A lot of the communities I miss from Reddit exist here already, but they are mostly dead. Daddit; parenting; communities for my favorite sports teams; the community for my current city….
The news, general discussion, and memes are all here. But the really niche stuff that I used to enjoy discussing with strangers are all gone.
i kinda miss some of the chaos of the subs with rabid, unpredictable and paranoid users... like wallstreet bets.. not so much to participate but for entertainment itself
Oh shit is there an abandoned one? I thought about it because I do miss SYAC. But if I do it, it'll mean I have to start clicking on clickbait headlines...
SavedYouAClick is a subreddit where users post news articles that have clickbait headlines, but will edit the title to include what the clickbait actually is, to "save you a click" by getting the gist of the headline without needing to read the article. Usually reserved for articles that either have an egregiously misleading headline, or are multi-page articles designed to maximize ad impressions on the reader. So post titles may be something like "New law may impact Chicago drivers soon | No new law, 'left on red' is still illegal".
Like I said before tho, I don't see why we can't just Prefix/preface the titles of AskLemmy questions with the acronym until it gets more established here.
AITH: for suggesting to use subreddit and community prefixes for AskLemmy questions?
There were/are some really good Asian and Asian-American communities on Reddit that didn't follow typical discourse. IYKYK.
Some of those groups are replicated on Lemmy, but are completely empty of content.
Until recently, TikTok was filling that role for me, but it seems it is starting to get more "appropriate" for American audiences as I think they are finally playing the game. Lots of "Jesus" and "white guy with microphone" popping up on my feed there now. The same thing happened to Youtube about 15 years ago so there's nothing new under the sun.
I'm kinda dying without an active Fallout community. I'm currently extremely addicted to 76 and I'm banned from Reddit. I miss having conversations about it and trading on r/market76 😭
Fuck it make another reddit account dude, but do not argue/debate/give opinionson anything you can't if you want to keep an account there.
Do that, and don't post on there either. It makes you a target. But if you try again and are very very deliberately careful you'll be ok
Only thing that sucks about that is you have to make peace with the fact that you can't really be that social and have 'fun' on reddit anymore.
It sucks I know. But unfortunately reddit is still a useful tool. So it makes sense keeping an account there that you use for searching and are careful.
Make that community on our instance hilariouschaos.com my suggestion from there ? Bring those conversations and content from reddit by copying it and pasting it into the fallout community (if you decide to do it on our instance that is)
I'm one of the admins on HC and we don't care if you post stuff from reddit into a community you made. Obviously don't plagiarize, but basically just share it on HC in your community. I mean why not ? What could it hurt ?
I encourage you to try it and see what you get out of it. Think of it like an experiment and if doesn't work that's fine no big deal.
Best of redditor updates was addictive. They filter out all the drama that is unfinished and leave you with more complete stories.
Other than that I miss that even lesser hobbies had active communities. You could ruin your life by clicking on the wrong thing and suddenly become so interested in carpet tufting that you buy a ton of gear. For the rest of your life you are taking photos of random carpets and discussing them.
