I’m starting to get tired of people talking about Reddit on Lemmy. I personally don’t care about Reddit anymore and am not interested in Reddit news.
I already blocked c/reddit that helped. Is there anything else I can do? Is there a way to hide posts that contain a keyword?
You must log in or register to comment.
Engage content that you enjoy and ride this out.
Right now lemmy’s growth is driven by people pre-emptively leaving reddit even though their choses mobile apps still function. We’ll probably see another influx come July.
But for now all we as a seed community can do is engage the other topics we enjoy and build communities that have substance.
Eventually people will join to engage those topics instead of grip reddits demise.
Very good response. To see less complaining about Reddit, make more posts about other things. Lemmy will be what we make it. I have spent two weeks posting into the void with the community I started and I’m finally starting to see engagement. These things take time.
I think this is what a lot of people are missing here. Lot of people asking for specific content, but very few are willing to make it.
Like I used to do some amateur in-depth looks at my college basketball team, but stopped due to just general life stuff and that is would get drowned out by memes about bar graphs. Now, though, there is an audience hungry for it, and it may be something I get back into a little bit.
I’m not sure that you really need to. It’s the hot topic of the moment for obvious reasons, but it’ll die down soon enough. Just needs a little time.
It was the same for me on Mastodon, I started regularly using it just as it all kicked off re Twitter. I got really tired of the term ‘bird site’.
After a couple of weeks that all died down. As others have said, ride it out, it won’t take long for people to stop posting about Reddit.
I’m already starting to see mentions of Reddit die down here as posts shift to trying to build this thing up with more content instead of just talking about how bad things are over there.
If you’re using Lemmy in a browser, you can block posts that contain certain keywords using uBlock Origin. I made a YSK post about it: https://lemmy.world/post/435133
No such feature exists yet on the desktop version, but I am sure it’s on the wishlist already. Apps might be able to implement this themselves, but I can’t say whether any have yet.
Edit: clarified
Mlem on iOS seems to have that feature under Settings > Filters at least!
Sure but then you’ll block your own post…
How do you feel about Digg?
The same way I feel about MySpace
You wish you’d never have switched from Friendster?
Pfft, I never even showed you my profile on vampirefreaks 😩
Ironically, people who have managed to do this would not see your question
One of the first things I noticed about the app Connect for Lemmy is that it has a word blacklist. I haven’t tried it, but I see it there is settings
I feel you, ever since i came to lemmy its been non stop reddit shit talking.
These are the reddit subs i found if you wanna block them !snoocalypse@lemmy.ml !reddit@lemmy.ml !reddit@lemmy.world !RedditMigration@kbin.social
You see the irony here, right?
The Connect for Lemmy app on Android has a filter-out posts by keyword feature
no, but filtering per keyword would be a nice feature
I’d really love to filter “the” - just for fun
About the only thing we can do is unsubscribe from and block the dozen or so “Reddit Sucks” communities/magazines, and report the “We Still Hate Reddit” threads that pop up elsewhere for being posted in the wrong place (like Technology or Gaming or wherever).
I mean scrolling though all and hot I’ve only seen two posts on reddit, this one and one from the reddit Lemmy, just scroll past them.
