      I was so happy when I found lemmy. A great alternative to reddit with a small and kind community. I hope it doesn’t turn into the cancer that is reddit.

      I joined reddit in 2013. It was great until it wasn’t

        I blame the 5 mods who control the top 200 subs. I still think posting was better years ago. Could actually post comments.

    Prediction: This change comes to life, people make an uproar about this. Then they forget this in a few days and continue using reddit.

    This same old keeps happening with reddit, Twitter/X, etc.

    Hopefully we do receive some refugees to Lemmy!

      Reddit likely won’t die from one bad change, it’s going to slowly die to attrition as they keep putting shit like this in.

        Hi!

        For Lemmy usage my preferred approach is always sorting by all and blocking communities (and instances) I don’t want to see instead of subscribing to the ones I do want to see. This way you get more content and dont miss new sublemmies! :)

      Well Reddit wouldn’t be the juggernaut it is now if Digg hadn’t done similarly stupid things and paid the ultimate price. Social media sites do fall, and Lemmy grows a little every time this happens. I honestly don’t care. I like Lemmy how it is now.

      I see more and more people moving to Bluesky, which means Xitter is becoming less and less relevant by the day. Except for nazi shitheads, that is.

    I wonder if that’s what all the banned subs thing was about. Maybe “some content” = NSFW subs

      i’m guessing older posts, maybe 6+ months. so basically question you google with an answer on reddit.

        So if the accepted solution is behind a paywall, the question gets asked (and answered) over and over again. It’s an insidious way to generate infinite content.

    Reddit is just a bunch of bots, jerking each other purple. They don’t have any content worth locking.

    I don’t really get it why would people want to post to a sub that hardly anyone can see and likely you won’t get any good amount of karma.

    likely I’m missing something but yeah I wouldn’t pay to see a sub I’d just look for a free one which likely already exists.

    I moved here and took a break from Reddit for a year after the whole API thing.

    Recently been dipping my toe back in the water, lurking only.

    It is noticeable that a lot of posts are obviously bot accounts trying to spur debate on contentious topics. And in general, it’s a sad echo of the community it used to be.

    On the other hand, there are some communities there that are still pretty active and interesting just based on the sheer volume of people that still use Reddit. So it still has a place in my life… Kinda.

    Only expect to get worse over time, it’s like a slow decline of a friendship
