Life is good when you try something new and realize just how annoying it was dealing with ads and fighting against a shitty algorithm.

No more of this ‘He Gets Us’ bullshit.

JimmyDean,

I lost track of how many times I tried to block advertising accounts on there, but eventually gave up because blocking them just doesn’t fucking work. So glad to be done with that rotten platform now

revlayle,

Oh shit, I had forgotten about “He Gets Us”… Thanks, I guess

The “He Gets Us” ad must be the most derisive ad hosted on Reddit. Nothing but complaints about it.

It was infuriating.

If I wanted to be preached to I’d subject myself to that nonsense.

Wait, I’m just a casual. Did he post an ad saying “he gets us”?! What a tool.

Did he go to Trump’s business school or something?

It was a stupid religious thing. He Gets Us is a campaign by Christian people, the annoying type that stand on street corners, not the kind that just do their thing and leave everyone else alone.

dealing with ads

Just use an adblocker. It’s basic internet safety at this point. I recommend ublock origin. If you’re on mobile, android’s version of firefox can use it as well.

Lazylazycat,

I assume they’re talking about the reddit app.

Kbin doesn’t seem to track active users. Their total users are the same as their active users.

haohao,

It’s not the same for me. Total users: 53342 Monthly active users: 40878

On Fediverse Observer they used to show exactly the same number till several days ago. Regardless, look at the post/active user ratio on Lemmy on fedidb. It’s 1200000/72000 or 16.6. For Kbin it’s 44000/45000 or 0.97. It doesn’t make sense the active users of Kbin to be 16 times less active than Lemmy’s. To me that’s evidence that whatever Kbin is reporting as active users is very different than what’s reported by Lemmy. According to these stats Lemmy has about 27x the posts Kbin has. That number is probably correct since it doesn’t depend on what’s considered active. A post is a post. Yet Lemmy has only 1.6x the active users. That doesn’t make sense.

If you use the total numbers for both from here, you get posts per user ratio of about 0.7 for both. That makes a lot more sense.

Amazing to see, as I look further into these platforms such as Lemmy and Mastodon I love them more and more as they seem to be so much more freeing than current mainstream platforms on the market.

GatoB,

Misleading

ComfortablyGlum,

Explain.

GatoB,

How is that being downvoted it is obviously misleading. It is not users is number of accounts because if you make an account in different instances you count as 2 users but it is actually one so it is misleading. There are 500k accounts not users

Indie,

Let’s go!!!

Ddhuud,

Let’s not call it that, tho. Fucking please.

It was called that for a while.

mojo,

When I used Lemmy before the reddit exodus, it was getting like 12 updoots on the front page. I’ve noticed a hugeee difference, this post getting over 1.2k+ upvotes for example. Content is a lot more exciting. Haven’t touched Reddit in like 3 weeks now.

I’ve been full RSS reader, Mastodon, and Lemmy. It feels good.

Model_M_Typist,

What do you mean by full RSS reader? What exactly are you looking at?

Thanks for your help

  • fignewton,

    I love that I learn so much on here. Thanks for that explanation!

    mojo,

    I guess by full, I mean like full-on. Like most of the content I relied on Reddit for, I could get from RSS feeds. I play Genshin Impact a lot, so I don’t need to visit that sub anymore now that I have an RSS. Also there’s replacement communities on Lemmy now.

    Other then that, software or blogs you like, they usually have an RSS feed and then can group them under like a “Tech Blogs” category for example. It’s something you build up over time, and RSS has been around for a long time so most things support it and there’s a million clients out there.

    Fun fact, every Lemmy community has an RSS feed to subscribe to as well, even Mastodon profiles! RSS feeds directly grab from the source, so there’s no centralized anything, so it’s probably the most sustainable method of getting method possible.

    wispydust,

    I’m curious, how do you use RSS to stay up to date with Genshin content? What kind of feeds do you follow?

    KernelDesign,

    Lemmy, it’s a new Reddit !

    Grater,

    reddit asked for it themselves :)

    ghariksforge,

    Noice!
