But there’s not many current users over there to answer them. If you still have a reddit account and are willing to help some folks out, please consider doing so!
I appreciate folks making the effort to help over there. I nuked my 12-year-old account and try not to give them any additional traffic, but onboarding new folks is probably one of the best arguments for activity there
wish we could somehow transfer reddit history, but reddit legally owns our posts and identity
Archive.org has it all saved
reddit legally owns our posts and identity
(Laughs in web scraping)
its in their rules, they own everything youve posted and your identity that you use on the site
Be sure to let them know the Fediverse is kind of like the Marvelverse. Except instead of being a universe of Marvel, it’s a universe about Kevin Federline! The Fediverse!!!
…I just realized that joke is so old that it’s not culturally relevant anymore. Nobody knows who K-Fed was…or cares.
Dammit! It’s a funny joke if this were 2006!
That’s okay Dad! I’m sure that one from 2007 is gonna kill….
Nah. 2007 was the year “The Big Bang Theory” began airing. Clearly not a good year for comedy.
Bananza!
Found this out from that subreddit: https://dansup-open-letter.github.io/
That’s very interesting. It did change my view of dansup.edit: just like the comments said, most points seem to be exaggerated and mostly bs upon a closer look.
My personal view on this is Dansup absolutely suffers from the instinct of not open sourcing stuff until it’s fairly late in the stage of being an MVP, but I think that’s largely because he’s learning these technologies as he goes and is afraid of criticism on that front. Personally, however, I do not think it is the case that he does not believe in the Open Source project. I also trust him when he says he’s working towards a nonprofit to distribute the load. It seems his first steps are to get funding via kickstarter to quit his job, and then I imagine organizing a nonprofit structure is next.
As the author said in the website, saying a platform is open source when you haven’t even released the source is nothing but wrong. And that is not the only thing he has done it seems.
I personally can’t take his apologies seriously after his cocky harassments.
Most of these devs would have cried if they met Linus Torvalds in his prime.
I feel like the default view should be “All”.
Also it would be nice to be able to view “All” for a community that shares the same name across all federated instances.
I didn’t see the Reddit link for a second so I’m like is this the fediverse Community commenting about how many people are talking in the fediverse community.
The concept of that made me chuckle
Quite unfortunate. I still have my account, but in 2023 I swore never to post or comment on Reddit ever again. Their loss, but I’m happy to welcome anybody to Lemmy that has taken the plunge. I know we need messengers/recruiters to grow, and I’m happy for everyone going there on our behalf, but I am sticking to my vow.
Theres just a niche subrddit for everything, thats its one pro, but then you realize everyones just showing off and gatekeeping or trying to sell you something
And bots! Lots of bots!
Sure. I’ll head over and see if I can’t help out after I get off work.

Joining the fediverse isn’t hard. If you can’t figure out the onboarding process, it’s because you were looking for a reason to not join.
i remember that for me the only issue was which instance to join, just because i didn’t understand instances. Could you see other instances, do you have to create a username on each, Is you username automatically on all of them. Can every instance see your posts, etc… I don’t blame some people for being scared to switch to something new after spending a big part of their life somewhere that they got used to and build a “community”.
