I think that by being part of the change, we will be able to really make a big difference. RIP Apollo
I agree it's a bit much at this point and I'd rather see actual content but your post here is also just talking about reddit instead of contributing content..
No, let's not move on yet. I would like to keep reading posts about reddit for a while.
I'm new, what is fedverse? Is this fed verse? Is lemmy part of something else called fedverse?
My completely unknowledgeable answer based on the week or so I've been here.
Lemmy works as a series of self hosted "instances", basically servers people run kinda like a games server or bitcoin miner.
When you join Lemmy, you picked an instance, that is the server you connect to and get all your data from, the "local" in your list.
This server then talks to and share posts with all the other servers it knows about and is connected to. That way when you query your local instance, it knows all about the other content on the other servers.
The over all cluster of various servers is the "Fediverse", various stand alone instances which share data to create the larger community.
So when the talk about defederating a site, like Threads, they mean cutting that server off from the rest of the community.

Making exact copies of subreddits, then being surprised people can't shut up about Reddit. ~~Reddit~~ Lemmy Moment.
Agree.
Preach
THANK YOU!
Getting fired from that place was the ~sob~ best thing that ever happened to me.
I think we are in a transition phase right now, after some time this kind of "bitching about reddit / twitter whatever" trend will cool down.
Absolutely! Having this great thing in front of you, more lovable and genuine than what you had before, but you do keep on blabbering about the ex who went out for cheap cocktails and a 5-sec-back-alley-hump without lubricants with Steve.
I'd like to complain about people who hold things up by complaining about people complaining. It's about time something was done about it!
I'm in 😎
I had literally the exact same thought the other day. Pretty much every single thread on my front page was bitching about reddit in some way shape or form. Ugh

True
Why not just ignored those posts then? There are plenty of other posts to read.
Expect in the case of these two websites, I kinda WANT to hear people bitch about their ex.
I haven't really looked at anything else.
well, some women will ask a lot of question about your exes...
that's like lemmy asking: "do you regret breaking up with reddit? what did you like about reddit?"
The posts about "What don't you want to see here from reddit?", "What communities did you like there that you want to see here?" Etc, are very helpful I think.
Talking about the over all situation there is a huge news story, and one the majority of us were personally involved on effected by.
Sure I understand wanting other content beyond "Fuck reddit, let me show you where u/spez touched me". There is a whole lot here that isn't that.
Maybe it a bias from learning how the site works, but just in the week or so I've been here I feel there is a lot more content and user engagement.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
