I think it’s essential to have one or more communities like this. There were a few on reddit – watchredditdie, declineintocensorship, and more. The admins shut them down. I was unsuccessful in getting them to move over to Lemmy.
Absolutely the same things happen on lemmy. It’s to be expected from both mods and admins. We need to have a place we can go to find out “which are the bad communities & instances”.
The main problem I foresee is that those “watchredditdie and declineintocensorship” subs seemed to be well modded and mostly populated with intelligent people. In contrast, lemmy seems to have quite a lot of trolls, unintelligent people, and likely astroturfing. That will make things more difficult.
Thanks for the info!
I may add options to modify the exported data in some ways via a simple checkbox in the future, but I wouldn’t count on it.
The 2nd screenshot https://github.com/StableNarwhal/Lemmy-Userdata-Migration/wiki/How-to-only-export-or-transfer-a-part-of-my-user-data,-e.g.-blocked-instances%3F shows that feature already exists?
What about forking lasim, which is now inactive? https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
It’s better than the built-in option because it gives you more options. For example, if I only want to add blocks from one account to another without overwriting any other settings. I don’t see that your tool allows for that.
The point is to search the whole fediverse, not just one instance.
Here you go https://sh.itjust.works/post/13700601. Most of the votes and comments are pro-reddit. And a user there also mentions another anti-reddit thread that the mods deleted for a pretty ridiculous reason.
A major reddit critic posts to lemmy and they get trolled or astroturfed, and their thread deleted.
Regardless, I’ve done what I can to try to get some communities to move to Lemmy, and they don’t seem interested. So I think I give up for now.
/r/watchredditdie is not going to migrate to /c/reddit communities that are mildly-anti-reddit at best and often have pro-reddit content. I’m hoping they’ll be willing to migrate to a /c/watchredditdie one.
Keyboard nav is not a RES feature I’ve ever used. Tagging is a main one. As is subscribing to threads to be notified of new comments.
there’s an easy removeding solution: fork lemmy and adjust the federation to your liking
Ah yes, very easy. Thanks for the suggestion.
I do encourage people on reddit to come here, but as another reddit mod recently said on lemmy, they’re waiting for improvements on lemmy (like /r/toolbox, RES) before being able/willing to move over.
How would you know no one cares if no one can even see them…
“Inefficient” doesn’t seem important since if there’s no content/activity there then it doesn’t use any resources.
No it wouldn’t? Unless you mean that’s what you think it should do?
Yes, and it seems that the devs have this in mind on their to-do list.
Isn’t it mostly text? Why would that be a heavy burden? Isn’t there an option to disable local hosting of images & videos?
I don’t agree that they are solutions. The only proposed solutions are in the new github issue that someone created.
did you just want to bitch and argue?
I want lemmy to be better. I want it to be a viable alternative to reddit so people will leave that site.
Even your ping idea wouldn’t have worked here
Why not? When the person created the sub it would have sent out a ping to all federated instances, and thus when any account on a federated instance searches the keyword they would find that sub. IE: each instance would have a list of subs of all other federated instances. Like a sitemap.
It’s not too big of an issue if you’re from big instance as people will likely look for more community to subscribe
Yeah that’s what I thought, and I assumed that removedjustworks was big enough to not have to worry about that, but apparently not. So I think this is one of the biggest problems with lemmy right now.
which makes people migrate to bigger instance, and defeat the purpose of having multiple instance
Bingo.
I’m not even subscribed to that, and even if I was, and it was a default subscription for every new lemmy.world user, I don’t think it’s a good replacement for a functional search or an all
that includes all posts from federated instances. I see lots of posts on all-hot
with 0-5 upvotes so it seems fine if it actually showed all communities on federated instances (which it doesn’t).
You should edit the OP too.
