I miss when subredditDrama was the go-to source for keeping Reddit transparent in c/reddit@lemmy.world

/r/declineintocensorship and /r/watchredditdie served that purpose more so.

In addition to the bullets themselves, the primer that disperses in your face has lead too. There's a nice graphic here: https://projects.seattletimes.com/2014/loaded-with-lead/1/

Ask on their github https://github.com/fmhy/FMHY/issues. I don't see it listed anywhere, but it should be listed.

we can get random experts chiming in about interesting topics in an organic way

  1. In my experience, many of the people claiming to be experts on reddit are spreading misinformation. This goes for Twitter too, and probably most other large social media sites. People love to be seen as an authority on a topic.
  2. Reddit is anything but organic, and is getting worse and worse in this regard.

There's a github issue requesting this feature.

I haven't observed that on Lemmy or Mastodon.

I block politics subs and have never had an issue with lemmy.ml. All the issues I see are related to politics.

The heavy metals in coal are the most concerning for me.

If you don't like reddit, stop linking directly to it. Doing so makes them show up at the top of search results. (sh.itjust.works)

You should use archive.org or archive.today links.

The best way to influence the Domain Authority metric is to improve your site’s overall SEO health, with a particular focus on the quality and quantity of external links pointing to your site.

You can use the Wayback machine addon to easily get archived links https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wayback-machine_new/.

And a bookmarklet for archive.today:

javascript:void(open('https://archive.today/?run=1&url='+encodeURIComponent(document.location)))

FYI, if you’re worried about archive.today going down and references being lost, you can manually leave in the original URL by adding https://archive.ph/o/ in front of any URL, after you archive it. IE: https://archive.ph/o/https://sh.itjust.works/post/26060585 will redirect to the archived page, if it exists.

Lemmy needs better integration/federation. Too much content is hidden. A community on the biggest instance was not visible to me on another large instance. (sh.itjust.works)
 

I did a search from shitjustworks for "reddit die" and did not find https://lemmy.world/c/watchredditdie so I made https://sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie (unnecessarily). This should really not happen. When someone makes a community there should be a "ping" sent out to notify all other federated instances.

And from what I know, if I post to !sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie only users on sh.itjust.works will see the posts until other people from other instances randomly come across it somehow and subscribe? This really needs to be improved.

WatchRedditDie Discord gets taken down (sh.itjust.works)
 

I don't use Discord, but I don't use any Discord-alternatives either. I think matrix.org would be the main one?

Watch Reddit Die - sh.itjust.works (sh.itjust.works)
 

I saw some weird pro-reddit content on other reddit-themed communities and then !snoocalypse@lemmy.ml went into archive mode, so I decided to make this to keep it clean from any reddit shills lurking in the dark. I'll start by posting some historical content.

By the way, anyone know what might be the most anti-reddit lemmy instance? I'd hate to find out that shitjustworks likes reddit and doesn't want a "watch reddit die" community on their instance.

Help encourage more reddit subs to move to Lemmy! Message the moderators of the subs you'd like to see on Lemmy. Here's an example script. (sh.itjust.works)
 

Moving to the fediverse

Hi guys, are you familiar with the fediverse? It's an open-source reddit-alternative that is owned and run by no one. So it doesn't suffer from the threat of a single hostile entity making drastic, unwanted changes, as we recently saw with reddit, resulting in the side-wide protests.

It would be great to have your subreddit join the fediverse! If you do, I would suggest not using lemmy.world, as it's already the largest instance and it's better to spread things out so no one has too much control.

Info:

You can even create your own instance like /r/futurology and /r/piracy did https://futurology.today, https://lemmy.dbzer0.com. If you do, you may want to seed your community with content https://futurology.today/post/166237.

Once you make a community on Lemmy you could sticky a post in your sub to let your community know, and/or create an automod sticky in each thread.
