Our #Reddit only needs 4 more users to get it to 3,500 members! Come on over and join the sub for quality content, tech support, and a growing community.
Enjoying this #Reddit thread where they pontificate about how online video needs competition, but it costs too much to do it.
I've been running tilvids.com for almost four years now on mostly community donations. The problem isn't the cost, it's the fact that every creator thinks they're the next Mr. Beast and just one video away from being a millionaire, and viewers are complacent.
We could all easily collectively decide to change this at any time.
its an LEMMY instance..a #Fediverse version of #Reddit
you can answer to it from any mastodon instance you are on and participate in the discussion !😉 👍
I have to admit, after The Occurrence from a few months ago, I get a little disappointed in people still posting on #Reddit now. I mean, very slightly, I'm not going to call anyone out, or condemn them, or even utter their names in my occasional nightly utterances to the Mauve One. But, still, a little.
It's just a site. It's arguably become too much of the internet, and should go away by whatever means. They're willing to sell out their users and unpaid mods, building an IPO off their backs, and also think nothing of selling off their writing in bulk to train AI.
I think of how Metafilter is trying hard to not rely too much on unpaid labor, still pursuing non-profit status for that reason, while Reddit did an IPO while run almost entirely by volunteers and profits hugely off the participation of users. It's basically #Gracenote all over again, just much much bigger. Any I think of all the slack Reddit's been cut from its bad old days, and how it doesn't really deserve it.
What does it mean to federate your Flipboard profile? In the simplest terms, it means that whatever you curate (aka share) on Flipboard will be "syndicated" out to the fediverse with no extra effort. @miaq tests it out and breaks it down.
I'm not OP, but #Flipboard seems like a sort of a link aggregator (called "flips"). You can keep your own links (publicly or privately) and follow other people's curated links, and comment on them.
A little bit like a #Reddit or #Lemmy - except the links are emphasized more than the conversation.
I didn't know how to federate my links, though. So this article is interesting!
What are some other good sources for news, maybe rpg discussions?
One thought I had while browsing is how it would be nice if all those sites allowed you to login with your own made up identity that already exists. Like if I could log in as my mastadon randomwizard to go leave a comment.
For a while Reddit dot com has been blocking my browser since I use a VPN, but old reddit was still functional for me. Although I closed my reddit account just after the API-exodus, I still frequent the niche communities which has hyper-specific topics discussed....
I check in periodically to see things going on in @nepal - I've been hoping for an eventual conversational vibe to talk about general issues in #nepal 🤞.
#reddit r/Nepal had a good vibe in the early days for me: later - not so much.
I sometimes like chatting about things like geopolitics, random bits of history, folklore, and future possibilities, in the context of Nepal.
There were lots of people saying they were being offered pre-IPO shares due to their community involvement. I'm told at about 35 dollars?
I deleted my Reddit account during the recent API debacle. These days the cool kids are all at KBin and Lemmy the distributed unsellable threadiverse. Won't be no IPO of the threadiverse.
But there's a lot of uncool kids still there, and they are easier advertising fodder.
Usually you'll see a new IPO drop 50% before it even decides which way to go. So I'd say sell 'em fast if you got 'em at 35 dollars. Rebuy at 25 of you really wanna hold long term for some reason. My guess would be Reddit does not do well, even if they become a meme stock.
Social media giant Reddit is going public tomorrow. Here's how much it's seeking to raise, what its IPO means for the company and how Redditors are reacting.
Remember Digg? It once made a big mistake. Everyone left Digg and joined Reddit. Someday, history will repeat itself. That day, Reddit stock will crash post-IPO. Their entire businesses are based on users, and they have been hostile to users for some time.
@nixCraft You say that, but I’ve seen so many people bounce back to #reddit and #twitter after they got bored with the alternatives, or forgot why they were mad at those platforms.
Doesn’t help that fed’s answer to Reddit #lemmy ended up being taken over by chuds.
TIL I learned that there's a subreddit devoted to mocking "ridiculous" names given to children by their parents (usually unusual spellings, and yes, some go completely overboard). I made it three posts before I found my daughter's name on one of their lists. Daddy is mad!!!
Visit #FanFiction.net, and you too can try to decide who you dislike more: #CloudFlare, the website admins, or the authors who keep posting there (hint: the last one is kind of unreasonable but not entirely without merit). Most websites give you at least one reason to hate them in 2024, but this is a three-for-one deal. For even more choice, get your #fanfic recommendations through #Reddit, where everybody ends up linking to the terrible, unnecessary mobile-specific version of the site because they have a terrible, unnecessary mobile-specific version of the site. #fanfiction
No, you cannot. ( lemmy.zip )
