More entertainment, whether the content is original or not.
What I miss from reddit are the funny videos, memes, the crème de la crème of tiktok and youtube. It doesn’t have to be original, it has to be high quality and entertaining or insightful. I miss the old r/videos before it got split into r/videos and r/publicfreakout.
Not always, but most of the time when I come back home, I want to turn off my brain, laugh and be entertained at random shit. I don’t want to see random political debate, outrage, etc…
I was actually surprised when the first thing that came to mind for this question was “funny videos.” I’m a pretty avid reader, and I like the discussions a lot, but there are a lot of good discussions here. There are also a crap ton on memes. What I don’t see many of is funny videos.
Ooh, having the ability for a community to set (and unset) itself to direct to another community of their choice would be cool in a baranganic democracy way
a barangay is a precolonial / indigenous political unit in SE Asia that literally means “boat”; the ancient political structure was that a barangay (a group of people larger than a family but smaller than a tribe) would federate under a “fleet commander” and sail under their command (e.g. in times of war or raids). the barangay could withdraw their support at a low cost by literally sailing away and/or federating with a different chieftain.
a baranganic democracy is structured such that a group of people can stay together in their chosen community, but that community can pledge itself to a single decision-maker, with the ability to withdraw support at low cost. it’s a representative democracy, but the legitimacy and power of the representative is essentially proven by the consent and backing of the governed.
in a fediverse way, this could be like having a Lemmy instance pawn.social that federates with lemmy.ca and lemmy.nl, but with all three in mutual agreement that lemmy.ca is in charge of reduplication communities; lemmy.ca’s mod team then decides that in this cluster !memes goes to [email protected], !furry always goes to [email protected], !woodworking is [email protected] and so on. that would allow both for server balancing and federation/defederation but reduce duplicates
God yes. I miss my cooking Subreddits. I haven't really seen too much content like that. I pretty much only read asklemmy even though I'm on kbin. I don't care for the memes and political news and it seems like that's all there is.
Niche content. I miss my balisong and machined pens communities. Some of them are in EDC. There’s lots of tech because only tech people would use this, if we make it as easy to use then more normal people would come over. Which is good in bad because it would essentially bring the regular reddit society over again.
