How will Reddit generate content for paid-for subreddits?

        This is the reason. I can get all the Linux discussion I want on Lemmy, but discussions about an Acura RSX? That community does not exist here.

            There are definitely high-IQ car guys and they are soul of car forums/reddits. But based on my observation of the diagnostic and critical thinking skills of the other 90%, they are probably never going to figure out how to use Lemmy.

            And somehow we need both types (maybe for sample size?) in order to have a thriving niche community about anything.

          Yeah… I also miss doom-scrolling unixporn and ergomechkeyboards in here.

    Prediction: This change comes to life, people make an uproar about this. Then they forget this in a few days and continue using reddit.

    This same old keeps happening with reddit, Twitter/X, etc.

    Hopefully we do receive some refugees to Lemmy!

      Reddit likely won’t die from one bad change, it’s going to slowly die to attrition as they keep putting shit like this in.

        It’s been slowly dying from attrition . It might be gaining users, but meaningful interactions and content production is down from 3 years ago.

      Well Reddit wouldn’t be the juggernaut it is now if Digg hadn’t done similarly stupid things and paid the ultimate price. Social media sites do fall, and Lemmy grows a little every time this happens. I honestly don’t care. I like Lemmy how it is now.

        Hi!

        For Lemmy usage my preferred approach is always sorting by all and blocking communities (and instances) I don’t want to see instead of subscribing to the ones I do want to see. This way you get more content and dont miss new sublemmies! :)
