I don't think spamming Reddit with Lemmy links will do much besides paint a picture of Lemmy users as obnoxious. I'd rather have Lemmy differentiate itself as more than just a Reddit alternative by offering something different and have the users come on their own. It's not about quantity for me, but quality. For example, I'd love to see some communities that focus on long-form discussions and heavy moderation to promote a more nuanced debate. I'd also love to see some media outlets host and moderate their own Lemmy instances to try and move the debate away from Facebook and the likes.
The Lovely Bones. Haven't actually read the book, but that movie was a painful experience to get through. Peter Jackson knows how to do special effects and spends over two excruciating hours showing off all of them, even though they add little to the story which could have been told in less than half the time.
This. It costs money, but on the other hand it is FAST, looks good and ad-free. You also have the ability to block spammy domains so they just don't show up in results.
I actually don't have a problem paying for online services. I host my own email, I pay for Kagi search and I do monthly donations to Mozilla and Wikipedia. What I have an issue with is services that start out as advertisement based and then introduce paid plans, because now you still have all these shitty mechanics just for driving up engagement which results in unhealthy incentives for content creators and rabbit holes. I want a service that is for YouTube what Kagi is to Google Search. But perhaps that model is too difficult to monetize, I don't know.
I've also used Kagi for two months and can really recommend it! I switched from Google to DuckDuckGo a few years back, but Kagi is just so much faster and also generally has better results.
