  • yes, I know, but sometimes there are things or subjects from someone or some community you don’t want to read about. That’s where blocking comes into play. You can concentrate on what you want to read most by eliminating distractions.

    But I do respect your opinion on WefWef. As a matter of fact, if the time comes that wefewef(voyager) becomes fully featured, I may make it my main way of browsing lemmy as I do also like it’s UI and responsiveness…

















  • Some people may never return to Reddit, some will maintain a Reddit presence while simultaneously having a presence in Lemmy and other forums. Then slowly, they will be able to discern the difference in quality, and maybe leave Reddit for good.

    So it is very important to have each of our Lemmy instance population have meaningful contributions and keep our boards alive and maintain some semblance of quality content. This will end Reddit. If others have better quality as compared to Reddit, then Reddit will be doomed.


  • It’s okay to not be a successor. In fact, I know one of those you mentioned actively rejects being treated as a Reddit alternative.

    The important thing is they exist and have a sizeable footprint where people could choose to spend their online presence and contribute. This makes Reddit less of a monopoly and erodes its hold on users.

    I do not want another Reddit. Seeing how bad it became. I want a community with its own flavor that is distinct from Reddit. That way, however, I might feel or whatever my mood is for that time of day. I could choose where and what culture to interact with. These instances and new forum give me the power of choice that Reddit has tried so hard to withhold from us.
