      I mean, it’s probably for onlyfans-ish porn. So probably they won’t want to move here.

          Thanks! I finally took the plunge to investigate Fediverser, and it seems like a really cool project.

          I went through a bunch of my Reddit subscriptions and recommended a bunch of analogous communities.

          One possible bug I found was in the filters. If I set “subscribed” to “yes” and clicked “apply filters” I got no results. Is this expected behaviour?

            Thank you! It was nice to wake up this morning and see like 3 different people adding a bunch of changes to the database.

            You are right about the bug. It seems that depending in some cases the list of subscriptions is not pulled.

              I also found that when I am trying to add a recommended Fediverse alternative to a subreddit, the heading says “Recommended Subreddit” and not “Recommended Community”.

              Curious if I have to add a community to the database in the first place before I can make it a Recommended Subreddit Community, or if it’ll be added if I paste the link into Recommended Community first without any other action (I noticed both adding a community to the database and pasting the link in Recommended Community make me grab the full URL so I was curious).

              You may also want to make the Subreddit field case-insensitive in case of duplicate additions. I unknowingly added a dupe subreddit because the version already there was the subreddit name in full lowercase instead of with the first letter capitalized like I saw it in the Reddit URL and the sub sidebar.

                Thank you for the feedback. I’m pushing now the fix for the typo. I will take a look at the issue with casing now.

                  You might want to put where we can communicate with you somewhere. I was looking around on the site for a Contact Me form and did a few searches to find the source code online so I could make an issue (think “site:github.com fediverser”) and didn’t find you. I’m lucky you were here today.

      Let’s build those same subreddits but free and on the Fediverse. Let’s see if they move here.

      I’ve started doing that.

      But ironically, I have had many posters call me an anti-american, Russian-sponsored employee of a troll farm because I started 10 communities on my first few days here! lmao

    I just feel like The Joker in The Dark Knight reading this. The scene where Batman is driving his motorcycle straight at The Joker, and The Joker isn’t flinching. They’re playing chicken.

    Reading this headline I’m like “do it…do it…c’mon do it, you coward…C’MON!!! DO IT!!!”

    Because I know that if he DOES try that, it’ll be just as big of an exodus as Twitter had when bargin bin Lex Luther bought it.

    Do it. C’mon, do it you coward!!!

    I went back to check things out for the first time in a while and realized just how awful it is in comparison to Lemmy. It’s an incomprehensible clusterfuck of bots and influence campaigns. As long as engagement and new account numbers look good on paper to appease shareholders, I guess.

    @Five

    I went on Reddit for the first time in months yesterday on two different occasions. Both times, Reddit kept throwing server error notices at the top of my screen.

    I actually think this might be good, imagine communities that will benefit from the involvement of professionals like therapists or nutritionists (like for stopping to smoke or drink alcohol or losing weight). If it has a market a lemmy alternative for that i think is definitely on the table.

        I disagree. The Reddit community at large is a bunch of spiteful shitposters who’ll spin anything and everything you put infront of them. They’ve done this for years.

        In my experience lemmy users are worst on average , but maybe it depends on what kind of sections of lemmy and reddit you use.

        There are other places out there that are more knowledgable and credible than Reddit pretends to be.

        the benefits of communities of practice for learning are documented in research, in terms of communities of practice for self improvement for example i found nothing better then r/selfimprovement (and i spent a fairly large amount of time trying to find one). It’s very helpful when people just share what helped them.
