  • The core of the issue is that 99% of people are incredibly unwilling to change their habits

    People still use Twitter when the owner does Nazi salutes and Bluesky offers a 1:1 replacement

  • my feed is full of communist vs communist vs non-communist drama. Can we frickin’ chill?

    Block those communities?

  • Piefed asks this during onboarding: https://piefed.social/comment/4664996

    They also have built-in keywords filter

  • you already have to deal with choice paralysis.

    "Lemmy has 47k monthly active users

    Feel free if you have any questions"

  • Why not keep your account to talk about Lemmy?

  • Thank you for your comment, hope you like it here.

  • Maybe ~20% or posts I see are talking about Reddit or talking about Lemmy in relation to Reddit. It’s annoying.

    People talk about Reddit now due to the influx last week.

    Usually Reddit isn't that discussed.

  • But the crux is which one do you recommend?

    "Lemmy has 47k monthly active users

    Feel free if you have any questions"

    For the rationale: https://feddit.uk/post/23882306

  • extra-instance account transfer request is going?

    You mean settings or content?

    Settings have been exportable for a while now.

    Content cannot be and probably never will. Even Mastodon doesn't allow it:

    Mastodon currently does not support importing posts or media due to technical limitations, but your archive can be viewed by any software that understands how to parse Activity Streams 2.0 documents.

  • The problem with that is that you need to make a user on one of those servers.

    Why would you? The communities are accessible from every federated instance

    https://lemmy.world/c/startrek@startrek.website

  • This server is a games server. It has /c/games, /c/fallout, /c/vintagegaming, etc.

    https://lemmy.zip/

    https://programming.dev/ is for programming

    https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/ hosts a lot of queer communities

    I prefer !android@lemdro.id to the !android@lemmy.world

  • For example, lemmy.ml/c/linux_gaming and lemmy.world/c/linux_gaming have around the same number of subscribers. Should I post to both? Maybe the same people subscribe to both, so that’s pointless?

    .ml and world don't really share the same views and vibes

    it doesn’t seem like it went anywhere?

    Some communities consolidated. Electric cars did a few weeks ago. Cooking communities back in the days.

    Some communities prefer to stay on their own.

    !communitypromo@lemmy.ca is trying to solve that issue, but regularly posting "the" community on a topic. But you can't prevent everyone to create new communities, the same way 90% of the subreddits are probably empty with a mssing mod

  • they could be virtually joined into one memes community at the user level

    Good luck with !politics from LW, hexbear and feddit.org colliding

  • And I’ve been seeing it all the time, to be honest. People here seem to struggle with the concept of just scrolling past something that doesn’t interest them and they just have to stop by to tell anyone how stupid they think their interests are.

    Definitely
