Oh, looks like I’m switching instances.

I had to exit the app to confirm which one was wefwef.

What’s to stop someone from just not checking the ‘bot account’ option for their bot though?

I miss the Wild West days. It built character.

Children today never have to see this kind of shit anymore.

If they didn’t get paid by Reddit they likely sold it on the dark web.

Damn, 20k subs already!?!

I could have sworn it was 7k like 3 days ago.

Implementation quirks.

I find even across instances in the same app, the content can change.

One of the growing pains, it will be solved with time.

I am one of those users.

Don’t even feel the need to go back to reddit. This platform is going to take off.

For real, on Reddit an 8 hour old post and nobody will see your comment.

Here I can comment on a post 2 days old and still get replies.

Yes but it will take at least a few years of organic use before you can do what we do with Reddit and add ‘Lemmy’ at the end of your search query.

I’m really confident Lemmy can be the future, so I’m being as active as possible while it’s small.

To everyone reading this: if you see a post with 0 comments, even a few days old, leave one. You could spark a conversation.

As early adopters, it’s important for us to be active on the platform. You see posts without comments, and then don’t leave a comment yourself because of it.

Be the change you want to see! Leave that first comment to spark a discussion.

Ah I see, I’ve only been using it from wefwef so far.

It will. Reddit only added video hosting in the past couple years. Before that, everyone just linked imgur and other hosting sites.

I bet the largest servers will eventually have their own hosting platform too, but for now it’s one of the growing pains.

But that’s not really a feature of Lemmy itself, but the program reading it.

For example, if I’m using a Lemmy app on my iPhone and I see a post with a YouTube link, the app is the one that needs to implement this embedded view feature.

But it’s sustainable if it’s non profit.

Most third party Reddit users were happy to pay in the range of $5 a month. The reason everything is shutting down now is because they don’t just want to break even, they want profit, and a shit ton at that.

The fediverse makes social media non-profit by default which means that we can all share the cost.

Wikipedia is one of the largest websites in the world and is still non-profit. It shows that it’s sustainable.
