  • Since the Digg migration, when was that, 2010?

    Since Reddit’s APIcalypse the content of that site has gone to the drain. It is very clear that power users are no longer posting quality content. I am much more amused by Lemmy than Reddit nowadays, though it’s true that it has that new car smell and the communities will keep growing and reforming from the Reddit ashes.

    I don’t think Reddit will disappear, but it’s not the same site it was two months ago, that’s a fact.


  • Like most people I stopped using libraries in the early 2000s with the advent of the internet. And up until recently I still used to buy or download books I wanted to read. But I’ve rediscovered local libraries and they’re awesome. Since almost nobody uses them they have increased lending limits and most books are always available. You can basically enter the library with a box and fill it with books to take home and read. They now recognize me at the front desk and it’s awesome.








  • I agree that it can be problematic to see some weird stuff on All, but defederating is a red button that affects everybody in the instance, and I don’t like that. I enjoy seeing new stuff, and people can use the “block” button liberally.

    However it is true that Lemmy still lacks some fine grained controls for users. I am positive that they will be implemented soon, so meanwhile we are living in this very early transition period where random shit can and will appear on our All page and we need to live with it (or use block a lot)
