    omg the top comment just got deleted with over 500 upvotes

    I think it was when it was edited to include specific links to Lemmy instances, instead of the join-lemmy.org website

    I still see the comment on Spaduf’s profile, but it shows as deleted in the post

    I think maybe the link to lemmy.world is what triggered their filter? because that was edited in

        actually I think it was mander.xyz for some reason? and it doesn’t seem to happen in r/fediverse

        no wait, something else is also doing it, midwest.social is also doing it, lemmy.world is clear, infosec.pub is clear, ttrpg.network is not allowed

        no idea how Reddit or r/technology chose which instances to ban lol

      Is 500 upvotes that much on reddit?

      On lemmy its huge, but on reddit i have seen posts with twice that in niche subreddits

        For a comment it’s a lot yea, especially since the thread was still pretty new. It was the top comment in that thread by a large margin.

      Was reading through the thread and holy shit I swear half the comments are anti fediverse propaganda.

      Some comments are suspiciously skeptical. If they were this skeptical before joining then they never would’ve joined Reddit lol. Someone just tried to tell me that the report button on Lemmy doesn’t do anything.

      https://old.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1i6rp3o/decentralized_social_media_is_the_only/m8i99k6/?context=9

      And people talking about bots too lol Reddit will literally repost a 1 year old post with identical title and copy-paste the top 100 comments from the original too, talk about bots! And they aren’t labeled as bots! At least bots here are labeled and you can hide them all instantly.

      And then they ask for extreme details on how everything works and try to become a master at it before even signing up. Is that how they signed up for Reddit and Discord? I doubt it.

      No way these people were that closed-minded and stubborn when they were signing up for Reddit.

      Aside from what Blaze mentioned, that’s also not really the kind of publicity that we want. Better to just respond to individual users and encourage them to try Lemmy out.

        We should really avoid antromorphizing non-humans. Call them bots, like most of them probably are.

      they got me with the propoganda forsure, it seemed complicated was actually super simple, every comment will act like its so hard to swap over or signup when once you do look it up you immediately see why its better at its core

        I never played WoW or anything like that, but aren’t there several WoW servers and you have to decide which one to be on when you start the game? People managed that.

          explaining the fediverse would be you join different servers but can still play together?

            I still prefer the email analogy with explaining how it works. The WoW analogy is for the people who say “That’s too complicated for the unwashed masses to understand.” People have been signing up for World of Warcraft going on three decades now, I think they’ll figure out lemmy.world vs sh.itjust.works.

      would it be immoral for me to mass bot the thread with AI powered pro fediverse propaganda?

      You can try, but you’ll probably get flagged

            HAZZAH! Maybe soon we can talk baseball in the guardians community (and how Jose Rameriez is our baseball lord!), and talk about Tim Misney’s eyebrows in the Cleveland community.

            You KNOW what I do! eyebrows

            And to anyone reading this NOT from Cleveland, and have no idea what I’m talking about…

            eyebrows intensify

    I would help, but I honestly don’t have the password anymore. I don’t think I signed up with an email, but if I did it was a dummy one. I wish I could help.

    Edit: Also, I didn’t know about this bridge for Mastodon:

    if you want your Mastodon posts to also show on Bluesky then use this bridge https://fed.brid.gy/ you only need to follow the account @[email protected] (note: is this a typo? It is not a typo. It will follow you back and make sure to accept the follow) and it will automatically bridge you

      the bridge is pretty nice, I would recommend everyone on compatible platforms to use it (Bluesky, and probably any AP microblogging platform, but I’ve only tried it with Mastodon)

          yea it should just be a matter of searching your username, but you need to be logged in to search remote instances (they don’t want anonymous requests spamming the network)

          what’s your Pixelfed username? I can pull it up if you want

            Thanks for the info, I’ll give it a go. It’s great that we can link to bluesky but not necessarily be a part of them.

            On another note, don’t you think it’s a little weird that someone from world is saying to not follow small instances? I’m not sure I understand bringing them up in the first place.

    @[email protected] , could you maybe edit your comment to something like

    "Lemmy has 42k monthly active users

    Feel free if you have any questions"

    join-lemmy isn’t the best for user onboarding: https://lemmy.world/post/24220536?scrollToComments=true

      also what’s the best alternative for Mastodon? a lot of people there already tried Mastodon and didn’t like it due to UX/UI issues

      I would be good to list Mastodon as well as an alternative, and also listing Mbin might be good too? but then maybe you’re putting too many choices lol

        Honestly I think the answer is BlueSky. For all the problems that people have with it, it’s going to be much more successful in getting people off the Nazi platforms. What’s more X->BlueSky->Mastodon seems easier than X->Mastodon for most people.

        didn’t like it due to UX/UI issues

        That’s my biggest beef. But I think maybe it’s “ugly like a Mazda truck”, as in, it’s plain and weird until you get to driving it and then it’s just simple and great.

        That’s my hope anyway.

        Hey, question about Voyager, I’m using it, and if I’m on my main feed and hit the back button, it opens a list of subs, and there seems to be nothing I can do to get back to the feed without refreshing it. It’s veru frustrating because I keep losing track of the post I was just about to tap on. Do you know anything about this?

        • paraphrand@lemmy.worldEnglish

          If I’m understanding you correctly, you are talking about how the Home feed, All feed, etc does not save your scroll position when you leave them. When you go to the top level of the app.

          I think this is because the app always refreshes the current state/order of the feed when you return to it. I looked around the settings and I don’t see an option for this.

          This sounds like a feature request. It seems like a grace period would do the trick.

          I’d make an issue on GitHub or maybe a post on https://lemmy.world/c/voyagerapp about it.

          One thought tho, have you tried swipe gestures to go back and forth instead of your back button? It’s difficult to accidentally go back twice when swiping. In case you’ve never done it, try swiping from outside the screen in.

          I know it’s not for everyone. And apologies if I’m over explaining swiping.

    Frankly I don’t want Redditors here

    If there’s a single group of people I hate it’s Redditors. Just fuck them (haha zecks, my wife left me smh, I want this guys wife)

    In an alternate universe I would be like a ted kaczynski of anti reddit sending hot packages to the authors of most painful comments

      I hope more people with niche interests will come to Lemmy - this is the only use case for this kind of social media for me, and Lemmy’s a bit lacking in this regard.

      But yeah, I’m not looking forward to those redditors who assume everyone’s a cis man and stuff :\

        That’s the truth. For people remembering how large was Lemmy before the API fiasco, the vast majority of people here came from Reddit.

        Not really, it’s an other, lawless site social inner code I am experimenting with. No unabomber love on Reddit

        I may have went too far with the experiments, I still have plenty of Mangione posting and stuff for social research. Such are the mundane realities of getting an applied sociology degree

      how did you find Lemmy? did you find out through reddit?

      ive been here over a year now and I sure did. haven’t used reddit since.

      if you didn’t come here from reddit, I’d be curious to hear where you did come from before making a Lemmy account.

        how did you find Lemmy?

        via Mastodon. I still mostly use Mastodon (but I follow hashtags so its a little like an un-curated RSS feed in that respect. I’ve been on Mastodon for a couple years. I also use a couple other Fediverse projects eg Freindica, Bookwyrm and GotoSocial

        did you find out through reddit?

        no.
