    This is Lemmy bruh. We still be burning discs on the reg.

    Seriously though, I still like to listen to CDs in my car. Something about making that perfect 20 song banger mixtape just hits different. And then slotting old CDs and having no idea what songs are on there but usually being pleasantly surprised. Spotify/Bluetooth is too easy and casual, I tend to pay more attention and enjoy the music more when listening to CDs.

    I don’t think OP is totally against reaction memes or GIFs.

    But I think in this particular screenshot the quality of the memes is very low and the quantity is too high. Like they’re all just very common reaction memes of peoples faces, and they’re really not clever or funny at all in the context of the thread. So it’s just a bunch of jackwagons all trying to make the same lame, tired joke and upvoting each other.

    Reaction GIFs can be good content but they have to be clever and fit the situation. Reddit threads are extremely watered down at this stage and there just aren’t enough unique, interesting comments to make it worth wading through all the slop.

    I don’t think entitlement has anything to do with this though. Anyone who used the internet and Reddit for a long time (and/or uses Lemmy now) knows that the current version of Reddit is flooded with low-effort basic content compared to how it used to be. Just commenting doesn’t do anything, because the onslaught of low-effort drivel and badly executed memes totally drowns out everyone else from having any kind of substantive discussion.

    Thank you for your service 🫡

    I’m the same as the other guy, my rule is that I only post/comment about Lemmy when I use my reddit acount.

    I used to only comment a few times per month when I used reddit but as soon as I started using Lemmy I started making hundreds of comments per month. Especially in the first few months, I got to 1k comments super fast. Since then I’ve slowed down a bit but still way more active than I was on reddit. This is my alt account btw.

    It’s so much more rewarding to participate on Lemmy for a multitude of reasons, but mostly because it feels like people actually care enough to read my comments and respond. On reddit it often seemed like shouting into the void. Plus, it’s a great feeling to be a part of something that’s community based and not just soulless corporate slop. Every time I check reddit, it feels so miserable and I wonder how I ever tolerated that site for so long.

    I would love a platform that has collective community moderation through content flagging and voting which does away the need for mods.

    This simply isn’t possible. If no one has responsibility, the community will inevitably devolve into chaos. Flagging content doesn’t accomplish anything if there’s no one to actually remove the clearly unacceptable content. If there’s no clear rules and no one to contact about moderation decisions, communities just wouldn’t be able to function at larger scales.

    As for the other part of your comment, first of all it’s foolish to use blanket statements and absolutes. However, I wouldn’t disagree that some long term mods do seek power. But you also have to consider burnout, as it’s a thankless job where you get exposed to the worst of the worst, and if people don’t simply quit after a few years, they may become more harsh in their moderation practices as a mechanism to protect themselves.

    First of all, 99% of people don’t have the technical expertise to self host Lemmy, and that’s who we are talking about in this thread.

    Secondly, there are very significant benefits to using a well established server versus self hosting. The most obvious perk is having a built-in community to interact with and learn from.

    But more importantly, more established servers will already be subscribed to many of the major communities, making the task of finding and browsing remote communities that much easier. Consider this:

    Your local version of c/science_memes only has ~200 posts and 1.2k comments. Also, many of the older posts didn’t seem to federate the comments or upvotes. This is because your server only recently subscribed to that community, and federation doesn’t occur retroactively.

    The sh.itjust.works version of the community has 3.9k posts and 94k comments, because we have been subscribed since the community started.

    The main version actually has 3.92k posts and 99.6k comments. Most of the missing comments on the SJW version are likely from lemmygrad and hexbear users, who are defederated by SJW but not by mander.xyz. This is also another major consideration about self hosting vs. joining a larger server: defederations. Some people will see predetermined defederations as a pro while others will consider it a con (also depending on which servers are defederated). The main thing is that people have options that work for them.

    Funnily enough, the communick version is majorly fucked up, not sure why that is.

    At this point I’m just getting curious, so I checked the lemmy.myserv.one version as well, and it’s got an impressive 3.84k posts and 98.2k comments.

    Might as well try it for c/greentext as well.

    So yeah, it’s not quite as simple as you make it seem. Hopefully someday Lemmy will integrate the ability to federate communities retroactively as some kind of option. Because I think that was more of a design choice than anything, technically it should be possible to toggle a setting and get your instance to download all of the posts and comments from a remote community, even from before you subscribed.

    And I feel like without having access to all of the old posts and comments that we have built up over the past couple years, content on Lemmy probably feels a lot more sparse for a new user. Personally, I have always enjoyed sorting by top posts of all time in various communities, both on reddit and now on Lemmy. Even if you’ve been subscribed to the community the whole time, you tend to miss out on some great posts if you only ever sort by new or hot.

    @3dmvr@lemm.ee

    I’m only now seeing that you are the same user, so obviously you can just browse older communities from lemm.ee and be fine. But it’s still useful information to know.

    And btw, I luckily have a free lifetime subscription to the communick Lemmy server because they did a promotion back in the day. I do pay them to host my Matrix account though. My original Matrix account got killed when the admin randomly decided to shut down his server, so I figured I’d go with a paid option.

    I won’t divulge the price since they no longer offer individual packages, but it’s quite reasonable. If you compare their current pricing to what people spend on streaming services like Netflix, I think it’s more than fair. $29 yearly for Mastodon, Lemmy, Matrix and Funkwhale access? I’d buy that as a gift for someone in a heartbeat if it would get them to start using the fediverse.
