Since when is lemmy losing users
There’s enough content for me here, and metric FUCKTONS less toxicity; so there’s jackshit Spez could offer, to get me back.
BTW, I detest the repost bots linking directly back to that cesspool. At least provide archive links, just to fuck with Spez’s engagement numbers.
and metric FUCKTONS less toxicity;
Is that true though?
We have huge communities that are either completely unmoderated or have huge swaths of “the mods are asleep” time. And the assholes have picked up on it.
I definitely suffer more verbal abuse on Lemmy than I ever did on Reddit.I’m sticking around for other reasons, but definitely not the warm and cuddly large communities.
No. Lemmy had a lull in toxicity during the fuck Spez rush, but my toxic meter reads way higher here than on reddit (although any anonymous community is going to lean toxic).
Right?
And also, I noticed that when I decide to be a dick (not proud of it, but hey what can you do), I always get away with it. On Reddit eventually a mod wakes up and takes charge.
On Lemmy sometimes the comments just vanish when mods get to them. On reddit I always would get a notice and explanation at least.
On Lemmy, the modlog is not hidden and is open to all.
I don’t know how you’re seeing it on sh.it.just.works, but on lemmy.world it’s a link in the lower right of every page, down at the very end where it says
BE: 0.18.5 Modlog Legal Instances Docs Code join-lemmy.org
To see removed comments you would sort by action. Or if it’s your own comments that are gone, you would sort by user. And then just browse.
It’s sorted by reverse date, so newest are first, but if the removal is within the last day it’ll still be in the first couple of pages.
I also am fairly certain (but don’t quote me on this) that if you want to see the removed comments for a specific community you should access the modlog on that page, to ensure that you’re seeing the modlog for the instance hosting that community and not the modlog for your home instance.
On reddit I always would get a notice and explanation at least.
No, Reddit did not always inform you when they removed your comments; far from it. In the bigger subs it’s actually rare, and anymore they just remove AND shadowban you. Removed comments used to be easy to find, but these days post-APIcalypse you need to run your Reddit user ID through the Reveddit tool to see all your removed comments there.
Losing users is fine as long as a steady core remains. The summer growth was explosive, so some shrinking is expected.
Well even if I wanted to go back to Reddit, I couldn’t use it without a decent mobile app, and all of those no longer exist.
Communities don’t spring up fully formed, they grow over time with many rises and falls in activity along the way. Lemmy is still young and we can all do our part to help it.
And using the mobile web site is a pain in the ass, too. Won’t stop nagging me to use the app. No, I do not want to use your shitty app!
At this point I only use it when a thread comes up in a search result, or occasionally to check /r/buildapcsales
It’s not nice but it works for the couple of times a week I check some specific subs that I want to stay in.
old.reddit might be discontinued. Reddit is already torn apart
Funny enough I downloaded the reddit app this week and created an account again.
Unfortunately theres not enough niche content on lemmy.
But damn do I dislike that app. It consistently pushes me away. Maybe Sync app is the only thing keeping me on Lemmy.
RedReader is almost tolerable, but man I just don’t have the tolerance for the atmosphere of shit that swirls around there like I used to. I’m grateful Lemmy exists as a far more comfy alternative.
