Welp it’s July 1st, and I actually had to move from lemmy.world over to lem.ee because that instance is being verryyy overloaded right now, lol.

I’m very new to Lemmy too and I already adore it. I’m really hoping to see lots of the Linux related subs become more prominent over here.

I know it’s unlikely but ask historians, the moderation required is unreal. More realistic would be bestofredditorupdates for all the mindless drama reading.

There was some decent discussion about it, the mods seem to feel the reach is just way too small. Personally I’d love to see a curated ask lemmy instance (ask historians, ask anthropology, etc). I tried to pitch this to one of the main subreddit mods (I forget his name and can’t login to reddit via rif anymore to see, but it is something like Gregor K Rasmun (not that but starts with a G I think and had a middle initial) and we had a bit of a back and forth but seems like no dice, mostly due to reach. They do have a website and podcast at least.

Bestofredditorupdates would be great since they contain all the relevant quotes so you wouldn’t need to click back to Reddit.

Disagree, I hope all those creative writing and “I did the sex” subs stay over there.

I’m hoping that without karma, there will be fewer blatantly fake upvote-farming posts.

Very true. https://lemmit.online/c/AmItheAsshole seems to be a relatively up and coming one?

Side question, what’s the nomenclature for referencing communities/instances? c/AmItheAsshole@lemmit.online seems a bit wordy, but the most specific

Edit: actually looks to just be bots posting there for now

!AmItheAsshole@lemmit.online

Prefixing it with an exclamation mark automatically converts it into a link.

Lemmit.online is a bot instance that copies over communities from reddit, all of the posts there are just clones from reddit posts on the corresponding subreddit (without the comments)

Yeah, it’s just reposts so the OPs never see any comments here. I learned this when I blocked the bot out of irritation from reposts, and the entire community disappeared lmao

Would love if the geopolitics people of anime_titties could move over, a lot of them were supporting the protests and may have considered making the jump. Right now, the only geopolitics community that I have found has 3 subscribers… Also wouldn’t mind at some point to have a meta community aggregator like SubredditDrama, HobbyDrama or BestOfRedditorUpdates. It makes for excellent reading material while on the toilet.

https://sub.rehab/ has a list of a lot of popular subs that have moved to the Fediverse!

That’s a great website. I wonder what the deal is with all the Discord communities. Not only is Discord horrible for forum based discussion, it’s probably next on this list to do a rug pull on its users.
