r/Redditalternatives describes the various reasons that people decided to abandon Lemmy and go back to Reddit:

• lack of content
• too difficult to figure out how to use
• it’s “the place that tankies built”
• too toxic, extremist leftists piling on anything not supporting their dogma hard enough, or sometimes just “too political”
• overall they do not feel welcomed. Tbf many on Reddit are centrists or even conservatives, and quite toxic themselves.

Notably, PieFed provides solutions to many of these e.g. the sign-up wizard that subscribes people to communities based on their indicated interests.

Welcome to the Threadiverse! 😁

Ready or not … they will come 🌽⚾

N-n-no!

~$ sudo touch grass

Okay.

Since everyone knows it is pardner, it is just assumed that we will automatically do the translation in our heads:-P

FAKE! There is no way that touching grass is an actual part of the Linux experience! 🤣

This explains everything!

(j/k, this actually explains nothing)

Joke answer: git guud 😂

Real shit: damn that’s sooo true!

Also, the Princess in the Go panel is all the way from another castle! (Java’s)

This is the most Lemmy post I’ve ever seen. 🤯

I mean… I most certainly did not?!? 🤯🦌

Or at least the only one left standing…

I wanna see a Python version. No wait, I probably don’t:-P.

Yeah like to answer this question: should homeless people be allowed to simply take public space and turn it into their own private home (by placing a tent or string or some kind of divider, indicating “this is now MY area”, even though it was meant to be shared by everyone), and/or yelling and screaming at people (or singing? but in particular AT someone, like directed point-blank into their face) who simply want to walk down the street unmolested, who has the right to do what there? (I am presenting the more centrist view here, with respect to the USA norms, as the extremist views on either side are more well-known so I presume this is enough to convey most of the topic) - is that kind of post allowed?

Probably I am overthinking it, definitely for the short term, but eventually this will come up, spurred on all the more quickly by it actually happening irl, and so people will want to talk about it.

What made me think of it is seeing how on Reddit r/washingtondc rarely these days has posts such as “Sunset from Monument looking west” and “Any good October/Halloween 5ks?”, and instead that sub has been nearly completely subsumed by the events that are on everyone’s minds in that area. Understandably!!!

And an example on the Threadiverse: the !AskUSA@discuss.online community, despite an explicit rule demanding no purely political posts, and where we even direct people to communities that explicitly welcome such (e.g. !politicaldiscussion/lemmy.world), nearly every single post there has become political. Hopefully that affects your community to a much smaller degree - the USA really is going through some stuff right now, but that is no reason to suspend all discussions around the world about every topic.

You might even want to suspend all discussions about the USA period. Though other hotspots around the world may still offer political takes on urban planning, so you’ll have to decide what you are comfortable with.

And some political discussions may legit be interesting - e.g. just how much should gentrification be allowed vs. denied, and if the latter, then by what mechanism to accomplish such?

This topic might get quite… “spicy”, if discussion of certain urban repatriation events currently going on in the USA come up - chiefly Washington DC but looking to spread elsewhere rapidly.

You may want to preemptively say a message in the sidebar to deny such proposed offerings, if that is your intention.

When their operators get paid on a per query basis, they seem to work well enough as intended? Number must go up after all, and nothing else matters.

I wanna say 5, but 8 may be more accurate 🤪

In that case, both routes offer neat surprises:-P

I mean, both of them accomplish the goal… it’s just that one route offers a bonus surprise along the way! 😜
