“Hey Lemmy, I need a new refrigerator. Are there any good FOSS (preferably federated) options available?”
That and Star Trek memes.
Lmao. That’s a good thing!!!
4 copies of every news story.
Linux and the whole FOSS everything thing.
Except when it comes to entertainment. Then it’s “Don’t touch my Plex”
Decide: FOSS everywhere or where applicable and don’t force your vision onto other users.
Really? I generally see people responding to Plex stuff by recommending jellyfin.
The repost bots syncing vapid content from Reddit.
“Lemmy isn’t Reddit” but here are hundreds of communities that have no engagement outside of a bot mirroring Reddit content.
“communities”
kind of a stretch to call those communities, when it’s just a bot talking to itself.
I just blocked all of them when they started spamming my feed.
I’ve honestly yet to see or feel those. I however exclusively browse my subscriptions feed, so I guess I filtered most of them out by my community choices?
Some people are insane/brave enough to regularly view all/new. The bottom of the barrel must be broad and terrible.
Not enough content to not use all.
Every day complaints about capitalism
That’s just what happens when you don’t have nazi mods/admins constantly suppressing everything left of hitler.
They just suppress everything right of Karl Marx here.
Which is good. All Karl said is “Don’t exploit people” and “see politics like a science” all very reasonable stances.
Yeah, he was also a huge antisemite, so……

It’s the main reason why I don’t get along with fundamentalists. Marx was a very flawed person and had a lot of garbage views.

DW i’m not talking about the economics, he was right about that. I’m referring to the stuff he want back on later in life upon finding out more. Scientific socialism is all about growing and learning from your mistakes and even though Marx was initially wrong about a lot of stuff, his ideology steered him right back on the correct path; proving that even a flawed person can become a force of overwhelming good through following socialism. Social fascists (liberals) will point to all the bad things a socialist has said/done not realizing that shit gets better with time, while their people start bad and get worse over the period of their life because their ideology is one of exploitation and evil.
You are saying this is a good thing right?
Does it make a difference to do it here though?
Define difference. For me personally it’s pretty cool to finally have some sort of community that seems like minded on at least the surface level instead of just constantly being stared at as if I were a fish who just questioned the usefulness of water.
Will it spontaneously make come about utopia? Probably not but if that’s your lower bar for doing anything I’m pretty sure you are gonna have a bad time.
Just block the communities, or even the two most notorious instances as a whole. The user experience gets 100x better.
While also being really bad at socialism
To be fair, that was a lot of my Reddit, too. Antiwork and work reform were constantly on the front page lol.
Everyone complains about cars, and rightfully so.
Seeing 10 different languages on 20 posts. For some reason I get a big mix of lots of different languages in my feed. Had to start blocking them because it was getting to much.
The most Lemmy thing for me is that I see more wholesomeness here than on Reddit, I’m not sure if that is the answer you were looking for, but that has been my experience so far.
I agree and it’s a nice change of pace. I hope we can strive to keep it that way.
<3 comrade
Shitting on reddit.
Linux
Linux
Constantly telling people to install Linux, completely disregarding any nuance.
Don’t forget your thigh high socks and furry butt plug after you install Linux.
people being reasonable. I hadn’t realized the edges Reddit had given me until I snapped at a couple people on here and was definitely out of line
Stumble across an interesting community that’s been dormant for a few months
Decide to try making my own post there to see if others will follow and get the community going again
Get immediately downvoted by the subscribers who haven’t posted anything for 6 months and yelled at for posting something that’s not exactly what they wanted to see there, even though it clearly fits the rules
Make a few more posts in hopes of winning someone over then give up because people are being dicks or just not engaging at all
Eventually give up and watch the community die again
This has happened to me several times since I started using Lemmy lol
Post food in food porn. Gets ridiculed because my food is an abomination and should not be called by the foods name. See others post butchered regional food that i definitely know the locals will not recognize as that food. That post gets praised for putting an effort. WTF?
Is it really that in depth? I mean good looking food is what I’m there for.
What I expected was food appreciation no matter how it looks or how it strays from the traditional recipe. But what I got was someone telling me that what I posted was not a traditional food yet I’m seeing other non tradional food getting praised.
I simply want food appreciation not food gatekeeping.
Which communities?
I’ve tried posting in metalcore, dnb, and phonk and the users don’t get mad at me or anything but there’s just not that much engagement.
