Same here! I feel like the problem with Reddit's established community is that most of them have found an "identity" and developed a "lingo" / "jargon" of their own. Like if you're not "innit" then it becomes harder to minge then there's this influx of downvotes making it very hard to wanting to take part without... lurking a shit ton. (like Stack Overflow mentality lol) Feels like threading thin ice sometimes. With a novel community like this one, where rules are yet to be set in stone, it feels... freer?

I mean, it still is very fun to lurk and digesting new content, but starting up posts on your own can also be a lot of fun. There's also a lot of bot/stalker behavior in Reddit which might minimize the incentive to be creative. With the smaller fediverse communities (especially closed/invite-only sign ups) it might be easier? I'm just speculating though...

Anyway, I'm happy that you are feeling more at ease being by posting more, keep it up!

Still no feature to expand/collapse comment :(...

Urgh it's so annoying that the instance I'm on cannot seem to load lemmy.ca but no problem with lemmy.ml... not sure what's going on... thanks for the cross-posting.

Two, but only because I can't log into the other fediverse instance that I've registered (sh.itjust.works).

My list

Funsies & Weird brainstorming

• /r/competitiveoverwatch aka /r/cow (I don't play the game but I sure enjoy the juice)
• /r/hobbydrama (very diverse type of juicy dramas, miam!)
• /r/overwatchTMZ (/r/cow but extended)
• /r/valorantcompetitive (same reasoning for the OW one)
• /r/livestreamfail (don't post there; but is fun to occasionally lurk and see funny stuffs and be up to date with the latest online juicers)
• /r/anarchychess
• /r/singularity
• /r/BestofRedditorUpdates
• and 20 more cute animal pictures/videos subreddits like /r/partyparrots, /r/happycowgifs, etc.

Stuffs I use for er..... productivity! yeah yeah productivity, that's right!

• /r/obsidianmd I enjoy seeing other people's workflow and new tools being developed
• /r/chatgpt (Recently the main sub went to shit with the influx of new users so /r/chatgptcoding or /r/chatgptpro might be better lol)

Subreddits that I often get led by Google search engine and it would be sad if they were to go down perpetually since I would have a very hard time without them...

• /r/homelab
• /r/automation
• /r/selfhosted
• /r/datahoarder
• /r/android
• /r/sysadmin
• /r/kitchenconfidential
• /r/appliancerepair/

I'm also very interested in how some different jobs work so I subbed out to these to check on them occasionally... and they sometimes would provide interesting workflows/insights that I can a-hem, take inspiration from...

• /r/ExperiencedDevs/
• /r/accounting
• /r/uxdesign

There's way more but I visit those a bit less, the problem is, I'm not sure if Lemmy can fill the void in my heart but if it does for those main ones (all above) then I think that I can permanently migrate from Reddit.

Yeah I just had to create an account at 3AM while being half asleep... I have given up on the dev/community (seeing the thread is not getting enough traction and it's full of shitposts at the moment on the frontpage) and is now using sh.itjust.works through kbin.social (which as I verified, has no such issue---and that's the beauty of the fediverse, just log in through another instance lol!). Maybe I will log into my sh.it.head account once they fix it, but at the current moment if they don't even acknowledge this bug (as I'm aware of atm) then how can they do so?

I feel like the concept of "decentralisation" is good for the consuming users and people who want to discuss an interesting topic/subject, but not really for OC/content craetors... They just want their work to be as exposed to as many people as possible (exposure -> more clients -> bigger brand/value -> profit???), and defederalisating goes against that principle.

Uhhhh I read your title as "futaverse"... a-hem.

So in order every single Fediverse instances, I'd have to include all of them? It'll be more fun if something that can exist to globally search every instances (and give us filter to opt out of some that the user do not enjoy) instead of making it a long long string like site:kbin.social + site:lemmy.world... Like kind of how greasyfork is doing with their search engine, I like it.

Wouldn't this just encourage SEO clickbaits more though? Also, a lot of these blogs can die over time, so it's also not the most reliable (like the owner can die or the domain providing service has expired or some shit). Also, how can this solve the problem of confabulated misconceptions (let's say that there are blogs that are feeding misinformation)? Without a moderating system, a comment section that can exist to engage and debunks those statements, and the upvote/downvote system... I think that it's hard to tell reliability of the information. Feel free to debunk my doubts though.

I think that instead of the brute-force solution "Reddit alternative" like the fediverse, I think that we need a transitional period for some people to still access highly pertinent information... which can be potentially be done by self-hosting Reddit, a Reddit clone (much like with dead forums), or all that dataset of Reddit archived somewhere where it's easy for querying and viewing for the end users. Granted, that might take extensive server capacity and violate the TOS of Reddit... (But I can't query nor know anything more about the topic of self-hosting Reddit with the flag site:reddit.com/r/selfhosted because the subreddit /r/selfhosted is private! Oh the irony!)

Seems like how slow-ass and inept the implementation of regulation has being going to be the main problem with all these techs. Bad intention people will always try to spun off the advancement in a money-grubbing, harmful way. Nothing is ever spared.
