The /r/videos mods are going all out and someone made this lovely graphic to explain why subs are going dark next week.
While I’d love to have my users on Lemmy, I also hope that this actually does something for Reddit and they reverse course on their planed changes.
I think for me it’s going to be hit or miss. Right now I’m on this more, but it doesn’t have a lot of the content I’m interested in currently.
Totally understand. But the only solution for a lack of content is creating some ourselves. A community of lurkers will have no content to lurk on.
Oh, I’ve been creating a lot of tech content, like my old days on Reddit. These days I mostly lurk on LGTQ subreddits though and idk how the Lemmy community feels about that (not that I have much to post in that regards anyways, link/forum wise)
That’s great! What content are you missing from Reddit?
Mostly just general content and discussion lol. I know, I’m not being part of the solution of adding more content/discussion lol.
It’s not easy. I’m going to make an effort but I’m much more of a lurker.
I’m trying to find areas where i can actually contribute but at the moment it doesn’t seem there are many of my interests here yet.
Yeah, I’ve started just posting anything that seems interesting while trying not to flood the place. I’m pretty deep into the tech world so it’s been mostly tech, but I’d highly recommend posting content that interests you and I’m sure it’ll interest others.
If you’re using a lemmy web interface (as opposed to an app), there is a cross-post button you can use to post in other communities that are tanginately related (if you decide to create a community for your topics).
I was thinking of that… I have a few videos i could share.
At the moment I’m having trouble logging on, though. Lol
(not op but) I primarily used reddit as a collective watchdog. If something of import was happening, it would be on the front page rapidly.
It’s how I found out it became legal for me to marry in 2012, and it’s how I found out it became legal to kill me in Florida in 2023.
/r/buildapc and /r/buildapcforme. Has been helpful to get a general idea of what parts to get and feedback on if the build is balanced for what the user intends.
/r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, /r/consoledeals are other ones. There’s sites like isthereanydeals and pcpartpicker, but those subs have come in helpful for catching deals I would have missed.
