  • I check out reddit every few days and tbh lemmy has the same amount of mainstream content. The only difference is that reddit niche subs are more active.

    I think the fact that anyone can make the same community on a new instance diminishes niche communities more. If I pick a game on reddit ill find 2 or so instances with lots of use. On lemmy there will be 10 communities all mostly abandoned.

    You can feel a difference on reddit though. Quality content and content numbers are greatly reduced from even a month ago.






  • It appears that it is getting close to a full release for Sync for Lemmy. My only concert is that it might go to a subscription only method of payment. I’d rather pay a lot for a one time unlock or even like a 2 year unlock instead of a monthly subscription.

    Im getting subscription burnout and I’m sick of having to juggle literally a hundred subscriptions every month. If it does go subscription based, sadly I’ll probably pass on it. Which would be a sad close to a long history of using sync.








  • I think they dont like the fact that these awards also grant reddit premium to the user who receives them. But they cant just remove that feature of the rewards without killing rewards otherwise they look really bad. So the new award system will just be a community highlight. Maybe something that changes the background color of the post to highlight it on the front page. Like gold background. Then they will allow advertisers to also pay to make their “paid advertisements” also have background colors to generate a dark pattern where they trick you into clicking ads because you think they are awarded front page posts.

    Thats my guess at least.
