Let's build those same subreddits but free and on the Fediverse. Let's see if they move here.
I mean, it's probably for onlyfans-ish porn. So probably they won't want to move here.
They could, but as it currently stands media hosting on the fediverse.... Sucks.
It's obscenely expensive for everyone involved, and scales poorly. It's just not ready to operate at scale at this point.
I'm sure it will get better, but large storage costs are better off being handled by a distributed file-system where a minimal level of duplication is baked in, but the storage load is reasonably spread out instead of fully duplicated on each peer.
There are technologies for this, but they all have their own issues. And tomorrow there will be n+1 distributed filesystems, fragmenting it further.
Is there a list of the most active subreddits which don't yet have a threadiverse counterpart?

Might be an interesting project for Fediverser or [email protected]. Start with the most popular subreddit, create a Lemmy community on an appropriate instance, find mods and contributers (????, profit). Repeat with the next most popular subreddit.

I've started doing that.
But ironically, I have had many posters call me an anti-american, Russian-sponsored employee of a troll farm because I started 10 communities on my first few days here! lmao
I just feel like The Joker in The Dark Knight reading this. The scene where Batman is driving his motorcycle straight at The Joker, and The Joker isn't flinching. They're playing chicken.
Reading this headline I'm like "do it....do it.......c'mon do it, you coward......C'MON!!!! DO IT!!!!"
Because I know that if he DOES try that, it'll be just as big of an exodus as Twitter had when bargin bin Lex Luther bought it.
Do it. C'mon, do it you coward!!!
Gross and also why is this here?
Every time Reddit does something stupid, there is an opportunity to bring more users to the fediverse.
wow someone tell lemmy
why is this here
Because it's relevant?
Don't let a bad thing go to waste, it's a great opportunity to shore up, improve, and accept migrating users with friendliness and openness.
A great time to share the ideology behind decentralized social media.
Also after a week of other posts about this (mostly to other sub's, but still).
They are going to pay those mods, right? Right?
LOL next it'll be you need a Premium Member Subscription to be a mod.
Other than OF-style content, what exactly are they planning to paywall?
In case they want to visit that subreddit: [email protected]
That's a satire article
Lmao gold lounge.
This is what got me to return to Lemmy
Welcome back! How are you finding it this time?
Welcome back
[email protected] has a thread about this for people interested
I went back to check things out for the first time in a while and realized just how awful it is in comparison to Lemmy. It's an incomprehensible clusterfuck of bots and influence campaigns. As long as engagement and new account numbers look good on paper to appease shareholders, I guess.
Not every sub. The ones I use are mostly unchanged
I went on Reddit for the first time in months yesterday on two different occasions. Both times, Reddit kept throwing server error notices at the top of my screen.
Reminder that people did fuck-all to actually try and stop spez from turning Reddit into this dumpster fire
We are here now, so there's at least that
Everyone on this website did something to stop it. Leaving.
Reddit still has over 70 million daily active users. The actions taken were entirely ineffective.
I actually think this might be good, imagine communities that will benefit from the involvement of professionals like therapists or nutritionists (like for stopping to smoke or drink alcohol or losing weight). If it has a market a lemmy alternative for that i think is definitely on the table.
Yeah, on the recycling table maybe. Garbage idea, boooooo
