Why is beehaw going it's own way? I mean I kinda understand that lemmygrad might have a different world view, but why the rest?
The trash will still escape Reddit. As evidenced by my being here :)
Ahh didn't even know that existed. Smashing it now. Thanks!
Does tiktok show you better videos when you threaten to leave with the back button?
I've never really used tiktok, but with Reddit shitting the bed it's time to expand my horizons and create a social media "mix"
So yesterday I'm watching tiktok for pretty much the first time having a real go at it, and I noticed when I'm scrolling the videos are all kinda meh, then I click back (to exit on android) and I get a "decent" one, so I hang around and watch it, then scrolling more meh, back, decent video. Is this a thing? I ended up just clicking back to game the system, if I really liked the video I would reward tiktok with a scroll, if it gives me a shit video, back again.
Am I nuts?
Even is Lemmy isn't right, why not have a look around and see if you can replace Reddit with something else, even if it's a mix of stuff.
This is the beginning of the enshittification of Reddit - it's no longer about providing a good user experience, it's about providing a good corporate experience. This means that the content will get worse and worse , and less and less relevant. Stage 3 is where Reddit fucks over the advertisers and starts making bank, and shortly after that with no users and no corporate support it starts to implode..
And then you will need to move off the platform.
Or - you could move off now. Lemmy is ok, the best for chatting. I've been using Imgur for memes but miss NSFW content, and Lemmy is also very NSFW unfriendly. So for me right now it's a bit of a mix.
I'm working on my own content aggregator with the features of Reddit, but in the end it's just for me if nobody gives a damn and that's ok
Nah people will find it. Right now it should be just about growth and then let it specialise from there
We could just get all new users to sign up to lemmygrad

I'm getting the following error reading this post: "item at index 2 does not exist"
Should I post this on stack overflow or some other Lemmy help community?
After trying jerboa I ended up going this route. I keep getting server errors using the pwa though not sure if lemmy.ml just can't handle the traffic or I'm doing something wrong
Agree on the pick a server ... And then approval!
I had almost forgotten about it but I'm glad I came back.
I think maybe the ability to just join a generic starting point and then port your account when you find where you want to be might be a better model, but that will remain to be seen

Interesting analysis of how fox news operates in the states and what can be done about it
Hey @nutomic, so I ended up creating a pixelfed account after looking at what all if this is about and posting there... Since it does both videos and photos and also I got in immediately but still waiting for a peertube account to be approved.
Anyway so I direct linked the MP4 over on [email protected] and there is no preview or indication it's a video. Is there a better way to link them for user engagement? The images show up just fine

If anyone knows how to get video previews to be a thing let me know
I'm surprised to find there are no adult subs popping up.
I hit up my brother in law who is involved in the adult industry and he is going to spin up an instance that's super ok with adult content in the next day or so.
Let's face it, without porn tumbler disappeared, and I think Reddit will too when it bans anything nsfw
Never heard of peertube, wait here, I'm going in
Are you talking about one of these?

We gave one of them to my cat loving sister in law and the removed gave it away to a friend. Like, if you didn't want it I would have taken it. I'm still salty if you can't tell
What's a good video host for Lemmy?
I'm making a community with a bunch of archived photos and videos I have of cats getting pulled along in shoeboxes in a train like formation - I'm calling it CatTrain.
Anyway typically I would host it on Reddit any they would come from v.reddit (after Imgur got all pissy) but I want to avoid using Reddits backend after they also decided to change direction.
What does everyone recommend?
