Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let's do this! 🤝

Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.

I personally don't want lemmy to end up as a reddit replacement. I'm scared the discussions will get worse like it did in reddit. Nowadays, people in lemmy actually discuss with you and not downvote-bomb or make a snarky comment for karma. I do hope we grow, though.

Yeah, the discourse on Reddit hasn’t been good in years and years. Normies using it was good for numbers, but the content suffered greatly. I like reading sentences that have at least a semblance of structure.

When I first joined Reddit I remember thinking the conversations on there were more insightful than on other sites. Recently it's been the exact same poor quality of content. Since the exodus (in the couple of threads I've lurked) I've noticed it's got FAR worse in such a short period of time.

Yesterday I checked in on Reddit and read some comments under a video of an older man getting called out for taking creep shots of a girl in public. A good ~50% of the comments were saying he's allowed to take photos in public ??? It was honestly disgusting.

Much like Reddit was in the early days. I think bots are a real problem and presumably nobody is making bots for Lemmy yet if that is even possible.

Lemmy has a massive botswarm problem right now

However they are simple and stopped by captchas and easily detected with email verifications.

I’m a new convert to Lemmy. It feels a lot like old reddit before it hit the mainstream and the digg exodus. I hope it stays like this.
