      I mean, it’s probably for onlyfans-ish porn. So probably they won’t want to move here.

        They could, but as it currently stands media hosting on the fediverse… Sucks.

        It’s obscenely expensive for everyone involved, and scales poorly. It’s just not ready to operate at scale at this point.

        I’m sure it will get better, but large storage costs are better off being handled by a distributed file-system where a minimal level of duplication is baked in, but the storage load is reasonably spread out instead of fully duplicated on each peer.

        There are technologies for this, but they all have their own issues. And tomorrow there will be n+1 distributed filesystems, fragmenting it further.

      Is there a list of the most active subreddits which don’t yet have a threadiverse counterpart?

      @[email protected] @[email protected]

      Might be an interesting project for Fediverser or [email protected]. Start with the most popular subreddit, create a Lemmy community on an appropriate instance, find mods and contributers (???, profit). Repeat with the next most popular subreddit.

          Thanks! I finally took the plunge to investigate Fediverser, and it seems like a really cool project.

          I went through a bunch of my Reddit subscriptions and recommended a bunch of analogous communities.

          One possible bug I found was in the filters. If I set “subscribed” to “yes” and clicked “apply filters” I got no results. Is this expected behaviour?

            Thank you! It was nice to wake up this morning and see like 3 different people adding a bunch of changes to the database.

            You are right about the bug. It seems that depending in some cases the list of subscriptions is not pulled.

              I also found that when I am trying to add a recommended Fediverse alternative to a subreddit, the heading says “Recommended Subreddit” and not “Recommended Community”.

              Curious if I have to add a community to the database in the first place before I can make it a Recommended Subreddit Community, or if it’ll be added if I paste the link into Recommended Community first without any other action (I noticed both adding a community to the database and pasting the link in Recommended Community make me grab the full URL so I was curious).

              You may also want to make the Subreddit field case-insensitive in case of duplicate additions. I unknowingly added a dupe subreddit because the version already there was the subreddit name in full lowercase instead of with the first letter capitalized like I saw it in the Reddit URL and the sub sidebar.

                Thank you for the feedback. I’m pushing now the fix for the typo. I will take a look at the issue with casing now.

                  You might want to put where we can communicate with you somewhere. I was looking around on the site for a Contact Me form and did a few searches to find the source code online so I could make an issue (think “site:github.com fediverser”) and didn’t find you. I’m lucky you were here today.

    I just feel like The Joker in The Dark Knight reading this. The scene where Batman is driving his motorcycle straight at The Joker, and The Joker isn’t flinching. They’re playing chicken.

    Reading this headline I’m like “do it…do it…c’mon do it, you coward…C’MON!!! DO IT!!!”

    Because I know that if he DOES try that, it’ll be just as big of an exodus as Twitter had when bargin bin Lex Luther bought it.

    Do it. C’mon, do it you coward!!!

        Could please share the article from the screenshot? The one where he says he wants to paywall r/asshole design?

        So basically anything goes in terms of content…

        EDIT: The reference to assholedesign is a joke, the first part is legite (that they are generally considering paywalled subs).

          Not just paywall their porn, also force linking:

          1. Payment method and thus Identity to reddit account

          2. Identity to whatever degenerate shit you like to get off to.

            That’s why I downloaded the top 250 non-text posts from 250 different pornographic subreddit when they announced the API bullshit over a year ago. I got an old man style static spank bank like playboy magazines in the 70s on my home server for safe keeping.

            I should probably scrape the top 250 from this past year from my favorite 20 or so subs manually or find some automated way that still works 🤔

      Every time Reddit does something stupid, there is an opportunity to bring more users to the fediverse.

      why is this here

      Because it’s relevant?

      Don’t let a bad thing go to waste, it’s a great opportunity to shore up, improve, and accept migrating users with friendliness and openness.

      A great time to share the ideology behind decentralized social media.

        So every negative news about Twitter, Instagram and literally every non-fedi social media platform is “relevant” too?

        The post itself doesn’t even make an effort to connect this to potential benefits for fedi.

      Also after a week of other posts about this (mostly to other sub’s, but still).

    I went back to check things out for the first time in a while and realized just how awful it is in comparison to Lemmy. It’s an incomprehensible clusterfuck of bots and influence campaigns. As long as engagement and new account numbers look good on paper to appease shareholders, I guess.

    I went on Reddit for the first time in months yesterday on two different occasions. Both times, Reddit kept throwing server error notices at the top of my screen.

    I actually think this might be good, imagine communities that will benefit from the involvement of professionals like therapists or nutritionists (like for stopping to smoke or drink alcohol or losing weight). If it has a market a lemmy alternative for that i think is definitely on the table.

        I disagree. The Reddit community at large is a bunch of spiteful shitposters who’ll spin anything and everything you put infront of them. They’ve done this for years.

        In my experience lemmy users are worst on average , but maybe it depends on what kind of sections of lemmy and reddit you use.

        There are other places out there that are more knowledgable and credible than Reddit pretends to be.

        the benefits of communities of practice for learning are documented in research, in terms of communities of practice for self improvement for example i found nothing better then r/selfimprovement (and i spent a fairly large amount of time trying to find one). It’s very helpful when people just share what helped them.
