar. It will list local rules of the instance. You can also browse the "local" feed to see what kind of communities live on that specific server.

    You can even create your own instance like /r/futurology and /r/piracy did https://futurology.today, https://lemmy.dbzer0.com. If you do, you may want to seed your community with content https://futurology.today/post/166237.

    Once you make a community on Lemmy you could sticky a post in your sub to let your community know, and/or create an automod sticky in each thread.

    I was homeschooled previously with a small group of other children and we fart in class all the time.

    Now I'm in public school for high school and no one is farting. I was very sheltered and public school is like a whole new world for me, so I don't know what the norms are. I've been holding it in but my stomach hurts and it leaks out anyway.

    I don't understand how there are so many more people in high school and yet zero farts...
