Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. (www-xataka-com.translate.goog)

What are we going to do about it?

Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

Yeah they are shit now. What can we do to move them over to Lemmy?

[-] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 4 points 3 weeks ago

I only heard about lemmy a few weeks ago I bet there's more like me. I think it's just a question of promoting it

[-] tfm@europe.pub 2 points 3 weeks ago

Cool how was the switch for you? Do you like or miss something in particular?

[-] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 weeks ago

I love it! Reddit has slowly been going to shit for years, so many posters are nasty and there's so much hysteria. There's ads and political manipulation everywhere. I miss some of the subs, and would prefer a bit more activity but at the same time posts are far higher quality. Overall I'm really really happy and it's been smooth and welcoming

Nice to hear! Yeah activity is still way lower than on Reddit but it's slowly increasing. :)

[-] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 weeks ago

100% and the good thing is they seem to be really nice people joining

Lemmy is just reddit under different management.

[-] tfm@europe.pub 26 points 3 weeks ago

Lemmy is decentralized. So very different.

[-] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago

Ita lot of reddit under different management. It looks and feels like reddit not like a forum.

[-] tfm@europe.pub 2 points 3 weeks ago

There is no central management on Lemmy. Every instance is managed by someone else. Nobody can decide something for all of Lemmy.

[-] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago

Reddit with different management.

Obvious b8.

I mean sure, do not use the two eyes you have and take a look at lemmy ux vs reddit and vs a forum. lemmy is literally the reddit we have at home. The fact its tons of different reddits we have at home connected is the only difference. Not even bait, this is what everyone normal sees.

What are you talking about?

This is clearly a Digg.

[-] quack@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 weeks ago

Lemmy is a lot of different Reddits under a lot of different managements.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

Lemmy is not a forum.

Forums are structured around activity bumping, not recency and voting. A years old thread can end up back on the front page if someone posts in it. It's just a different medium.

And it's a medium that we need to preserve.
