I think it wouldn't hurt to upvote more than what you normally do on Reddit while you're on Lemmy. The community here is smaller and it'll benefit a lot of more people interacted with the site by upvoting.
Thanks for creating the list!
I do have a concern with [email protected], though. That community is moderated by a subreddit hoarder on Reddit (u/N3DSdude). You might not want to promote a community ran by a subreddit hoarder who doesn't give a shit about their community.
Also, you posted [email protected] twice by mistake. :P
Anime --> [email protected]
Broken link? Doesn't work anymore. If you'll be replacing an alternative, I suggest not substituting it with [email protected] as that one's owned by an infamous subreddit hoarder on Reddit.
My gripe with [email protected] is that one of their mod (N3DSdude) is a subreddit hoarder on Reddit. Not only is he inactive in most of the subreddit he moderates on Reddit, he's also inactive on Lemmy. This person has no interest in growing the community aside from hoarding as many communities on Lemmy as possible.
There needs to be another c/anime on a different instance.
Thanks! I've made the correction. No idea how to ping you like on Reddit.
But it hardly matters to the user because it’s all federated anyway
Unless you unknowingly joined a community that was defederated by everyone else.
The anime community. Seems awfully dead over here on Lemmy. :/
Since no one is posting it, here are the names of each of these apps:
S tier
A tier
B tier
C tier
D tier
I'm jumping between Reddit and Lemmy. Some subreddits have all of their mods booted out (r/GoCommitDie and r/OpenAI are two I can think of). Some subreddits have decided to flag their subreddit as NSFW but are being threatened by Reddit to reverse that move, and many have returned to business as usual.
Let's face it. We've lost the API protest. All we can do now is make Lemmy popular and make it attractive to other users. Give people an incentive to actually join here. Our job here is not to make Lemmy a copy of Reddit. We need to make Lemmy different (in a good way!).
And here's an unpopular opinion: we need to make Lemmy easy to use and understand. If normies find Lemmy difficult to use or understand, then we're fucked.
My personal opinion is that normies might get confused by the fediverse and might be turned away by thinking they need to make an account on every single instance in order to participate in them. I am not proposing that we get rid of federation. What I am proposing is that we somehow make it clearer to everyone that all you really need is one account and you can get access to everywhere. I don't know how we can do this, but I'm sure there is someone who knows.
There must never be a single dominant instance. If one instance becomes too large, they end up having too much influential power. And with all that power, big corporations or power tripping admins will use that power to coerce other instances to do certain things. "Don't want to follow our unilaterally-imposed rule? We're gonna cut off your entire instance and your users will lose access to our communities."
If Meta doesn't get defederated, they will become the dominant instance. They already have the most amount of users since I'm assuming you can use your Facebook/Instagram account, they'll have the most amount of user activity, and of course the most amount of power.
For me, it's more like "Did I accidentally drop a hot take and got the entire community to go against me?"
