Why a mass exodus from Reddit won't be so good for Lemmy

    Hopefully the annoying redditors go back into their hole like you said, and those who want to preserve the Lemmy "culture" (like you and I) stay.

    I'm not saying that the new Lemmy users should go to Reddit, I'm talking about the average (annoying and cringe) Reddit user not using reddit (or not visiting those subs) during the blackout (possibly also having an existential crysis in the meantime), then returning to their usual life in the basement.

  • 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.

    Better than every user from Reddit coming to Lemmy, for a few reasons:

    • 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

    What version of nixpkgs do you use?

    Hello, I was wondering what version (23.05, 22.11, unstable, etc) of `nixpkgs` you use. I personally use `unstable`, and it's never broken. Edit: I also have a `master` input in my flake, which I added just for XIVLauncher (context: someone made a PR to fix it not building, and it got merged into master, but last time I checked it wasn't backported to unstable)

    Hello, is there a way to block post from a specific instance (Lemmygrad) to prevent them from showing up on my feed? Thanks!
