Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! โœˆ๏ธ


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Patumal ng patumal yung rd natin :(

Like I said awhile ago, the community was just an echo chamber. Para sa mga Pinoy, walang resemblance ang Reddit API changes and most of them galing rin sa Facebook na baguhan lang sa Reddit.

yep what the hive mind decide is what the hive mind will follow since nag vote ang hive ng back to normal

But I'm glad I found this fediverse. It is interesting concept we first-handed experience. The current Lemmy helped me minimize doomscrolling on the Internet.

yep it has [prev] and [next] button, glad they're not exploiting us

I used to visit old.reddit back in a day, only read 5-10 threads. With redesigned Reddit, it felt like I was on Facebook noong may account pa ako. I concur my algorithm back then was shit to the core. lol

Well, it's not that there's a whole lot of us here, especially after the otherside has reopened. Also, mukhang tayong mga natira dito ay di rin naman ganun ka-daldal.

However, relatively speaking madada tayo compared to the other country subreddits here.

I'm proud of the fact that we only have 700 subscribers but the community is in the top 5 of most comments. Yung iba nasa 2-3k members but could barely muster half of that.

Nakakatuwa nga eh. Pero minsan parang napapa-"shet, ang ingay natin!" ako, lol!

I haven't crunched the numbers, but I am guessing this community has the most posts per subscriber sa lahat ng lemmy/kbin country communities/magazines.


EDIT:

I did some number crunching on some limited data (All Communities list on Lemmy.world):

From that limited data (just the first handful of pages), sadly, we're not the most talkative country community in Lemmy/Kbin. The Germans has got us beat by a wide margin, and the Canadians are right behind us.

That ranking is based on comments per subscriber though.

[โ€“] decadentrebel 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hindi ko nakita yung Deutschland sa main page ah. They have half our members and just behind a little on comments.

Still, number two is pretty awesome considering it's only a handful of us from r/PH.

Di ko rin gets kung anong default sorting method na gamit for the community list (both all and local), but I checked just now and it's near the bottom of the first page here.

And yeah, I think it's not bad at all.

[โ€“] decadentrebel 5 points 2 years ago

Tbf, mahina talaga RDs natin pag weekend, kahit nung sarado pa kabila. So, not surprised at all na career low yesterday now that the bulk of our members made a beeline back in there earlier this week.

It'll be interesting how post-June 30 plays out, though. Will more people migrate here or come back? Maybe. I'm not so sure the Lemmy mobile apps provide a better experience than the native Reddit app for them to abandon ship.
