This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I'm not on Reddit much these days but every time I am and I see threads with people discussing these Reddit policy changes Lemmy gets mentioned. Usually with people complaining they already tried or couldn't figure it out or that it isn't good enough...
I think as the enshittification marches on they'll be some more exodus from Reddit but generally I think everyone is just getting used to all online social media being a total corporate disaster.
I just joined yesterday because of this article. Honestly I feel like I’m using Apollo to access Reddit again. My Reddit account was 12 years old and I deleted it.
Welcome friend. :)
Wave incoming
In order for lemmy (or any alternative) to really take off, efforts need to be made to mass migrate content. The biggest inhibitor of adoption is the lack of communities, and the user submitted info backing them. Not only would it be beneficial for alternatives to have this on their servers, efforts should be made to index and back up the mountain of how to and general hyper specific sub reddit information for the good of society. The world already lost so much during the last purge of users comments and posts, further enshitification of reddit will only lead to more getting lost. Are any groups working to scrape all (or the most important data) from reddit and break it out in a searchable format here?
That is something that some tech savy Lemmy users could already easily do. I repost stuff from all over the web. But some systematic preservation of good old subreddits aught to be automated.
It does seem like a lot of ads for "3% of inventory". I can't ever see a reason to pay for a subreddit.
It’s crazy how everything slowly turns into shit in the end
Kholer, American standard, and other toilet manufacturers are scrambling to match Toto's ad popularity in "the go" ad business.
If you've changed your extractor fan recently, you might have come out of the restroom humming something new or maybe something familiar like the McDonalds jingle. But such feats of advertising have never been part of the true #2!. Things like bidet splash modulation... Lara papa pa!!! Right in the butt! Or flush ads! A display banner integrated on to the flush tank, and if you open the lid you'll get ads around the bowl and in the back of the lid.
Clorox is coming up with a brad new cleaning chemical family. If you forget to clean you'll be presented with scum in the shape of the clorox logo and the proper code and link to Amazon.
Oh yes please! Enshittify the one and only sanctuary we believed we had!
Another day of thanking my past self for leaving
Ok tidy up this place. We have visitors coming soon.
Still no frictionless account migration...
What's to migrate other than your name? My reddit usage was limited to lurking so I genuinely don't know.
The announcement is why I created a username here. I doubt I'm coming alone.
Welcome! We can definitely still use a few more people, especially if they’re willing to contribute to content.
well Hexbear is just about gone so that should help
great timing for them to lose both of their domains
great, hopefully more people leave the sinking ship
