Consider making one or two of those communities. There’s no shame in sourcing articles/content from reddit and posting it here (direcelt links to source, not links to reddit) . A post or two every few days will quickly round up others.

The transparent and non user-tailored algorithms, may be Lemmy’s strongest asset.

The default ui is heavily based upon the Apollo app and iOS design. There is an option for a more android-like approach however.

I also recommend Summit, Thunder, and Connect.

I made this comment on Sync but it’s hard to recommend at present.

Agreed. Reddit became worse when it started forcing unrelated content on you at every opportunity. It became hard to recommend to friends when each time I would realise I had forgotten what new reddit and the official app were like.

Reddit hasn’t really been good since the alogorith change that made the front-page stagnate for a day. I got the most out of it when browsing the frontpage was completely different 6 hours later. Once they made it so that everyone who checked reddit that day would get the same experience, the spirit of the site died.

Edit: I also forgot to mention that I upvote almost everything. If you made a post that I read and it’s not complete trash, you’re getting an upvote. Same with comments. I upvote almost every comment I read - especially ones in response to my posts or comments. I feel like it let’s people know they’re being seen.

Oh hell yeah, me too. I browse all a lot (sometimes sorted by scaled) and even if something isn’t for me, if it seems like something others would like, it’s getting an upvote.

My how time flies. Reddit was already trash at that point, it was mostly habit keeping me going there, but I think it’s gotten a lot worse. Either that or I forgot just how bad it was.

This is good advice. Whenever you find yourself thinking “I wish there was more ____ content” here I guarantee you’re not the only one thinking that. It just takes one person to have the initiative to make the community and build it up. In my experience it’s surprising how quickly others will follow.

My biggest advice is don’t make a community and fill it with everything right away. If you have something you want to share maybe hold onto it. Make a list, post one every few days. These grow over time. One burst of posts fades away after a day or two, but regular, spread out posts keep it in people’s feed for longer.

But seriously, how will we encrypt?

They call it linear TV now

What rule? I just go by what I read in the 90s about what the creators thought.

Meaning?

Do you interact with people like this in person?

But that’s not their method that’s harming them, that’s the updates with fewer features, which is what they came here to vent about.

Alright, now I get the distinction you’re making, but was it really harming OP?

It might not take the form you’d like but isnt that still [paying] the statement balance by the due date in order to not accrue interest.

Which they were doing?

Edit: but to the bigger point, why are you so insistent on this here specifically?

With little or no credit they’re not getting a better card.

They’re spelling mistakes when not typed.
