It's the right community. I guess this would also work on [email protected]

PSA: make an effort to comment in non-reddit stuff too in c/[email protected]

I agree with the "Edit:" part.

Hello! A lot of people are discussing the recent Reddit changes (I'm also a Reddit refugee), but I think there are some reasons why a mass exodus from Reddit won't be good for Lemmy:

  • servers would crash The reddit "hivemind" would move to Lemmy The shitty jokes would continue here
  • just check r/redditmoment. Do you want that to become c/lemmymoment?
  • right now the community here is big enough that there are enough posts to keep us entertained, but small enough to get to interact multiple times with the same people and not get drowned in a sea of posts/comments The Lemmy community rn is also formed of at least mildly tech-savvy people (that could figure out the whole instances thing), that isn't the case for Reddit

As some people mentioned, many people will just forget what happened after the blackout (unless it becomes permanent), so a mass exodus also seems unlikely.

What do you think about this?

EDIT: I'm not talking about denying every Reddit application, I just hope the annoying redditors go back into their hole, just like @JTurtle said.

How do you older Lemmy users feel about the large influx of reddit users? in c/[email protected]

I tried to make an account last year but got bored waiting to be approved :/

What distro(s) do you use? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Well, I can have the config for the Pi in my dotfiles repo, just like my PC. Also, it's reproducible and declarative, so if my SD card breaks, I can install NixOS on another one, switch to my config, and be up and running again.

I personally use NixOS (unstable) on my PC and openSUSE Tumbleweed on my laptop (didn't have time to switch it to NixOS).

I also use NixOS on my Pi 4

do you think the fediverse could replace popular social media in c/[email protected]

Probably, since it's decentralised people can just move to another instance if the mods on theirs abuse their power.
