Column 1 straight down Team!

The 3rd party app-ocalypse made me create an account here but it was the reddit ads that eventually made me quit the Reddit app. At some point I realised more of my feed was taken up by autoplay video ads than actual content. The slow decline in intelligent conversations really accelerated after they killed the apps too.

So far I like it here, there's less content and that can be a bit disappointing but it's probably healthier that I can't scroll endlessly. It's also nice to feel like your posts don't get buried under a torrent of other content the moment you make them.

Top row, left column for me. I've actually been around since the third party app ban, but lost my first two accounts: VLemmy -> lemm.ee -> lemmy.zip

Same, but just lemm.ee to lemmy.zip.

how goes the mesh By the wayside LOL. That was a last winter project that kind of plateaued. I keep my everyday carry node with me and I built that NWS/EAS Alerter relay a month or two ago, but I've mostly been working on getting my PV system installed since spring.

Oh nice. Thats a cool project.

...its the cheapest expensive hobby i swear. You get one device and then keep getting more and more.

Also switched over during the API drama, but I think only my first account (kbin.social) is lost. I did stop by lemmy.world for a bit, and think I also tried piefed.

Yeah, they finally just killed r/all completely, which is why I'm here. I fucking hate how reddit became this corporate cesspool. It used to be just a regular cesspool with some content I liked.

I agree about the content and really think that it is healthier this way, too. But I also think that the content here is somehow less negative.
And as you say, posts do not get buried. I am way more engaged here because of that and had a lot more interactions.

It's been three years so I can't remember, but does reddit not have a way to block certain subs from r/all (at a user level)?

A key part of shaping your lemmy experience is that you can just block any community you aren't interested in, while still getting the benefits of an All feed.

I dont know if it's bots or culture or whatever but the comments on reddit just slid into repetitive blither over a handful of years. This is the internet so I dont expect all interactions to be thought-provoking prose, but I do expect people to at least have their own thoughts. Here on Lemmy, for example, I can find that good ol' home grown, individualistic blither. Just the way the internet intended.

I used to rarely, if ever, actually log in to my reddit account. Reddit used to have a good set of defaults and I had a list of my favourites in my head. Then I started using RES to block some of the subreddits I did not want to see. Eventually, it got so bad that maintaining the RES blocklist became a hassle.
Lemmy has much better defaults and this time I’m actually making an effort to engage with people.

Ah right, RES, plus all the apps had their own options. Man, I bit killing third party apps really cut the features for people.

I will never use the official app. It's just so bad. With the API changes one month ago I can't use rif anymore so I'm here.

The API change and the general tone they took towards the community when they implemented it.

Thats technically the first box, when Reddit walled off their API to third party vendors all the good apps were killed... kinda. I'm still using Boost, they use to proxy for Reddit but now they implemented Lemmy for the past 4 years.

Technically I got banned from multiple subs by auto-editting every comment I ever made to advertise lemmy, then to warn people that they're being used to train ai and finally a probably useless attempt to poison the ai's data with nonsense velociraptor meme-speak.

That was after they walled off their api and forgot blind people exist (their mobile app didn't have any accessibility features, probably still doesn't). Shitheads.

Mine isn't there as an option, the internet was designed and built to be a free and open decentralised place. power, data, and control over the internet shouldnt be concentrated in a small number of corporations or governments. Instead, infrastructure, identity, content, and money should be spread across many independent nodes that no single entity controls. The fediverse is the return to what the internet always has been and always will be, just there was a small blip over the last decade or so where we lost our way.
