The /r/videos mods are going all out and someone made this lovely graphic to explain why subs are going dark next week.
While I’d love to have my users on Lemmy, I also hope that this actually does something for Reddit and they reverse course on their planed changes.
I think for me it’s going to be hit or miss. Right now I’m on this more, but it doesn’t have a lot of the content I’m interested in currently.
Totally understand. But the only solution for a lack of content is creating some ourselves. A community of lurkers will have no content to lurk on.
Oh, I’ve been creating a lot of tech content, like my old days on Reddit. These days I mostly lurk on LGTQ subreddits though and idk how the Lemmy community feels about that (not that I have much to post in that regards anyways, link/forum wise)
That’s great! What content are you missing from Reddit?
(not op but) I primarily used reddit as a collective watchdog. If something of import was happening, it would be on the front page rapidly.
It’s how I found out it became legal for me to marry in 2012, and it’s how I found out it became legal to kill me in Florida in 2023.
/r/buildapc and /r/buildapcforme. Has been helpful to get a general idea of what parts to get and feedback on if the build is balanced for what the user intends.
/r/buildapcsales, /r/gamedeals, /r/consoledeals are other ones. There’s sites like isthereanydeals and pcpartpicker, but those subs have come in helpful for catching deals I would have missed.
