The differences is that you have the power to make a new community or Lemmy site with blackjack and hookers. (Piefed is kind of like that for people unhappy with the Lemmy software or developers.)
Kind of. I don't think the Internet will ever return to the heyday of Reddit.
Once governments and groups recognized that social media actually does move public opinion, that was the end of good, anonymous social media.
The ways to bring some of that back aren't great. A community where everyone's verified is much better, but it'll be quite different from the Reddit days where you'd have (usually real) ridiculous subject matter experts chiming in on random threads.
You don't get that with a small, verified population. And when you don't have verification, well forever now have effectively psyops intending to influence you.
Well we can assume political discussions have a lot of psyops and people with agendas. I appreciate that many of the loudest voices/posters make it very obvious ;)
Some of the craziest niches aren't on here (like if you clean sewers and septic tanks, DM me, you ought to do an AMA) but I have encountered people replying on mostly tech related topics on programming, linux, asklemmy, no stupid Qs where someone with niche tech knowledge did answer (i couldn't find the original comment link, sorry). My knowledge is in trains, electricity, Japanese and Japanese electric trains, you can ask me about.
Its kind of already happening here - just for different reasons.
There is very little engagement on Lemmy besides in a few communities. What little engagement there is - is driven by a few users.
Even broad conversion topics get very little engagement.
I get not everyone wants to be a topic "starter" (i know I don't), but they can't even bother to either:
1: just post a tiny comment (look at "what are you watching" in the movies / TV subs on piefed.Social; seems like a real easy topic for anyone to engage in and yet there's only ever like 10 posts and zero upvotes)
2: upvote topics or posts; While the points don't matter - they still show and promote engagement.
I'd note that the same phenomenon exists on Reddit. You'd be surprised how many subreddits on a site much larger are maintained purely by the power of a few posters who feed the community with posts.
I'd also argue that television and movies on piefed.social, per activity, are much more active than what you suggest there.
If you really want a community to take off, you have to basically schedule yourself to make content there.
The lessons from every group I've grown (and haven't) is that consistency is key. You have to develop the habit in other people, and it might take a long time to start.
If you want to be a Twitch streamer, for instance, you have to do it at the same time every day.
There seems to be more discussion here if Linux, open source etc & not just the pointless questions that Google can answer. More conversations I enjoy reading responses and opinions. IDK I'm a noob & I like it here.
There are pretty much only a few posters that post about hegseth. It's not everyone. But if you mute those people, it would cut down on your hegseth viewing.
oh thats rich- have you thought about how it's essentially criminal to post about what you just posted about instead of making a post about how you are pessimistic about one of the problems facing humanity??????
Voat was setup to be a one-to-one clone of reddit, minus any moderation and it failed because it was one-to-one. Lemmy/federation is functionally different.
It failed because apparently the only people who left were right wing nuts so the only content they had was right wing shit. There's at least some Linux on lemmy...
Do you think your input is not being used to train LLMs when posting on Lemmy? It's publicly visible without an account.
I'd be shocked if there wasn't either a scraper, or a whole federated instance, that was harvesting lemmy comments for the big ai companies.
The only difference is that no one is trying to make money off providing that content to them. A big part of the reddit exodus was that reddit started charging for api calls to make cash off the AI feeding frenzy, which broke tools the users liked. With lemmy, there's no need for a rent-seeking middle man.
For sure and it's frustrating knowing every post I make anywhere is being used to train LLMs generally, but as you mentioned reddit was particularly egregious about it, picked a specific partner(s) for it, and focused on monetizing their users' content.
I notice because people are fishing for karma point there are a lot less pointless posts on Lemmy than Reddit. Some people post questions that Google Search & Ai can answer faster. I understand asking if you looking for an opinion. IDK I kike it here.
As someone who was more flexible as a teenager, let me tell you that it feels a lot more like performing the act, rather than having the act performed on you.
Okay, so, I've heard this before, which leads me to ask this completely earnest question out of genuine scientific curiosity, but have you ever sucked a dick that wasn't your own?
Because I can't imagine someone with no inclination would like it very much. Ergonomically and logististically — it's a bitch, and harder to jive with sans any experience in the field. On the other hand someone who enjoys sucking dick on the regular might get more out of the activity.
I like sucking dick but I also know there are a lot of people with dicks who don't and one of the things I've heard from people who have succeeded performing autofellatio is that it feels more like sucking a dick than it does getting your dick sucked. Honestly, hearing this just makes me want to do it more.
Mini rant: that’s the #1 thing I was getting sick of before exiting Reddit. It was at the point where the larger subs, think memes or technology, were all reposts of high performing posts that bots were posting. Then they’d use other bot accounts to steal the highest performing comments from under the same picture/article.
The amount of times I’d see the same post 10 times, with the same top comments all from different accounts that all cross posted between each other because they were a part of the same network was crazy. The bot population was insane at the time I left.
I’m not even talking about regular reposts which I actually do like. (I think there’s an XKCD about post exposure?) I’m talking about coordinated karma farms that would spam the hell out of the place.
I'm new here but this reminds me a lot of what reddit was like around 2008. I and lots of people came from slashdot, to be able to talk about things other than computers. So everyone is a nerd that cares about data and wants to have a genuine conversation, and I think that makes my experience more intelligent because it becomes less about winning by drowning interesting topics with the same rehashed jokes or tropes, and more about formulating your own thoughts as best you can.
Lemmy also tends towards misogyny and truscum attitudes moreso than Reddit. There are great instances like blahaj or zip where that's not the case, but on Lemmy it's not feasible to only view posts on subscribed communities, while on Reddit it is. And that means it's easier to build a progressive feed on Reddit.
Haha relying on the DSM for proper psyc analysis. You must be a model Gen G/millenial sheeple. How about you stop reading those programming books and just rely on your common sense huh? If I walk walking around dressing like the opposite gender and go under surgery to mutilate my body ofcourse the entire universe will call me crazy.
The universe doesn't actually care about gender, only humans do. Humans invented gender to simplify social relationships. Like all simplifications, sometimes it's inaccurate. You might think gender is some innate biological characteristic, but that is a religious fiction and you are a fool for believing it.
You don't have both a nose and dangle long enough? Please answer us that you do not regardless of your bait and tackle situation, I'm not feeling like getting jealous
I do feel like I have more authentic interactions on here. It's hard not to see how much more heavily a huge platform like reddit is botted and astroturfed, and controlled by a handful of owners, mods and powerusers, compared to the nascent fediverse. Not that we don't have those things here too, I think Lemmy just hasn't had a high enough profile, yet, to warrant much attention from the same bad actors who run vast portions of reddit, X, and facebook. Here's hoping it stays that way for a little while longer.
Nope. Once it picks up traction it will eventually be controlled by the powers that be to stop "hate speech" and we'll have to go somewhere else. It's the circle of the internet 🥹
A decade ago, My nephew asked me what my Reddit name was. He was 9 years old. I looked at his old comments, and he was a pretty active Redditor on gaming subreddits.
It was then that I stopped trusting the numbers of comments on posts as a signal of quality.
Uhm... the brits have a long string of horribly incompetent (and evil) PMs and the royal family is the same level of inbred rapers of children so...
Let's not try to compare the two and acknowledge we are both horrifically imperialist nations with self destructive tendencies who just happen to be at different points on the curve.
A lot of them are, the ones that aren't bots and propoganda alt accounts, but a lot of them are also only here because they would be / were banned from Reddit.
It's probably true. They're at least not as brainwashed and irreparably fucked in the head as many Redditors, since they turned that site into thinly-veiled Stormfront (I guess Anglo-Saxon/Western restless rage was brewing there but Trump normalized the real Western culture?) and they seem to be okay with it. 🤷
The tankie servers are a pretty big part of Lemmy and they're pretty fucked up, too. I'm not even anti-communist, but that particular brand of leftism is definitely fucked up. They're only somewhat tolerable because they're very far from being in power and at least pay lip service to most progressive ideas, but they're bootlickers just the same.
The strength of Lemmy is that servers can defederate, and you can personally block entire servers, too (though those personal blocks are rather imperfect).
Honestly I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this but from my experience the average Lemmy poster seems kind of dumber than the average reddit poster, or at least more anti-intellectual, outside of certain instances and communities specifically dedicated to tech stuff. I really don't get it because Lemmy is more confusing to set up than Reddit and I always imagined people who were into the fediverse to be on the more tech savvy side but I'm constantly surprised at confident incorrectness and how much it gets upvoted.
Plenty of people on here who can’t be bothered to read past the first 8 words of a comment because their brain is so rotted by tiktok and browsing reddit by all to only read the headlines.
It was better when the liberal Reddit refugees screaming their anti-communist/anti-DPRK/Russophobic/Sinophobic bull weren't here. Thank fuck for .ml keeping them mostly at bay LMBO
same. only a matter of time till it happens here too

My knowledge is in trains, electricity, Japanese and Japanese electric trains, you can ask me about.
How is piefed going? It looks like a really great alternative.
Absolutely fine. I can interact much better with the fediverse on here except search. I find Lemmy does search functions better currently.
That's not losing too much. You probably don't even have to sign in to use lemmy's search.
So piefed is the software where the anti-commie zionist nazi's are fleeing to to escape the evil communist devs of lemmy? Good to know!
Its kind of already happening here - just for different reasons.

I'm just going to leave that to the self-fellating elephants.
Yeah I'm not saying what everyone thinks I am. I'm not smart enough to do it, so I'm gonna let the people op posted about do it.

I've just recently moved, and I barely see any difference. Same US politics dawn to dusk, just more Linux and commies.
Block those communities if you don't want to see them. They won't be hurt because they won't know.
There's some nuance in that
a) I treat US politics as entertainment for the last ten years — seeing Trump crush over Mamdani, are you kidding, it's top kek;
b) I like to know the zeitgeist on the platform where I spend time;
and c) US politics are in almost every major community anyway, regardless of its topic — just like on Reddit.
I wouldn't mind not seeing twenty posts about Peter Whatshisname Kegsbreath missile-ing Venezuelan fishermen. I got it the first time.
There are pretty much only a few posters that post about hegseth. It's not everyone. But if you mute those people, it would cut down on your hegseth viewing.
oh thats rich- have you thought about how it's essentially criminal to post about what you just posted about instead of making a post about how you are pessimistic about one of the problems facing humanity??????
Voat was setup to be a one-to-one clone of reddit, minus any moderation and it failed because it was one-to-one. Lemmy/federation is functionally different.
It failed because apparently the only people who left were right wing nuts so the only content they had was right wing shit. There's at least some Linux on lemmy...
Reddit also mass banned the worse people around that time and I suspect they did it to internationally poison the user base of Voat.
Matter of time?? The libs of reddit have been infesting here for awhile now
what's a lib
I think they mean librarian? Or maybe the libyans
Liberians?
They mean a liberal.
.ML is a instance for people who support Russia. So they hate anything to do with progressive ideas.
1
Someone who agrees with liberal philosophy, basically the proposition that every individual has inherent rights & liberties.
LMBO no .ml is the marxist leninist instance for communists
... and full of karma bots
... and using use input to train LLMs
Not antagonistically speaking here.
Do you think your input is not being used to train LLMs when posting on Lemmy? It's publicly visible without an account.
I'd be shocked if there wasn't either a scraper, or a whole federated instance, that was harvesting lemmy comments for the big ai companies.
The only difference is that no one is trying to make money off providing that content to them. A big part of the reddit exodus was that reddit started charging for api calls to make cash off the AI feeding frenzy, which broke tools the users liked.

I assume anything you post, anywhere, thats not on a piece of notebook paper, is being used to train AI. They aren't learning much from me. Lol
I notice because people are fishing for karma point there are a lot less pointless posts on Lemmy than Reddit. Some people post questions that Google Search & Ai can answer faster. I understand asking if you looking for an opinion. IDK I kike it here.
Life's hard enough as it is, one has to practice self love.
Seriously, who wouldn't do this if we could?
I don't know whether my nose would be my organ of choice, but I otherwise agree.
Yeah but it would feel fucking great when you have a cold
As someone who was more flexible as a teenager, let me tell you that it feels a lot more like performing the act, rather than having the act performed on you.
New friend-making skill acquired!
And that's supposed to discourage me?
Okay, so, I've heard this before, which leads me to ask this completely earnest question out of genuine scientific curiosity, but have you ever sucked a dick that wasn't your own?

You just gotta find a way to give yourself the ol stranger. Sitting on your arm until it's numb before you jerk out.
Maybe Botox is the solution here? It definitely provides those DSL.
You can't?
Toot that horn, little buddy.
He can't it has a giant elephant dick in it
First off, we don't know how giant that elephant dick is. And two, why are you dick shaming the elephant? What did they ever do to you?
I'm just bitter because I never get trunk from anyone, less yet myself.
The difference between Reddit and Lemmy is that you can post this without getting shadowed banned
Just normal banned.
But that's Mastodon's mascot!
For Mastodon, this is no metaphor, just a fetish
Tbf, a lemmy user is far less likely to be a bot, so... yes?
Mini rant: that’s the #1 thing I was getting sick of before exiting Reddit. It was at the point where the larger subs, think memes or technology, were all reposts of high performing posts that bots were posting.

Beep Boop
Yes I am a human
Beep
How do you know?
Man, y'all are wrong. People on both platforms be stupid as hell. Myself included.
What was I talkin' about?
I'm new here but this reminds me a lot of what reddit was like around 2008. I and lots of people came from slashdot, to be able to talk about things other than computers. So everyone is a nerd that cares about data and wants to have a genuine conversation, and I think that makes my experience more intelligent because it becomes less about winning by drowning interesting topics with the same rehashed jokes or tropes, and more about formulating your own thoughts as best you can.
Spot on diagnosis medic.

And that means it's easier to build a progressive feed on Reddit.
Also one of the Lemmy lead devs is transphobic.
Given that lemmy is far from transphobic this fact could be seen as a positive.
You mean anti mental illness normalization?🤔
Show me what page of the DSM-5-TR or ICD-11 being trans is on
Haha relying on the DSM for proper psyc analysis. You must be a model Gen G/millenial sheeple. How about you stop reading those programming books and just rely on your common sense huh?

To be honest, I need something more substantial, but I haven't found where to go after we lost forums
I'm pretty sure that's another symptom of Eternal September.
I have something more substantial...
Drugs and Alcohol?
Erm... it won't fit in your nose.
You underestimate my power!
If I could do that I wouldnt be wasting my time here.
Auto-Fellatio Elephant on my home feed. What a day!
The irony is that reddit users would say the same about other people on other platforms.
I remember that. They never shutup about rick and Morty, and there was a whole community where they rated the smell of their own farts.
Get with the times, it's all about ‘I Think You Should Leave’ now.
When the other platforms were twitter and facebook, it wasn't really wrong either. The bar was just that low.
You don't have both a nose and dangle long enough? Please answer us that you do not regardless of your bait and tackle situation, I'm not feeling like getting jealous
I've heard it feels more like sucking a dick than like getting your dick sucked
That's not what I said
Lot of maritime analogies gong on here.
I do feel like I have more authentic interactions on here. It's hard not to see how much more heavily a huge platform like reddit is botted and astroturfed, and controlled by a handful of owners, mods and powerusers, compared to the nascent fediverse.

Here's hoping it stays that way for a little while longer.
We got the shitty power mods down though
Looking at you Dessalines, JordanLund, FlyingSquid, DraconicNEO
Careful - criticizing FlyingSquid in any way tends to lead to a ban.
No way! Criticising the power tripping asshole will get me power tripped?
Nope. Once it picks up traction it will eventually be controlled by the powers that be to stop "hate speech" and we'll have to go somewhere else. It's the circle of the internet 🥹
You, sir, are obviously not thinking of the children /s
You think if I could do that I'd be here?
You'd be showing off here, so yes
Yes and no - those posts would go on lemmynsfw, and AFAIK most lemmy servers don't federate with it.
And Lemmy users in this thread
Explain this image dot com
ONE ELEPHANT HAS HIS TRUNK UP ANOTHER ELEPHANT'S ASS. OSTENSIBLY TO EAT HIS SHIT. THE OTHER ELEPHANT REALLY SEEMS TO BE ENJOYING IT.
the blind person when the text assistant starts to yell this phrase at their phone:
The first elephant's expression is like "I know it's in there you asshole, I saw you sit on the watermelon"
Colonoscopy
It looks more fun their way TBH
😀
Tbf biggest reddit communuties are gaming ones and biggest lemmu communities are programming ones.
thats because lemmy is new and niche. when reddit started it was all star trek programing and other nerd shit too
But... But programming is fun...
A decade ago, My nephew asked me what my Reddit name was. He was 9 years old. I looked at his old comments, and he was a pretty active Redditor on gaming subreddits.
It was then that I stopped trusting the numbers of comments on posts as a signal of quality.
In my experience, Lemmy users generally seem to be more mature (with significant exceptions), but “mature” certainly isn’t a synonym for “smarter”.
Plus, reddit is SO EASY to make fun of. They might as well reward people with terrible ideas and their most obnoxious users. Spez, for example.
It's just the program that America is run on. The social programming has specific guidelines.
Colonial Americans saying they’re smarter than the British.
“Dude, you were British, we all were!”
Smart enough to stop being British
points at the usa president in 2025
Smart? Not even remotely.
points at brexit
buddy this is a race to the bottom
Fuck yeah. As usual, USA is winning. Try to keep up Brits!
Hell yeah brother
🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
Uhm... the brits have a long string of horribly incompetent (and evil) PMs and the royal family is the same level of inbred rapers of children so...
Let's not try to compare the two and acknowledge we are both horrifically imperialist nations with self destructive tendencies who just happen to be at different points on the curve.
I'm sure there is a Mastodon joke in there somewhere.
Lost in transition (to Postgres)
First thing this image makes me think of are Linux users
That's what OP said, Lemmy users.
A lot of them are, the ones that aren't bots and propoganda alt accounts, but a lot of them are also only here because they would be / were banned from Reddit.
Piefed master race tho
Or left as Reddit burned down. Not everyone needed a ban to look elsewhere, we just needed an elsewhere to find.
Those were covered by the first clause "A lot of them are (smarter than reddit users)"
Given that Reddit started banning people left and right, I don't think the "banned from Reddit" bagde is one of shame.
Just sounds like we're the Australia of the Social Media world. Exiled from Reddit and the rest? Check out Lemmy- we aren't the dark web, we promise!
Hey I was banned by my own volition 😉
Actually how big is an elephant cock?
Ah, 3 foot. Hope nobody check my browsing history today.
Did you see that one where an elephant uses his prehensile dingaling to scratch himself
Idk I'm certain I'm at least smarter than the half of reddit users that are LLMs and thus cannot count the number of Rs in any given fruit.
Two things can be true at once
Lemmy Users are just a subset of Reddit Users who couldn't stop picking up aggro from the mods
Or came over during the API bullshit
Literally anybody who is part of any group ever:
Lemmy users are just Reddit users but displaced.
Do elephants do this?
No, every elephant I've ever met doesn't use Lemmy.
haven't got opposable thumbs, have they?
They got a prehensile penis instead.
So does everyone on lemmy
They do but first they need to have to get a rib removed
Tautologically we are though. Staying on reddit is stupid.
Lemmy users are smarter, because they literally got off the bandwagon and followed what they believed in.
Active users not reactive. And that is not only when using platforms. People that use Lemmy and well rounded.
It's like an oasis that is free to enter, but only for those that realized they were in a cage.
Ah yes well rounded with the 5 essential daily content groups: Linux, comics, Star Trek, lefty or tankie politics, and of course beans.
Swap out beans for bacon and it's slashdot in its prime, minus the libertarians.
Last time I saw this joke, comics weren't on the list. We did it Reddit!
you might as well start posting Joker images everywhere
It really depends on which time period you mean.
2010 reddit users? Pretty smart. Lemmy today feels kind of like 2010 reddit.
Reddit today? Well.....it's bots.
A new meaning to "nose job"
its a blownoseheadjob.
I take my delusions with a side of grandeur like a responsible adult. Not healthy to have that as the main course.
God I wish I could that. Unfortunately I lack both the length and the dexterity.
this is a shit post.
that dong is attached below the knees?
He is old, it hangs low... Don't judge the elephant.
Wait... Aren't we?
Elepharotic asphyxiation
are you smarter than
a 5th graderan ai prompterLemmy users are unironically as retarded as Redditors.
Nose job?
That elephant bout to puke sugarcane
I’m smarter than this post!
I’ve heard the differences as:
“Lemmy is where dumbasses go to act smart, and Reddit is where smartasses go to act dumb.”
Reddit users don't even know about lemmy! Admin censorship
Joke's on you. That looks like a lot of fun.
It's probably true. They're at least not as brainwashed and irreparably fucked in the head as many Redditors, since they turned that site into thinly-veiled Stormfront (I guess Anglo-Saxon/Western restless rage was brewing there but Trump normalized the real Western culture?) and they seem to be okay with it. 🤷
The tankie servers are a pretty big part of Lemmy and they're pretty fucked up, too. I'm not even anti-communist, but that particular brand of leftism is definitely fucked up. They're only somewhat tolerable because they're very far from being in power and at least pay lip service to most progressive ideas, but they're bootlickers just the same.
The strength of Lemmy is that servers can defederate, and you can personally block entire servers, too (though those personal blocks are rather imperfect).
I'd totally do that if I could. Even swallow it if it didn't taste so bad.
I could in high school. Tasted like bleach IIRC. Worst gym class ever.
Eat better bro, diet heavily influences the taste. Or just chug pineapple juice everyday.
Okay, then I'd need to cook for my mother different foods.
Well then pineapple juice is your solution.
Too much details....
It's the texture for me. But it's not nearly as bad if the penis is all the way in.
Me when I say I'm a reddit reject like the rest of lemmy
Honestly I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this but from my experience the average Lemmy poster seems kind of dumber than the average reddit poster, or at least more anti-intellectual, outside of certain instances and communities specifically dedicated to tech stuff. I really don't get it because Lemmy is more confusing to set up than Reddit and I always imagined people who were into the fediverse to be on the more tech savvy side but I'm constantly surprised at confident incorrectness and how much it gets upvoted.
I don't think so.
Plenty of people on here who can’t be bothered to read past the first 8 words of a comment because their brain is so rotted by tiktok and browsing reddit by all to only read the headlines.
Who can't be what?
People still care about Reddit!?
It was better when the liberal Reddit refugees screaming their anti-communist/anti-DPRK/Russophobic/Sinophobic bull weren't here. Thank fuck for .ml keeping them mostly at bay LMBO
