Its actually a lot if they actively post and comment, or even if they actively upvote, we dont get that many upvotes in general for the top posts, even 100 would be a huge boost

beauty of lemmy is they only banned the community so at least ppl can tell you where to go and how to access it

I was doing that for the first two weeks here and now I dont open it most days

If they have extra money spend some on ads? Prob better to improve seo somehow

They cant ban them all more will always pop up, fediverse Is like hydra

I picked sparrow from vfxmed I think, goat

also grabbed hardlyread.ing and hardlysleep.ing, I love that the fediverse shows the instance name, its just fun

some sort of retry option for the verifcation question might be helpful

First time I made an account I fd up the verification question (didnt even look), took me months to make an account again because I was annoyed I couldnt have that username on that instance because I did It wrong.

leaving reddit led me to some forums that are still active for niche stuff like steakunderwater, lowendtalk, etc. I kind of got used to never leaving that app for anything, didn't realise how bad the shills were and I just assumed the advice was good like it was a decade ago.

The advice these days is not great, I don't think most people active there know what they're talking about and just answer to answer.

its a solid size, on reddit there are so many rules and it feels like screaming into a void when no one comments or views your post lol, it was only good for niche stuff, but lemmys cool because niche stuff hits the front page and everyone commenting tends to be helpful or at least they are not actively trying to be negative/unhelpful.

What also bugged me was some subs would delete your post if it was about like a new game so their mods could post it, everyone was so extra about karma that theyd delete ppls posts to post them themselves lol.

thats how normal social media already is, the algorithim keeps you in a bubble at least here we decide the bubble conciously, algorithims favor controversy and rollercoasters of emotion too

no only those communities, you can still interact with dbzer0 users, just not the piracy communities

I like fedizen too, and threadiverse for lemmy,mbin,piefed, etc. (or when accessing the threadiverse through friendica, hubzilla, etc.)

not a big deal if you're a week or even a month in

Yeah I got reddit flashbacks when I joined and instantly made an account at 3 other instances lol, that post in particular with the downvotes they ignored was the main influence

nope, I just joined a month ago, and made other accoutns because of it, dbzero itself isnt blocked tho

I always hated that reddit goes for roller coaste algorithim, you cant get max dopamine youll be satisfied and youll leave, instead you need the highs and lows from controversy to maximize the amount of ads we see, I was so over it when ads started showing up inbetween comments

Pretty much grabbing just "secure custom fields" since its officially nulled version of acf

If youd rather spend money, buy real debrid, copy and paste torrent link there, direct download from realdebrid servers, if its a movie/show you can watch it there
