I don't understand why moving to discord is a thing when we have Lemmy serving the exact same purpose as reddit but even better.

from bad to worse

Second post of this I've seen in a couple days so I was curious and joined it. It's very active and I'm going in thinking that it is a good move. Active conversations suits fashion advice IMO.

Here's a link in case you're curious: https://discord.gg/Z7mACcrfJV

Edit: I like it.

While it's not ideal for most subreddits, I do get why they do this in general. A lot of subreddits prior to the API protests already had a Discord server where the community would congregate. I was already in r/deadmau5's Discord server during the COVID pandemic, and it used to be the official Discord for electronic musician deadmau5 and his label to the point where he and his label signees would actually talk in there. That was changed after his management decided to try integrating crypto/NFT shit into it which the owner of the server disagreed with, but the point still stands.

Is there a solid lemmy community for MFA?

[–] kryptonicus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Considering the numerous comments I've read in the last few days saying something along the lines of, "What!? Cargo shorts are out of style? I'm never giving up my cargo pockets!"

I'm guessing that currently there isn't a lot of overlap between those two communities. But I'm hopeful that a MFA and a Frugal MFA take root here soon!

Cargo shorts are back in style since last year by the way. Part of the general Nineties revival.

Don't you get paid per views on Substack?

[–] mayo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I think it's by number of people who signed up for your letter and read it. Then you can sell ad space in your newsletters.
