People getting sick and tide of Reddit. TBH I’m still salty over them killing 3rd party apps and I’m so glad they did because that drew the line for me, also fuck spez.

They've basically banned anonymous accounts. Their whole thing was anonymity.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

They seem to be blocking access from certain IPs and VPNs (if not logged in?) Which is funny because some of these VPNs are not really hiding anything. Like my work VPN which I would think makes it pretty obvious which company I work for. Annoying when search results link to reddit content.

Reddit has become very strange.

Shadowbanning sucks when your on the other side of it.

Forever mods that have hundreds of default subreddits act like dictators. Banning people from all their collections of subreddits without anyone knowing.

Removing the ability for users to see actual number of votes up/down.

And now with the whole "don't upvotes certain content or you will get a strike". Never mind that isn't how the site works at all.

They haven't come out with a feature that people have wanted in the last couple of years.

Getting rid of coins/rewards just to empty everyone's stock and then bringing them back again without 1:1 compensation and forgetting everyone who gave their coins away before they would vanish

Joined up yesterday and have been pretty happy so far. Have been looking for an alternative so i could ditch reddit since the API changes and had no idea this place existed until i saw a random thread yesterday

[-] Hammerjack@lemmy.zip 32 points 1 month ago

Welcome!

If you're new, I definitely recommend checking out https://lemmyverse.net/communities for finding new communities to subscribe to, rather than just browsing "all". There are a lot of weird communities out there when you just browse "all"...

Welcome! It's a great, homely place that still feels a little bit like the old internet.

In addition to the already mentioned Lemmyverse, two other great ways of finding active communities are !communitypromo@lemmy.ca and !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl

2025 is the year of the Lemmyverse!

[-] AloneYogurt@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

The more people that transition over here the better it'll be (outside of some of some subs). I'm hopeful to see more community engagement.

Greeting new Lemmings!

Please wipe your feet, we don't want anyone tracking in any spez.

[-] mrmacduggan@lemmy.ml 42 points 1 month ago

Subjectively, Lemmy's communities are much more robust and have a lot more content than they did during the Reddit API exodus. I imagine there will be more people who choose to stay this time around.

[-] beanstalk@lemm.ee 25 points 1 month ago

Yep, I discovered let me during the API Exodus, and then came back recently with this last wave. They're definitely feels like there's a lot more here than last time!

Also finding a lot of value in reading and actually interacting with comments and content, on Reddit I just felt kind of drowned out and a lurker

I was fed up with reddit and looking to make a change that won't put money in spez's pocket, arrived a few days ago.

[-] Transtronaut@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 1 month ago

This was me during the APIcalypse. Since joining Lemmy, I have:

  • Realized I'm trans
  • Procured a Steam Deck
  • Started pirating again
  • Been on HRT for over a year and counting
  • Developed a chronic dependency on Yuri manga
  • Lost 50-60 lbs

I hope you have a good time here as well!

2025 is also the year of Piefed. :)

The entire fedi is going up with new users. We keep having wins.

Kinda easy when traditional keeps hitting itself over and over.

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

I suspect the fediverse is stickier than mainstream social media, since there’s no incentive to be anti-consumer, and anyone can make their own frontend.

It’s only a matter of time until these companies keep making unforced errors and people join us.

THERE ARE DOZENS OF US!!

But seriously this is good news and I'm glad to have you all here. Lemmy is in a pretty good position right now in terms of having a critical mass of users and decent traction within popular communities. At the very least it feels self-sustaining here.

What happened around the middle of February that caused that slight but sharp drop-off?

[-] Snoopy@piefed.social 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

For the story, if i recall correctly, part of hexbear admins were aways so they got a paiement problem.

Their domain reseller put a bid for hexbear.net domain. It skyrocketed to 2500$. I'm glad they didn't have to pay those corpothieve.

I am pretty convinced these stats are low because I remember the early years of Reddit feeling much less active than the Threadiverse does now and I have to assume Reddit's MAUs in 2008-9 were at least above 100K.

Regardless, this is nice to see and I recommend everyone check out !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com if they are interested in helping to promote Lemmy instances on Reddit.

On the other hand, Reddit's reported users numbers are way too high for the actual activity on the website. I follow /r/BuyfromEU quite closely since the sub blew up, and it's definitely not that active for a place with supposedly 150k subs

Always happy to see the Fediverse getting more popular! 😃

Ha, I knew setting up my own server would attract more people!!! /s

But it is a great development, happy to see it 😀

[-] jjjjm182@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 month ago

I created an account a while back now, but it’s been mostly inactive since then. I’m liking it a lot more here!

What's an "active user"? Can I just up vote things I like, do I need to leave comments like this, or must I get involved in senseless flame-wars?
