Blaze (he/him)/r/RedditAlternatives - Unless you're believing in, and waiting for Digg - The Fediverse has clearly won the alternative to Reddit game.
CoelacanthFirst reply:
Those numbers don’t look good at all for the Fediverse.
Reddit gets over a billion monthly active users.
Fuck me man with that defeatist attitude, don’t you know about “perfect is the enemy of good” and all that? You expect a Reddit alternative with billions of monthly users to just sit there in the wild? I’m so tired of these people.
PrancingpotatoI also want to add, how many of these are bots ?
Not sure why bots would bother posting to /r/RedditAlternatives, it’s a tiny subreddit that most of the normal users will probably never see
Fairly certain they meant of the billion monthly active users.
Oh, then definitely
There are AI bots literally scrapping the whole internet many times over. There were even tools to check negative sentiment all across the social media before AI blew up.
Propaganda doesn’t care about small or big subs, it has to seem subtle. Since it’s anonymous to anyone but the operators, it’s not a wild assumption. Small subs also often use bots for posting controversial things just for creating engagement.
Most repost bots are probably run by mods or even admins. Seeing as they never ban them, it’s not that farfetched.
The web wasn’t automated last year with AI. It’s been a playing ground for shaping narratives for decades.
Most repost bots are probably run by mods or even admins. Seeing as they never ban them, it’s not that farfetched.
For /r/RedditAlternatives, one of the mods is @[email protected] , who regularly post here to try to make the platform grow lemmy.zip/post/17001110
They probably wouldn’t allow obvious post to stay on that sub
A list of casual communities on Lemmy (that aren't just tech news or politics) - Lemmy.zip
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/2216085 [https://lemmy.world/post/2216085] — I posted this on the other site but I thought I’d copy over here too, lots of good communities around to subscribe to if you want a more casual/fun frontpage that isn’t just tech news, elon musk, or politics. note: all of these communities have posts. If they appear empty, it simply means nobody on the instance you use has visited them before (or you might have blocked them and forgot, I’ve done it before, lol)! I will try to keep this thread updated over time. Note: if you wish to auto-subscribe to all of the communities below, I have a post in the comments that describes how to do so. — My rough criterion was: - Of interest to me or a wide audience - Has a decent amount of activity - Casual / fun / interesting / cool / funny / chatty communities. - 0 negativity/negative vibes, news, politics, overload of tech or niche tech news/info, etc. — Directory - Finding New Communities - Conversation Communities - for chatty places - “ask” based - Casual chat / Misc - Hobbies, Creative, Passions - Misc - Artwork - Cooking, food, drinks - Gardening / Plants - Keyboard enthusiasts - Knitting, stitching, crocheting, etc - Reading and writing - Transport - Nice/Interesting/Funny pictures - Animals - Comics - Flags - Maps - Memes - Misc - Photography - Wallpapers - Games - Board games / Table top games - Chess - Crosswords / Daily games - Video games - Knowledge (e.g history, science, etc) - Space - TV (television, movies, film), general entertainment - Music — #### Finding New Communities Aside from this post, searching Lemmyverse [https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active&%3Bnsfw=null] is good for finding communities.
