It wasn't this way before. Lemmy had existed for years before Eternal September.

Ok but how do we set ourselves apart? Almost every new community is just reddit clone. There isn't innovation. We are better and smarter and more dedicated, but we are just putting up with being decentralized reddit.

Last I checked, there is nothing like [email protected] on reddit, I briefly ran an animal communication sub there, but abandoned it when I switched over a few months ago. There's lots of exciting stuff happening at the intersection of AI and animal communication!

Edit: https://lemmy.world/c/digitalbioacoustics - I'm not sure which type of link works the best for people

Oh yeah! Good on you, that community is very cool.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks! I really appreciate you saying that.

This blog post makes a point about how the strength of the Fediverse is that things can be decentralized into topic-specific instances instead of general use communities.

I am on StarTrek.Website. We only host Star Trek communities. It is much nicer there than on Lemmy.World.

Just about anywhere is better than Lemmy.world though.

What's wrong with that? I didn't have much issue with Reddit other than the corporate ownership/dick moves by corporate leadership.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's a good retort, actually. Huh. I didn't like reddit much, and I guess ideally I'd use more of a decentralized tumblr or something else new and experimental. Lemmy is probably the wrong space for me, in that case...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I propose everyone defederates Lemmy.world.

Then they become reddit v2, more so than they already are, and the rest of us build something different.

And the cunty admins can deal with all the BS that comes with that label.
