A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah, when Digg did the dumb thing all those years ago Reddit didn't start eclipsing it for another two or three years. This feels very similar to that time tbh. Lemmy will get there, but I imagine it'll take longer due to its fragmented nature scaring some non-techies so I'd guess four years and we'll see numbers to rival Reddit. If you care about that, I kind of like the smaller communities, honestly.
Too bad there's not a RemindMe Bot on Lemmy yet, this would be perfect for that lol
I think you can use the remindme bot on mastodon, although I'll have to check the syntax. Saw someone use it in another thread
I also like the smaller communities in some cases. It's a lot easier to participate and have replies to your questions/comments.
For a few communities though they're still too small to be sustainable and useful. Need more time for those ones. Say LegalAdvice, communities for sales / discounts, or local ones for schools and cities.
Exactly, the only subreddit I still visit is for my local city/metroplex and even then I've set it up as an RSS feed so I don't need to actually go to Reddit. Once enough neighbors are here that RSS feed will be getting cut most likely though. Or until Reddit shuts down the RSS feature.
There is! I don’t remember the name right now, but I remember someone having used it…
EDIT: Not Lemmy, but mastodon - @remindme@mstsn.social
As someone in tech since 2004 I'm so very confused to have zero idea what digg was... Completely missed the boat on that one.
It was just another link aggregation site like Reddit, you didn't miss too much tbh
