I saw some weird pro-reddit content on other reddit-themed communities and then [email protected] 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 I’ll start by posting some historical content.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.
Isn’t it heavily downvoted? Do you have examples?
Nope. The anti-reddit stuff was downvoted and pro-reddit stuff upvoted. I dug back into my profile to find the most recent time it happened to me https://sh.itjust.works/comment/7640949.
Overall I don’t find lemmy very anti-reddit at all. There were a bunch of anti-reddit subreddits of pretty large size that reddit basically shut down. All of them were way more anti-reddit than lemmy is. /r/watchredditdie and /r/declineintocensorship for example. I’m hoping to pull some of those people to lemmy by giving them a new home.
I had a look and those links point to a thread in [email protected], which is not [email protected] nor !reddit[email protected]. Both those communities are pretty much anti-Reddit.
Anyway, feel free to create another one, but be prepared for most of the people to just stick to those two, as they are well established and have large userbases
Yeah I didn’t want to go digging that far back. I wouldn’t say they’re large. They have a few hundred subscribers while the /r/watchredditdie, etc. subs had more than a hundred thousand and were larger alone than the whole of lemmy.
They are large comparative to Lemmy’s current size
Also, isn’t that against the whole notion of Lemmy? To spread things out and avoid concentration?
There’s a balance to be found between avoiding concentration and spreading too thin. There are multiple gaming communities, there’s only one for Legos
