Oh that’s not too bad of a workaround, thank you so much!
Transitioning this account to @DudePluto@lemmy.world to help with server load
Oh that’s not too bad of a workaround, thank you so much!
The issue is that some instances are having trouble federating. It took me a while to find my small community from lemmy.world - and when I did the upvotes and comments were all incorrect (many not showing up). Checked on beehaw and couldn’t even find my community
The blackouts may encourage users to go elsewhere, and going elsewhere may help move the needle on this issue. But, the only thing that’s going to stop reddit from going down the path it’s on is stopping the IPO. Let’s face it, any short-term victories will eventually be overcome by shareholder interests.
Plus, protestors leaving the site might actually help reddit at this point. Redditors are notoriously cantankerous and difficult to advertise to. But, it’s becoming less so as mainstream users flock in. As protestors leave the site, the userbase becomes increasingly saturated with apathetic users who are willing to put up with more.
And let’s be honest. Reddit has a lot of users who feel entitled to entertainment enough to get angry, but addicted enough to put up with it. Look at just about any fandom
I can’t even find the community I’m looking for from lemmy.world . I search for !worldbuilding@lemmy.ml and it says no results
I don’t totally understand the fediverse yet. So an instance is basically just a portion of a website on a certain server, right? And all the instances communicate with each other to create one website?
Eh, reddit really isn’t much better in this department. It’s not uncommon for multiple subs to exist for the same userbase (r/memes vs r/dankmemes, r/christian vs r/truechristian). Over time users figure out which is which, which is the main one, and which is for them
Gonna be honest I don’t really understand the Fediverse yet but I’m here cuz it feels cool and reddit kind of annoys me these days
