Lemmy feels like Reddit to me and Mastodon feels more like twitter

so to me they're both decentralized versions of popular social media

i just think of them as my new reddit and twitter since those companies are sitting at their desks jerking it all day

There are actually 3 lol

Absolutely agree.

Memmy is now in the same revered spot that Apollo was, and I feel like all the constant updates and finding new communities has been so exciting that it eases the pain of losing apollo

What you describe as the "issue" is the entire point of lemmy and decentralizing and all that.

once lemmy starts dictating "oh you have to change things in this community in this instance to match this instance" and "everything has to follow one master set of rules" they become reddit.

honestly the best way to solve your issue would just be multireddits, if you wanna see content from both communities just add it to a multilem or whatever they end up calling it.

i was gonna say, i'm using memmy mostly and my upvote is orange, downvote is blue

better than supporting reddit

i would rather deal with a few incredibly minor inconveniences

tbh i have a roof over my head and food in my mouth, so i haven't really thought about the number of swipes i have to make in an app, it just isn't that important

i'm more happy that i have a beautiful client to browse an alternative to reddit

i'll sit here happily and patiently while the devs carve out their path lol

This was really well said!!

I'm here from Reddit and that's what I've been doing, just subscribing to whatever I can find for each subreddit I'm losing, and then whichever one seems like it's either most active or has the most quality content stays and I unsub from whatever sublems aren't providing content.

This OP seems pissed off about subbing to multiple sublems that are the same but like....you don't have to. Go use Reddit? lol

The multiple sublems thing is kinda the point of Lemmy, there isn't one big overlord controlling everything

first was an ipod touch, when i was in middle school i think?

favorite so far has probably been just my iphone, i started with a 5 and now im on a 12 pro max with about 6 months until i can upgrade

i've loved the evolution of ios, and doing the betas and seeing how far it's come i still remember when the first iphone came out when i was in like 6th grade and my friend got one, and we thought the most simple shit was the coolest most futuristic thing we had ever seen

i really do love my macbook pro though. can't say it's my favorite cause i've had an iphone so much longer and i have my whole life on there, but using windows my whole life, then trying a chromebook during my Pixel 3 phase, and then finally getting a macbook has been wonderful

yeah, sublemmy felt like a mouthful but sublems almost sounds like sublime so it feels more natural

just commenting to say i really like the term sublems lol i'm gonna try to start using that

So what you're saying is, Reddit is fucking creators by not compensating them, but when you take that work and repost it without compensation, it's ok?

Besides, the great thing about Lemmy is that it's not Reddit. It has a whole different vibe. I think it's worth maintaining that.

Thank you

I'm getting tired of seeing those comments, it's giving a little bit of condescension, and tbh I don't want to see lemmy communities just turn into subreddits with a list of 30 strict rules you have to check your post against before submitting

It's so unbelievably easy to just scroll past, I truly don't understand people who don't want to see it and could just scroll, but instead expend the energy to open the post and type out a comment instead

I know this technically isn't the right community, but is it hurting anyone? Could we view it as an opportunity to help someone today? Idk people are so into their own little world.

I do, but not nearly as much as Lemmy.

I used to go to reddit for everything. To scroll aimlessly, just to look at aesthetic photos, to read stories...I even had a multi reddit for text based subs, and a third party app on my watch so I could read text based reddit posts at work.

Now, I only go to reddit if i need the resources of a specific sub (earlier i had a question about an app so i went to their sub to browse and see if there was any advice) or if i'm cross posting content to lemmy to get my communities going.

when i just want to scroll and see what's new, ive been coming straight to lemmy every time.

i'm really trying to interact more too.

I use Spotify.

I used to go back and forth a lot but I think I'm sticking with spotify.

I like the design of Apple Music but their recommendations suck.

I find most of my new music by using a button on spotify that's called enhanced shuffle or something. but you click it on a playlist and it will insert random recommendations that you can easily add to the playlist if you like it.

i love it cause it just mixes it in with your regular music so you can really tell if it flows nicely in that playlist or if it kills the vibe a little.

i don't think OP is annoyed by spoilers, they're annoyed by lack of quality comments.

they're saying that all the comments are just repeating what the video already said so they're annoying to read through.

ok i thought i was going crazy, that's the most frustrating thing

i only ever use regular search and image search

if i want shopping results i'll look at walmart or amazon

if i want video results im just searching right on youtube

i don't need a million different tabs

Personally I don't like it because 1, it's redundant when the post is already greyed out, and 2, it draws MORE attention to read posts.

Your eyes are naturally drawn there because it's brighter and looks like a notification, then you realize the post is grey.

Without it, it's simpler. Read posts are dim, unread posts are bright.

Right now, its unread posts are bright and read posts are dim with a bright icon. Everything has something bright so nothing looks different.

Kinda high so I hope I explained that without sounding stupid

Anything at Daiso really. I never need it but I just......need it.

Yes. I have a husband and a 16 year old autistic son (unfortunately he is very low functioning and does not really help with any chores because of that, despite his age).

My husband works 5 to 6 days a week, usually 12 hour shifts, sometimes if there's a 6th day it's 8 hours. I work 8-5, 5 days a week, but also have about a 45 minute commute one way.

Husband also has a large family and we have a pool, so right now at least one weekend day is usually spent hosting them for swimming.

My best strategy right now is that if I walk by something that needs doing and will take a few minutes or less to complete (think throwing away some trash, tidying the coffee table, grabbing all the dishes in the room and moving them to the sink), then I do it right then. It's not perfect and it doesn't take care of everything, but I'm hoping if I do it more, I'll be able to sort of stack things and do two things at once that need doing and then cleaning will become part of my routine.

But honestly I'm mostly here to get tips because my ADHD brain needs help.

Exactly, I don't think we really have any say in whether that happens.

Those channels are just random people trying to monetize content people post for free. Considering that, I personally hope we don't see any of those channels pop up for lemmy, because I feel like the entire point of lemmy is to move away from monetizing the internet, so if people start monetizing content on here, I feel like it could influence the type or quality of content posted, and then we just become another reddit.

and i feel like lemmy could be a better place than reddit. but not if monetization starts creeping in.
