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 # 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.
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.
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.
Ironically, people who have managed to do this would not see your question
Sure but then you’ll block your own post…
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
How do you feel about Digg?
The same way I feel about MySpace
You wish you’d never have switched from Friendster?
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!
If it isn’t, OP should add it to the issues tracker! Adding things there gives the project leads, plus anyone who is willing to volunteer some time, to know what features people are asking for, and to choose some ready made things right off of the shelf to work on.
The devs have always been pretty helpful and responsive on Lemmy. I imagine that has changed a lot in the last few weeks, but they’re basically always checking the issues tracker.
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
Hopefully RES type option comes out for lemmy and kbin.
I mean you could just block the two Reddit or three communities …
The problem is when 50+ communities all start talking about something pointless Trump or Elon said. I want to be able to hide/block posts by keyword, not community.
Must have me confused with someone else. I was just expressing my desire to see RES type functionality come out for lemmy and kbin. Love the functionality it added. Pretty much look for any reason to bring it up for social media.
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 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 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
a lot of prominent posts have been “reddit??”. But there are many quality discussions about other topics.
The Connect for Lemmy app on Android has a filter-out posts by keyword feature
You see the irony here, right?
It’ll slow down within a month or two. We’re still kind of right in the middle of all of it right now.
I experienced something really similar when swapping from Twitter to Mastodon; we were all talking about Twitter a lot because a lot of users just came from there.
After a while people stopped meta posting and it went back to normal, and we have little spikes in posts about Twitter when ever musk does something stupid but that’s fine.
Just give it some time. We can swap from one link aggregator to another and instantly act like the other side isn’t on fire
Time to start using that downvote button for Reddit BS outside of the Reddit magazines/categories.
