      I have , amazingly I decided to start two communities, something I have never done before despite the fact I had a 12 year badge and thousands of karma at the other place.

        I tried to create a community twice now, but it just sat there spinning after I hit “Create.” I’m trying to contribute, dammit.

          Yep, sometimes this is happening to me I just open another tab and often the circle spin is irrelevant and the post or whatever has already been created , seems to be a issue with the system.

            It looks like there is already a community with the same name, but when I go there to subscribe, it says “removed by mod.” maybe that’s my issue. Because even when I try to open new tabs and navigate to the community I’m trying to create, it’s not working.

    I feel like we all just went through a breakup and all we can do is talk about our ex. We know it’s stupid, and we found someone else. But for right now, we are rebounding hard on Lemmy.

      Voat was great at the beginning until it became a right wing cesspool. But 90% of the posts were about Reddit and circle jerking about how Reddit was so bad. I’m blocking posts/communities that talk about Reddit here to help clean it up.

    Eh, let people get it out of their system. It’s gonna be that way for the next month or so anyway since there will be a new influx of users in July when the 3PAs stop working.

      This is why I posted, I really think we need to concentrate on unique content now so when the next influx comes we not all naval gazing

        Reddits success was due to the genuineness of conversations. You’d have celebs hop on and not their pr person and engage in meaningful conversation, you’d have amas from unexpected professions and give unknown details about it.

        You’d have full rage comics that fit a certain mold and lolcat memes.

    Yeah, totally agree with this post, grew tired of Reddit Circle Jerk. Its like when someone cant move on with their past, so they bring it to every conversation, how their ex (Reddit) used to be, and found a new lover (Lemmy/Kbin) and how things work great with this new relationship

    Let’s just forget about Reddit. Reddit can do whatever it want’s, the user that still on Reddit can also do whatever they want. Lets just focus on growing this new communities, this Fediverse, and do what we can do to make it thrive, and how to make it better for new user, and the less tech savy one

      Sure, but “the past” as you refer to it was not even a week ago, and the situation is still actively unfolding.

      Communities are growing, OC is being posted, and the lemmyverse is starting to get its legs underneath it. If you look past the reddit related posts you will see this happening all around you.

      However most of us haven’t even been here a week, communities aren’t built overnight. Reddit has 15 years of people creating content and building out subreddits.

        I couldn’t agree more with your reply. What I’m saying is, lets focus on this new journey. Reddit do have their hiccups when first generally used by its user 15 years ago, and i believe Reddit start just like how Lemmy/Kbin, or any Fediverse app start. Its a bumpy road, but its a good progress

        The fact that we interact in this post means that we have the same goal, we enjoy interacting on this platform, and its a good thing. because new users can see that there’s activity, there’s interaction within Lemmy.

        Sorry for bad English :D

      Part of the problem may be the bugs on the Lemmy instances which have not been showing “hot” content correctly. This may be giving a false impression of an obsession over reddit as posts are stuck on the front page?

      I’ve been browsing a few different communities and am finding things are active, they’re just not reaching the default Lemmy front pages. Sorting by new or diving deeper into communities shows a lot of new content.

      For example I’m currently browsing from Feddit.uk and this seems to have exploded into an active community in just a week; it’s really heartening to seen. I’ve also seen different content when viewing from Kbin based instances like Kbin.Social or Fedia.io (including from Lemmy.world).

    I’m here trying to learn how this service operates, and am finding a few bugs that make it more challenging than it probably should be. Some things, like trying to post musings or my own miscilaneous content “to myself” (that is, it would be part of my own page that can be viewed, but not part of a particular community) just gives me a spinning wheel indefinitely. If nothing else, better feedback from the UI would greatly help.

      You know, I’d always read that as snoopocalyspe and now that I see it’s snoocalypse I think they really should have done it the other way, snoocalypse just sounds like some kind botanical species name.

      Trying to browse Lemmy and 1 of 3 posts is about Reddit, and none of them are on !reddit@lemmy.ml or !snoocalypse@lemmy.ml
      Lemmy for now is just a circlejerk about Reddit.

      Made some posts about reddit on those communities and other news on others, but I see Reddit posts everywhere from c/tech to c/lennyworld, mods should review their rules and start redirecting posts

        I think it’s just the natural progression of things. It will die down probably by mid July after the changes have been made. I’m sure this also happened on reddit after the migration from Digg.

      Are you on an app or the website? Just click on “create a community” and do it - I started Maliciouscompliance.

      The issue is with getting content. If you start a new one you should be prepared to post stuff for a few days, even if nobody responds.
