Lemmy feels like Reddit to me and Mastodon feels more like twitter
so to me they’re both decentralized versions of popular social media
i just think of them as my new reddit and twitter since those companies are sitting at their desks jerking it all day
What you describe as the “issue” is the entire point of lemmy and decentralizing and all that.
once lemmy starts dictating “oh you have to change things in this community in this instance to match this instance” and “everything has to follow one master set of rules” they become reddit.
honestly the best way to solve your issue would just be multireddits, if you wanna see content from both communities just add it to a multilem or whatever they end up calling it.
This was really well said!!
I’m here from Reddit and that’s what I’ve been doing, just subscribing to whatever I can find for each subreddit I’m losing, and then whichever one seems like it’s either most active or has the most quality content stays and I unsub from whatever sublems aren’t providing content.
This OP seems pissed off about subbing to multiple sublems that are the same but like…you don’t have to. Go use Reddit? lol
The multiple sublems thing is kinda the point of Lemmy, there isn’t one big overlord controlling everything
So what you’re saying is, Reddit is fucking creators by not compensating them, but when you take that work and repost it without compensation, it’s ok?
Besides, the great thing about Lemmy is that it’s not Reddit. It has a whole different vibe. I think it’s worth maintaining that.
Exactly, this makes no sense.
It doesn’t hurt lemmy to have other options for mobile apps. It’s like a phone case. It doesn’t affect how the phone works, you just picked yours because you like it and it’s comfortable to use.
I could use the lemmy mobile site, but memmy has swipe gestures and themes and a much nicer UI, so it makes it much more pleasant to browse lemmy. It feels more intuitive.
You’re spot on!
That’s the perfect way to put it, Lemmy feels like the forums back in the earlier days of the internet, before social media took over everything and the internet was a bunch of little small niche communities, but each one was tight knit.

Mods don’t have a duty to do shit, Reddit doesn’t pay them anything, doesn’t even offer premium at a discount or anything.
Maybe if Reddit was more concerned with not creating a toxic hellspace, they wouldn’t need to rely on volunteers to keep their billion dollar corporation running smoothly. Everything about this pisses me off so fucking bad.
Where do they get off saying mods have a DUTY to them, when they LITERALLY are volunteers and reddit gives them nothing.
And maybe if Reddit wasn’t killing third party mod tools…like the moderation still isn’t gonna be the same no matter how many people you appoint bc you killed the tools that made it possible.
idk, i’m having kind of a hard time. i have a lot of niche subs on reddit that don’t seem to be on lemmy. i feel like i did when i first started reddit and just saw all the default pics/music/gaming subs
i’ve had the same thought as you.
i regularly use the sub tab. i watch youtube on weekends while i clean, so usually on friday i’ll check my home page a few times throughout the day, see if there are any interesting recommendations and save them to my watch later.
then in the evening i do one more home page scroll, then i slowly scroll my subs page and make sure i save anything that looks interesting to my watch later. then i might watch one or two videos from my WL that evening and i watch the rest (or what i can fit in) over the weekend.
I don’t get the point of subbing to a channel if you aren’t checking your subs tab. Like…that’s why it’s there lol bc the home page is a bunch of recommendations
