The difference is that Lemmy is a social platform and Reddit is a advertisement delivery platform, by which it has joined the ranks of other so called top-tier "Social Platforms" like xitter, facebook and instagram.

Yeah definitely, The post isn't to shit on Lemmy. I find it more of a home here than whatever reddit was

xitter

The only good way to spell that platform's name. Love it!

Yet Reddit suppresses discussion of lemmy…

Pandantic@midwest.social · 8 pts · 255d

If Lemmy was Reddit’s ex, it would rip Lemmy out of all its photos.

ramble81@lemmy.zip · 40 pts · 256d (4 replies)

I’d actually argue they do. Look at how often posts and comments mentioning Lemmy get removed. If they didn’t care about them, they’d leave them up like they didn’t matter.

The actual users don't think about Lemmy because the admins won't let them know it exists.

starman2112@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 255d (2 replies)

I have never had a comment mentioning Lemmy removed

Bazell@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 255d

It heavily depends on circumstances like when, where, by whom and how was Lemmy mentioned. In some small unpopular communities it has very low chances to be removed. But, if it mentioned in big ones, then it has higher chances to be eliminated. Also, it seems that for now AI can normally process only text data, so mentioning it in a caption will not trigger Reddit AI moderation.

People here desperately need to feel important so they invent a persecution complex.

The reality is most reddit users wouldn't make the jump because they actually like the slop and forced consensus propaganda.

It's really only the oldheads who make the jump to Lemmy because it's more like reddit when they first became a user.

Boy was the Titanic huge. What a marvel of the day and age.

Yeah, a huge bitch

I feel like Lemmy is a flotilla but half of the boats are filled with tankies and half the remainder are Linux bros. The last quarter are actually interesting people interested in a meaningful exchange.

ekZepp@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 253d (1 reply)

Linux bros... those bastards.

😉

turdcollector69@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 253d

I'll take the Linux bros over tankies anyday.

I don't have beef with the Linux bros, I just don't have much to talk about with them.

I do have beef with tankies because they're loud idiots.

Accurate, don't forget that Donald Draper is actually a miserable SOB who is not who he's pretending to be

Anyone miss old school forums ? Sometimes I do.

starman2112@sh.itjust.works · 14 pts · 255d (2 replies)

I just want a version of Reddit where the average user a) is human and b) knows how to read, or a version of Lemmy where the average user a) isn't a Leninist and b) knows how to read

Bazell@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 255d

Sadly, but you have described an issue solvable only by time or interdementional travel. And we don't have both. 🙁

LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 254d

I upvoted your comment solely for "a) is human"

I don't know what you mean after that. I'm pretty sure reddit & lemmy attract people who enjoy reading. And Leninists? What are you talking about?

TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 255d (1 reply)

Yes, but the UI in og forums are not great. Better UI and accessibility is the number one appeal of Reddit.

daannii@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 255d

You didn't enjoy the challenge of going through 30 pages trying to follow a "replied to " conversation mixed in with 6 other "replied to" conversations? 😅.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 256d

or number of users on a specific instance?

Revan343@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 255d

That's presumably on that specific instance

Korne127@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 256d

Accurate

Dicska@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 256d

I think the main cause is the time aspect. Like the lemming above, I'm missing the old Reddit. The bottom half of the picture is the (somewhat) new reddit. But yeah, I'm aware it hasn't changed overnight only 1-2 years ago.

ZeroGravitas@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 255d (1 reply)

I don't miss it. I clicked today on a reddit search result after a long while and ended up on an AI generated search thing that was trying to be helpful. Noped the hell out.

krooklochurm@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 255d

The front page is just brainless video link after brainless video link.

DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social · 3 pts · 254d

The context of that scene is that he does, in fact, think about him and just got done being a petty vindictive bitch.

So, yeah, about that dynamic which is why Reddit bans discussion about Lemmy.
