Shall we embrace cross posting?

Shall we have links in our bios if we have accounts on both? Is anyone here actively using both at the same time? How’s it going?

Any advocacy on the sub-reddits by cross posting lemmy threads/comments and maybe doing more?

Or we just ignore each other?

    One of the most annoying things about Mastodon during the Twitter migration at the beginning of this year was that the only thing Mastodon wanted to talk about was “the Birdsite.”

    It sure would be nice if we could get through that phase of the Reddit migration at a vastly accelerated pace.

      I’m fine with the site being a black sheep, but most of us are refugees. We are going to have growing pains and people will trickle/stream in over time. The best way to ensure the fedverse dies before living is to make talk about Reddit a taboo or a thing to ridicule. People are going to complain, just don’t engage and over time it’ll die out.

      At the moment I personally welcome cross posting. I’m dying for content right now. Haven’t found a lot of mags to join. I would start some but I would be shit for modding or content creation.

        We need to make a request to the devs to autocorrect “Reddit” to “Cabbage” just to spice things up a bit.

          Can we do John Oliver instead?

          “Shits really gone downhill on John Oliver since all the subs started only posting pics of John Oliver”

      This is going to happen again in July when the 3PAs die. Allowing people to vent about reddit will make them more likely to want to spend more time here.

    Regardless of how everyone feels about Discovery, remember how the crew had to leave behind all their families, friends, and loved ones for the greater good when they were flung 1000 years into the future? I think that’s us.

    Shall we embrace crossposting? – Absolutely. Most content on Reddit is crossposted from god knows where. It’s how sites like this work.

    Shall we have links in our bios? – Depends. I certainly won’t-

    Advocacy? – I was never active enough over there to speak to that, but… up to you. I’m waiting to hear that speaking of alternatives has become a bannable offence.

    Ignore?

    – I think that’s wrong. See 1 as for why.

    I think it should just be a personal choice. If you want to interact and reference reddit, great. If you want to stay off reddit, great.

    Personally I’ll be staying here and not going back to Reddit. I’d been winding down my use of Reddit recently anyway so the blackout was just the little push I needed to delete my account.

      Ditto. I was looking for a reason to bail from Reddit, then they gave me a really great one. I wanted out of my main account because it was my 1st+2nd initial and last name, and there was no way to change it. I didn’t like that info being front and center. So I was looking for an out anyway

      I’ve begun over the past few months to curate my reddit to a point where there is no all, no popular, no hey you might like XYZ. On PC and in my app.
      So I’m a bit annoyed that this has to start all over again. But it me good to start somewhere smaller and new, without algorithms that fuel your anger anyway.

    Post on fediverse first, then screenshot it and share with other socials saying it’s from lemmy or wherever in the headline. Maybe even say which community it’s from. And it could be a watermark of some kind too.

    The more people are aware of the fediverse communities, the more they might check it out and just leave reddit entirely.

          well, that’s not my fault, when they don’t want to host post with links to useful information

            Nope, not your fault. But if we want to help people migrate from reddit to the fediverse then it’s an obstacle we need to be aware of.

              the idea was more, that more people will migrate, when it’s obvious that Reddit removes posts with useful information. so people would look directly at the resource - Lemmy.

              was just written a bit harsh

      Agreed. But if you post a link to the website or article directly and not to reddit I think it can jump start activity here.

      Escaping to Romulus when the purported followers of Surak became rigid and demanding in their pursuit of an ordered technocratic society, to an intolerable degree. We leave the hallowed halls of our ancestors: their katras, their monuments, their desert cities. We arrive refugees, but here at least we can build a new republic where power is willingly shared.

    There isn’t much OC in Reddit posts. It’s strength has always been as an aggregator with community discussions. I think repost the original sources but not the Reddit links.

    Eventually our technology and civilisation will surpass them and we will have to consider if they have achieved the required maturity to join our Federation. Until then we should observe and keep our presence secret.

    I am going to keep my reddit for the time being but try to see how I can go with using purely Lemmy, and learning how it all works.

    If it becomes appropriate to mention in subreddits that this is a viable alternative, or there is already a parallel server, then I don’t think there’s harm in letting people know and letting them decide, I won’t however be blatantly advertising it

    Personally, my goal is to set aside the time to post or comment on the most interesting, informative, helpful tutorials that cannot be found here. To scrape reddit data via RSS and if it’s interesting and not on lemmy or kbin see that it is mirrored here, so that it has the same plus more content. Getting lemmy and kbin results to show up in search results. If there is a way to improve the webui I would like to be part of it, if not the development part then at least the conversation. I’d donate $$s to make this place look and feel better than it does.

    But posting on reddit…I had already stopped or reduced posting due to how often I was downvoted for not following the grain, or my replies not showing up or being deleted automatically. Some forums telling me I could not vote because my karma was too low but karma always getting deducted because I didn’t think the same way as the majority subreddit. Here is the first time where I haven’t been less afraid to speak…where I can be upvoted/downvoted and it doesn’t even matter. Reddit is dead to me, and I will never cross-post interesting information to it except to say come join us in developing an alternative - and I can’t even be bothered to do that.

    Reddit feels like addiction to me, while the fediverse feels exciting and like I’m having real conversations with people.

    I have popped on to Reddit a couple of times to help with a couple of subs I’m a part of but god it’s just trash over there to me now…I really don’t want to be there. I deeply resent what they’ve done to it over time.
