  • Reddit’s CEO says r/popular sucks, and it’s going away, also Reddit is limiting the amount of popular subreddits a person can moderate

    Jump

  • Said more directly: r/popular sucks, and we’re moving away from it, and towards better, more relevant and personalized feeds.

    I hate how the highlighted part is going to be a decent thing at best or a fucking horrible thing at worst.

  • Okay, smart people of the Fediverse. What does any of these magical numbers mean? Should I pull for Brid or Diesel?

  • OG artist doesn’t know you can say “porn” on the fediverse without being shadowbanned.

    I think it's for comedic purposes. You don't get banned for saying "porn" on Twitter or Pixiv, the two platforms the artist posts on.

  • Why is the "Activities behind" count between us and Lemmy.World increasing?

  • Yeah, it looks like the issue is coming back again even for us. Hopefully LW admins can figure out what's up.

  • Are there any VPNs that support dedicated IPv6 addresses?

    Jump

  • I'm not too familiar with VPNs that offer IPv6 addresses, so I can't help with that. But I'm curious about why some people want IPv6 addresses. Are there any benefits to having an IPv6 address?

  • Ah, got it. I thought you meant non-LW users specifically.

    That makes sense. But for my case, I waited for hours and the scores still didn't update. I used an alt that wasn't on Lemmy.ca and noticed that my posts were getting upvoted. It wasn't until now when I'm finally starting to see the votes come in.

  • Hi guys, how many of you are here as an alternative to Reddit?

    Jump

  • 10+ years on Reddit. Never banned on any subreddit or Reddit itself, ever. First came here during the 2023 API controversy. Went back to Reddit since the anime community was pretty small here, and I could still use my own API key for 3rd party apps.

    Came back to Lemmy a week or two ago due to this bullshit. I'm not affected yet as I still have my own API key, so I'll be hopping back and forth between Reddit and Lemmy. But I know my time on Reddit is limited.

    I just hope Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse is polished up by the time of the next Reddit exodus. But based on the most recent API change, I think Reddit has learned to make smaller changes over long periods of time over one major change that angers everyone all at once.

  • r/art Moderators Resign After Artist's 'Print' Ban

    Jump

  • Because the entire mod team resigned, it could either be:

    1. The entire team got fed up with the drama and resigned.
    2. The top mod got fed up with the drama and booted everyone out, including himself.

    I don't think it was a protest from the other mods against the powertripping one as I don't know how resigning is going to do anything useful. It's more likely that this incident invited a lot of people to the subreddit and the mods just got tired of dealing with it. And because mods can't close the subreddits like they did in 2023 anymore without Reddit's permission, they all just resigned or the top mod just purged everyone.

  • I don't think Reddit's global rules prohibit sales. Otherwise, all the porn subreddits promoting OnlyFans would've been nuked. /r/art's own rules prohibit sales, as seen here:

    IMHO, this rule is a bit extreme but it isn't without reason. Without this rule, the subreddit would be flooded with people trying to sell art. Selling art isn't a problem, but if the entire subreddit is just people trying to sell their own artwork, then the community will just turn into FB Marketplace. And I would imagine the users wouldn't like that.

    The issue isn't the rule. The issue is that the mods are powertripping assholes who just outright banned the dude and purged his entire post history on /r/art.

  • How do you "pin" a community so it's easily accessible?

    Jump

  • Thanks! I shall give them a try when I'm on my own desktop.

  • Reddit Removes API access for personal use

    Jump

  • Sadly, they only removed access to new API keys. Existing ones still work, for now.

    Why this is "sad" is because Reddit has learned from the past. They won't immediately take drastic changes that will immediately piss off a big chunk of their users. Instead, they'll do it slowly so fewer people will feel the immediate impact. But eventually, this will affect everyone.

    And why this sucks for us is because if there's no massive outrage like the one in 2023, there won't be a mass migration to the Fediverse.

  • How do you "pin" a community so it's easily accessible?

    Jump

  • Ah, this is it! I didn't realize there was another sidebar underneath the Lemmy.ca one. Any way to keep that Lemmy.ca sidebar minimized? Or will I need to do it every time?

  • Is lemmy dying?

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, Reddit has learned from their mistakes and restricted the ability for moderators to lock down their own subreddits. So any protest actions will not be as effective as 2023.

    And just recently, Reddit announced that you can no longer generate your own API keys and will need to request permission from Reddit themselves. This is the final nail in the coffin for 3rd party apps, as back in 2023 you could still generate your own API keys and continue using 3rd party apps. The silence in the public outrage against this is deafening.

    Instead of taking drastic actions affecting the most amount of people, Reddit is taking smaller actions that will slowly kill off things they don't like. This will limit the outrage, and at the same time, they get to achieve what they want.
