A mass user protest six months ago over technical tweaks had big downstream effects, and now the ‘front page of the internet’ is changed for ever

    Lemmy would only get mentioned if it was a serious competitor to Reddit, which it isn’t.

    A lot would need to change for that to happen.

      I don’t want it to compete with reddit, but why is that the only reason it could be mentioned? Seems arbitrary

        The article is about Reddit. Why else would the article mention Lemmy?

          Because it’s a related, relevant thing…

            Related, yes. Relevant, I don’t think so.

            Tech reporters aren’t going to list every competing product or service, only the big ones. Lemmy may have grown a lot, but it is nowhere near the size that Reddit was 10 years ago.

              What’s the next biggest reddit competitor?

                Nextdoor, probably.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
