Let's build those same subreddits but free and on the Fediverse. Let's see if they move here.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I mean, it's probably for onlyfans-ish porn. So probably they won't want to move here.

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

They could, but as it currently stands media hosting on the fediverse.... Sucks.

It's obscenely expensive for everyone involved, and scales poorly. It's just not ready to operate at scale at this point.

I'm sure it will get better, but large storage costs are better off being handled by a distributed file-system where a minimal level of duplication is baked in, but the storage load is reasonably spread out instead of fully duplicated on each peer.

There are technologies for this, but they all have their own issues. And tomorrow there will be n+1 distributed filesystems, fragmenting it further.

Is there a list of the most active subreddits which don't yet have a threadiverse counterpart?

@rglullis@communick.news @Blaze@sopuli.xyz

Might be an interesting project for Fediverser or !fedigrow@lemm.ee. Start with the most popular subreddit, create a Lemmy community on an appropriate instance, find mods and contributers (????, profit). Repeat with the next most popular subreddit.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 months ago

I added 6 mapping for popular subs.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago

Thanks for the list!

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks! I finally took the plunge to investigate Fediverser, and it seems like a really cool project.

I went through a bunch of my Reddit subscriptions and recommended a bunch of analogous communities.

One possible bug I found was in the filters. If I set "subscribed" to "yes" and clicked "apply filters" I got no results. Is this expected behaviour?

[–] rglullis@communick.news 3 points 2 months ago (9 children)

Thank you! It was nice to wake up this morning and see like 3 different people adding a bunch of changes to the database.

You are right about the bug. It seems that depending in some cases the list of subscriptions is not pulled.

I just feel like The Joker in The Dark Knight reading this. The scene where Batman is driving his motorcycle straight at The Joker, and The Joker isn't flinching. They're playing chicken.

Reading this headline I'm like "do it....do it.......c'mon do it, you coward......C'MON!!!! DO IT!!!!"

Because I know that if he DOES try that, it'll be just as big of an exodus as Twitter had when bargin bin Lex Luther bought it.

Do it. C'mon, do it you coward!!!

[–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Gross and also why is this here?

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Every time Reddit does something stupid, there is an opportunity to bring more users to the fediverse.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

wow someone tell lemmy

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

why is this here

Because it's relevant?

Don't let a bad thing go to waste, it's a great opportunity to shore up, improve, and accept migrating users with friendliness and openness.

A great time to share the ideology behind decentralized social media.

[–] ngwoo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Yup, every Reddit screw up is an opportunity to get more users here.

Also after a week of other posts about this (mostly to other sub's, but still).

[–] Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Other than OF-style content, what exactly are they planning to paywall?

[–] Five 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)
[–] NataliaTheDrowned2@kbin.run 18 points 2 months ago

In case they want to visit that subreddit: !assholedesign@lemmy.world

[–] Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Could please share the article from the screenshot? The one where he says he wants to paywall r/asshole design?

So basically anything goes in terms of content...

EDIT: The reference to assholedesign is a joke, the first part is legite (that they are generally considering paywalled subs).

[–] Five 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm sharing the screenshot posted to Reddit, I haven't seen the article. You can follow the link to the Reddit thread.

[–] Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago
[–] dandroid@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

That's a satire article

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

OF content would be a massive money maker. That might be enough to justify the whole project

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 42 points 2 months ago (2 children)

If they paywall their porn, the site tumblrs off a cliff.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago

the site tumblrs off a cliff

Beautiful turn of phrase.

[–] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not just paywall their porn, also force linking:

  1. Payment method and thus Identity to reddit account

  2. Identity to whatever degenerate shit you like to get off to.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

That's why I downloaded the top 250 non-text posts from 250 different pornographic subreddit when they announced the API bullshit over a year ago. I got an old man style static spank bank like playboy magazines in the 70s on my home server for safe keeping.

I should probably scrape the top 250 from this past year from my favorite 20 or so subs manually or find some automated way that still works 🤔

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They are going to pay those mods, right? Right?

[–] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 10 points 2 months ago

LOL next it'll be you need a Premium Member Subscription to be a mod.

[–] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 21 points 2 months ago

Lmao gold lounge.

[–] TigerClawTV@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago (2 children)

This is what got me to return to Lemmy

Welcome back! How are you finding it this time?

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 months ago

Welcome back

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 18 points 2 months ago

!reddit@lemmy.world has a thread about this for people interested

[–] MediaSensationalism@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I went back to check things out for the first time in a while and realized just how awful it is in comparison to Lemmy. It's an incomprehensible clusterfuck of bots and influence campaigns. As long as engagement and new account numbers look good on paper to appease shareholders, I guess.

Reminder that people did fuck-all to actually try and stop spez from turning Reddit into this dumpster fire

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 months ago

We are here now, so there's at least that

[–] Amir@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Everyone on this website did something to stop it. Leaving.
