Hey folks!

Recent Reddit refugee here. I loved subreddits like r/AskReddit, r/BestOfRedditorUpdates, and r/AmITheAsshole. Are there any communities here that are similar text dumps, and actually populated? It seems like most equivalents just have a handful of posts.

Thanks!

!asklemmy@lemmy.ml (This is the main one)

!asklemmy@lemmy.world (This doesn't get as much posts)

!amitheasshole@lemmy.world (This one is dead)

!AmItheAsshole@lemmit.online (This seems active, there are a lot of bot reposts from reddit tho. You can view it using archive.is to view the original without giving reddit traffic, or use an adblocker if you are visiting directly.)

Edit: It seems like the AITA replacement is just mirroring reddit. There are not much discussion in the lemmy comment.

Edit 2: Someone below pointed out !aita@lemmy.world is active, yay I love drama 😅 😟

!aita@lemmy.world Seems most active.

The entirety of lemmit.online, is a reddit mirror. That's what the whole instance is for.

lemmit.online was an interesting concept when lemmy didn’t have a lot of organic content, but now it just feels like spam. The OPs are not even aware that their content is being reposted to a different website let alone participate in the discussion on lemmy. I especially feel this for communities that depend on discussions like AmItheAsshole, tifu, nostupidquestions, etc. Having the lemmit mirror confuses new lemmy users.

Lemmyverse.net is a nice way to search for communities. If you press the home icon at the top right you can choose your home instance so you can log in and subscribe to communities in other instances.

Look for them, a lot of those reddit communities have been set up on lemmy as well.

[-] HorseFD@lemmy.buzz 3 points 1 year ago

If you check out lemmit.online you will find bot reposts of reddit threads. Useful until this place gets more content.

!YouShouldKnow@lemmy.world is like life pro tips but actually helpful advice.

[-] aeternum@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

There's asklemmy and askkbin. Maybe you'd find that helpful

[-] tal@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "text based".

You mean with long text posts? Long comments? Just not being memes?

[-] ugh@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

This community is text based. Communities like c/pics are image based. OP wants communities that are focused on discussion rather than sharing images.

[-] _cerpin_taxt_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, exactly! Thank you

[-] HipPriest@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I'm guessing they are meaning communities which aren't image or meme based yeah. But the fediverse seems more focused on text based threads in its formatting I would say (I'm using Kbin but image posts don't really stand out that much more than others, unlike Reddit where images were huge. Can't speak for Lemmy users)

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
