The number of users, you can get answers to anything there.
Askhistorians and other academic subreddits, along with specific fan communities. Lemmy is just too small to support a good community for a smaller video game, for example. That’s pretty much it though I was surprised at how little I missed reddit after switching
I don’t miss anything from reddit, I can still go there if I want. If anything, lemmy still feels underpopulated if I only browse the stuff I’m subscribed to.
Most subs i follow have a discord anyway, so mostly on discord. For the subs not on discord, I use alternative measures viz; a. ChubbyFire - I still check the space out
b. r4r- I Resort to other pay for play NSFW apps.
- Personal insults.
- The attitude that upvotes and downvotes define right and wrong more than actual reasoning does.
- People thinking they can extrapolate your whole worldview, background and value as a human being from a comment.
- Absolutism and binary thinking, where only two opinions are possible: the Right one and the extreme opposite Wrong one, and questioning ANY aspect of the Right one implies wholehearted support for the Wrong one.
But tbh I don’t really miss any of those things, cuz they’re all here on lemmy too.
I’m gonna downvite youre comment you reddit libtard. /s
AskHistorians
Working mobile apps. My Jerboa mobile app for Lemmy works great, but if they hadn’t have broken all the mobile apps and acted like such shitheads, I wouldn’t even be here :)
Rip rif
My beloved. I kept it on my phone for a few weeks after it was shut out, it still had access to some content and I thought all this would blow over :(

A balance between communities. There are communities that are very active and fill my feed. Although those community are OK, I am much more interested in some smaller and niche communities. Those get lost in the feed.
- use alts for different interests (e.g. one account for niche communities, one for memes, one for news)
- consider https://piefed.social/ as they have personal and public feeds (multireddits)
r/twobestfriendsplay, the second best subreddit for everything
The Colorado avalanche subreddit having more than 2 people
All 4 avalanche fans were on Reddit?
/Jk
a good solid baseball community, and a sportbook community.
Hide on vote was pretty nice. I used rif before they closed 3rd party apps, and I came to Lemmy
Don’t know if you know but we have hide on read in the settings, but I also wish it worked like on Reddit.
Yeah, I have that enabled, but really miss my hide on vote
You can always suggest it on the community of the app you are using

Activity that isn’t political shit.
Convenience of blocking. Voyager is absolute ass in this regard.
Being able to conveniently filter out entire subreddits. (Actually I say that but I did have multiple cases where the block list just straight up stopped working.)
The echo chamber also feels way stronger here. It’s tiring. Especially the ACAB wank, which hasn’t improved with the rise of Nazi America.

Can you elaborate, what is bad?
if american: calling ACAB anything other than an extremely rational response to modern slavery is fucking absurd.
otherwise: ok yeah your cops are almost definitely better than American cops but I’m not convinced cops anywhere are a net positive to society other than maybe Scandinavian countries where the main form of punishment is legitimately rehabilitation focused
Are you okay with having all of your stuff stolen? Because no cops is how you have all your stuff stolen
There is an enormous difference between “police should be held responsible for their actions” and “we should have literally 0 police”.
Believe it or not “ACAB” doesn’t mean the latter. Its just a fun little acronym. And just like all fun little acronym or protest chant, it doesn’t encapsulate the entirety of the movement, discussion, or belief(s).
I guess to me as someone who doesn’t often join in that discussion, ACAB does sound a bit like “no cops are good”. I think most cops are trying to do good, but I’d love justice to find the corrupt or politically motivated ones… That being said I’m not American and haven’t had the pleasure of meeting that particular group.
I agree with the overall sentiment that people of Lemmy can take these ideas a bit too far, calling for death of…well, everyone 😅
Sure but can you name a single protest chant that fully encapsulates the entire meaning of the movement?
Active posts that aren’t about linux or politics.
Lemmy is actually getting better. It’s like Reddit when it was just starting.
Hey now, we also have programming and meta-fediverse discussions as well /s
