I won’t download your stupid app : memes

[-] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 321 points 10 months ago

I just don’t use Reddit at all anymore.

[-] DeathWearsANecktie@lemm.ee 88 points 10 months ago

Same. I don't miss it. I'm really enjoying Lemmy and the fediverse!

[-] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 31 points 10 months ago

/c/Risa is all I need.

[-] gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago

I never knew how much I needed Star Trek memes in my life until Stamets and The Picard Maneuver graced us with their presence. Walk with the prophets, my child.

Still, when I'm looking for a solution for a specific problem, reddit is basically the only reliable source at the moment.

Wish there was a quick way to search for posts across all instances using search engines.

[-] scifu@lemm.ee 22 points 10 months ago

Reddit has years of community data. Lemmy will get there one day as long as we keep at it.

Same. But I do miss it.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 34 points 10 months ago

I miss some content but lemmy has been getting better and better, and after Boost for lemmy I won't ever come back to reddit.

I did at first, but I don't miss it at all anymore. Too many assholes at this point. It stopped being useful a long time ago. Finding old Reddit threads can be helpful sometimes, but current Reddit is a shitshow.

[-] TheSanSabaSongbird@lemdro.id 15 points 10 months ago

I miss the niche content. Lemmy isn't big enough yet to have sorted into big "stupid" subs vs smaller niche subs that tend to attract smarter and more well-informed users. The result is that the signal-to-noise ratio on Lemmy still kind of sucks and any comment thread is likely to consist of three quarters banal gibberish and condescending idiocy and maybe one quarter actually intelligent, thoughtful and informed opinion.

I rarely make a comment on Lemmy without pissing off people on all sides of any given issue, which tells me that Lemmy's users aren't really good at nuance or complexity.

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 35 points 10 months ago

When looking something up, especially technical product information the best answer is still often a reddit link. That will change in the future but it will take time.

Old.reddit is the only way yo access this information without account but i paradoxically cant wait for them to shut it down cause the quicker reddit completely dies the faster other places will become knowledge hubs.

Wait until you need to read an answer to a technical question which was only answered on Reddit. Can't wait when such pages will be replaced with Lemmy.

There are some communities that just don't exist on Lemmy.

Sadly some of the more specific subs didn't migrate to Lemmy :/

I recreated a few of my favs. Nobody posts. ☹️

LPT: Don't use reddit because it's a fucking dumpster fire.

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 10 months ago

You think we're any better?? I think the whole internet is a dumpster fire, and that's the way it should be.

[-] FARTYSHARTBLAST@sh.itjust.works 70 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yes: Dumpster fire or not, Lemmy is definitely better than reddit. No question.

[-] soggy_kitty@sopuli.xyz 29 points 10 months ago

It's more of a recycling bin fire

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 19 points 10 months ago

Compost fire (yes they can ignite).

It isn't about being better trash, it's about who controls the dump. I want to be able to view all trash in the way I choose. Not certain piles of trash that I'm forced view in a way that I can't choose on my own.

[-] Fridgeratr@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

Yes!! We're not perfect but we're MILES better

Same. Their reasoning and the warning in general make no sense. Why would it be safer to view “unreviewed content” (wetf that means) in their app vs a browser?

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 92 points 10 months ago

Because the app is so packed with ads, you won't be viewing any content anyways.

[-] EmergMemeHologram@startrek.website 41 points 10 months ago

I despise whoever made new Reddit. You can only view comment chains two levels deep in new Reddit, then replies at one level, which means you need to constantly keep loading a new page and ads to see each reply in a thread.

Who the hell thought of that? It’s a horrible UX.

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 21 points 10 months ago

Lol that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. But I can tell you who thought of it, easily. The people optimizing the ad revenue. UX isn’t their focus, but boosting profits is.

Changes to reddit are what brought me here. Once old.reddit.com disappears I will be completely done with it.

If Lemmy was better for Porn Reddit would’ve been abandoned by now.

The sad thing is that this is the reason they're planning to shut down oldreddit

[-] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 31 points 10 months ago

I stopped using reddit on mobile after the api debacle. Once old reddit is done, I won't be visiting on my desktop either. The redesign is and always has been trash.

The day they kill old reddit will be the end of reddit for me.

[-] gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

The day they kill old reddit will be the end of reddit itself. A lot of moderators depend on the older interface (along with RES) to manage their communities. Imagine trying to mod with reddit's current interface.

Wtf does "unreviewed" even mean? Are they waiting for some board to approve communities now?

It's basically corporate speak for "fuck you use our app"

A big part of getting you to use their app is to data mine EVERYTHING about you. Unlike a web browser with an ad-blocker, an app can collect your location, location history, your call logs, your contact list and serve up unlockable ads.

Stop using reddit

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 16 points 10 months ago

Tell that to all the amateur porn creators! Lemmy is severely lacking content in that category unfortunately

[-] CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

https://lemmynsfw.com is growing pretty quick, though the number of reposts is pretty high.
