Keep in mind that many of these Reddit deflectors (myself included) had no idea something like Lemmy even existed.

I posted a comment that I wished a Mastodon version of Reddit existed and was shocked to find out it already did and was based on the same technology.

Looking forward to seeing this technology and community grow.

Ask chatgpt what Reddit things about something something. It has probably scraped everything on Reddit anyway.

Still new here and getting my bearings. So far one thing I hate about Lemmy is site wide pinned posts. I don't think that should be a thing unless it's a critical post.

Every time I have looked at the home page there is some pinned post at the top. That's not what I want to see when I go to the home page.

If it's important enough, it will be voted up to the top of the page for everyone. Then it should go back down naturally like everything else. It can be pinned in the community level, but site wide should be incredibly rare.

Ooh, I forgot all about slashdot!

Twitter's true value is at least hidden behind a billionaire firewall. It won't die until him and his foreign backers are sick of bleeding money.

When Reddit goes public, all will be known about the company in a way that's never happened before.

Yeah, I get it. I know there are growing pains. And some issues come up that might need the entire beehaw community's immediate attention. I just wanted the opinion to be out there. I was surprised to see other Lemmy instances had the same thing.

I hope that some day the plan is to have 0 site wide pinned posts as a rule. I think the home page should be sacred and the communities are where you go for pinned posts.

Though, I think a once a month/quarter update on things like funding would be a great use of pinned posts.
