I stopped going to Reddit for the most part when RIF died. I only hit r/ukraine now because of whats happening there and its one of the best to get information. If there was any where else I could go, then Reddit would be dead to me.
Funny enough, my phone told me on Sunday that I used it 9 hours less than I had the week before, which was down about 4 hours. So I really need to thank Spez for giving me that much of my life back.
I’m just glad some mods are smart enough now to realize that putting subs in nsfw mode is the way to go. The subreddit shutdown, John Oliver spam, etc, really didn’t accomplish anything. Like, why would Reddit admins even care you’re spamming John Oliver? You’re still getting them ad revenue.
apparently reddit has been cracking down hard on that measure, and lately they even unilaterally set every sub back to sfw, after threatening moderators with vague consequences if they start posting or approving nsfw to justify the label
Great, permanent nsfw worked. Their next move is to run an active campaign to get people out of Reddit and onto better alternatives. That’s all that’s left now.
Maybe some bigger subreddits are dying, but the UFOs and Experiencers subreddits are as active as ever, if not more. I guess these remain big there because these subjects are very censored in other social media (e.g. youtube) and never show up in search results (they show only videos from tv news). Reddit also censors them (e.g. some posts that contain more info than usual), but you can still see these posts when you go to these subreddits directly.
Americans are the only people that give a shit about that stuff it's so weird. Everywhere else it's as fringe as like flat earth morons but for whatever reason UFOs have constant massive interest among americans. I'm convinced it's because US gov is involved pushing it for whatever reasons whereas elsewhere other govs aren't pushing it.
Almost the only category that keeps saying it is being censored to gain credibility lol
It doesn't seem like it's actively collapsing but there is definitely a slow decline in its early stages. There's a noticeable uptick in the number of bots and they aren't being caught and deleted as quickly. There's also a lot of subtle protest going on such as r/DIY making their automod be as obnoxious as possible. It's still working and there's still content but there's a noticeable pallor over the place.
bad pun dog?
I think it’s also a boom and bust factor here. Take Elden ring for example, that subreddit popped off when the game released and still has a decent yet not nearly as active user base as before. It’s unlikely that cultural influences (aka meme potential) is strong enough currently to move that here to Lemmy. That might change with the exspansion coming out later. I think this example applies to most other organic communities on platforms like Lemmy. There needs to be some type of “buzz” and social interest in a given topic. Over time, I think we will see that happen more and more on Lemmy as well. Reddit was not built overnight and had to undergo the same process taking many years to be as robust on content as it is today.
