I was talking about the basement-dwelling elitist neckbeards, not about any redditor. Sorry if I didn't express myself clearly.
Welcome to Outside - an MMORPG with more than 8 billion players. This community is about discussing real-life in RPG/gaming terms.
I did the [Make a Lemmy account] sub-quest. Now, the [Waste time on social media] ability decreases my [Self-Esteem] (or [SE]) stat less and boosts my [Happiness] (or [HPN]) stat more. I think I did the right choice for my character. I also completed the [Remove comments on Reddit] sub-quest, I only have the [Delete Reddit account] quest left. I'll probably do it the next in-game day, during the [Reddit Blackout] event.
It's the right community. I guess this would also work on !chat@beehaw.org
Same, but I'll advertise it here - !outside_rpg@lemmy.ml
Hopefully the annoying redditors go back into their hole like you said, and those who want to preserve the Lemmy "culture" (like you and I) stay.
I'm not saying that the new Lemmy users should go to Reddit, I'm talking about the average (annoying and cringe) Reddit user not using reddit (or not visiting those subs) during the blackout (possibly also having an existential crysis in the meantime), then returning to their usual life in the basement.
And please don't go on a vacation from AnarchyChess and never return
Hello! A lot of people are discussing the recent Reddit changes (I'm also a Reddit refugee), but I think there are some reasons why a mass exodus from Reddit won't be good for Lemmy:
- servers would crash The reddit "hivemind" would move to Lemmy The shitty jokes would continue here
- just check r/redditmoment. Do you want that to become c/lemmymoment?
- right now the community here is big enough that there are enough posts to keep us entertained, but small enough to get to interact multiple times with the same people and not get drowned in a sea of posts/comments The Lemmy community rn is also formed of at least mildly tech-savvy people (that could figure out the whole instances thing), that isn't the case for Reddit
As some people mentioned, many people will just forget what happened after the blackout (unless it becomes permanent), so a mass exodus also seems unlikely.
What do you think about this?
EDIT: I'm not talking about denying every Reddit application, I just hope the annoying redditors go back into their hole, just like @JTurtle said.
Better than every user from Reddit coming to Lemmy, for a few reasons:
- servers would crash
- the reddit "hivemind" would move to Lemmy
- the shitty jokes would continue here
- just check r/redditmoment, do you want that to become c/lemmymoment?
- right now the community here is big enough that there are enough posts to keep us entertained, but small enough to get to interact multiple times with the same people and not get drowned in a sea of posts/comments

I tried to make an account last year but got bored waiting to be approved :/
Hello, I was wondering what version (23.05, 22.11, unstable, etc) of nixpkgs you use. I personally use unstable, and it's never broken.
Edit: I also have a master input in my flake, which I added just for XIVLauncher (context: someone made a PR to fix it not building, and it got merged into master, but last time I checked it wasn't backported to unstable)
Hello, is there a way to block post from a specific instance (Lemmygrad) to prevent them from showing up on my feed? Thanks!
Hello! I'm Alex a.k.a. Ultra. I use NixOS (btw) and am a Reddit refugee.
I'm Gen Z, btw.
Even if I don't mention this in the replies, thanks for taking the time to reply to my help posts, even if your solution isn't quite right.
