Someone wants to spend money on a Reddit alternative
4mon 28d ago by retrolemmy.com/u/Die4Ever in fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com from old.reddit.com
Any chance they dump their money into the Fediverse? Any chance the money actually exists? 🤣
Oh boy, the OP responded to my comment about PieFed and they said
Mastodon is a jewish app that's anti-free speech and anti-humanity. No chance.
Lol I didn't even mention Mastodon
I just want a reddit-like site where I'm not banned for saying the most basic shit ever, like in the old days.
Lost cause
Op has a cooked brain. probably wants to make voat v2
I can't believe that the runner of MeanwhileOnGrad wants to make voat again. Weird.
/j
Always the people with the money that know what they're talking about/s
Tf does jewish app even mean???
It means left wing
Oh jeez looked it up, no it just means opposing antisemitism and banning people engaging in it.
It has a copy off the Torah?
Jewish app?😭😵💫
Stop attracting strange Reddit trolls 😅
Schrodinger's fediverse convert. Could be a decent person or a horrible person until observed.
That user might as well donate to Lemmy's or PieFed's developers.
Sounds like maybe they're looking to invest, and expect a return? But if not, they should just pay hosting costs for a Lemmy or Piefed instance.
What I said is basically the same as the top comment on their post, so maybe they will!
Harmful misconception I noticed in these comments. Lemmy's Hot leans way closer to New than Reddit does, and it makes it look like we have low activity (low comments and upvotes)
Reddit Hot All: posts are about 2 to 8 hours old
lemmy.world Hot All: posts are about 4 minutes to 1 hour old
Maybe we should revive this issue? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4471
Different from Reddit is fine, but this is a HUGE difference that probably throws off a lot of people
Maybe "Active" should be made the default for new accounts?
Although we have only <40k active users total (stats). I used to mod a "tiny" gaming sub on Reddit that claimed to have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. There is no avoiding the absolute fact that we are tiny here, by comparison to the bad place!:-)
Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, given the makeup of those that stayed behind.
The default sorting method is chosen by the instance admins actually (and then a user could change theirs once they sign up).
But maybe the bigger problem is just that people are used to the name "Hot" and how it functions on Reddit. I don't think we should match Reddit's algorithm exactly, but as it is it looks kinda barren and not very "hot".
Perhaps part of the sign-up wizard then? Like add a new section to it saying that FYI terms are different here?
But yeah it could be good to use a different name, if a good replacement could be found?
Like at worst, even just the word "Def" as in Default search mode.
Willing to throw serious financial backing behind a reddit competitor- looking for devs, focus on frontend and talent with typesetting/ui/mobile
Typesetting? That’s who you’re looking for?
Sounds like they want a piece of that Reddit pie (revenue?), perhaps thinking that they could likewise sell user data, hence the almost exclusive focus on how it "looks" rather than back-end functionality like federation.
