potatoes!

People follow content and discussion, not user count. A site with a thousand active users could easily topple a site with a million doom scrolling ‘users’ .

I remember that day on reddit when the top posts were like 3000 upvotes and then all of a sudden the next one was like 100,000 . They said they ‘fixed’ the algorithm.

I hope Lemmy incorporates some of the features of RES, like something similar to the ability to +shortcut community links to an area (top or side) to quickly go to your favorite communities.

fortunately the fediverse is much more liquid than reddit so no one really knows honestly what it will look like in a year. Right now it’s going through rapid change, and I think there will be a sort of equalization that will happen eventually.

I was a mod early on in reddit’s creation and several subreddits used to group together and list each other each others sidebars to create an index of sorts. I think maybe having multiple communities across different servers, by the same name, but with different topics of interest could possibly serve to aid in more in depth discussions.

I thought 401k money was held at the financial institution the account is with, how did your company steal it?

why should everyone own a Raspberry Pi?

It actually is more of a hive mind than reddit. A decentralized consciousness.

Resistance is futile.

thank you! I had the same issue and this fixed it. I was wondering why there had been so few posts these past few weeks.

poor workers aren’t being taxed. The US has a heavily progressive tax system. Anyone making less than 40-50k pays almost nothing in taxes as a percentage of income, as compared to someone making 300k a year.

These meals help the poor and middle class the most and are paid for mostly by high earners.
