What are we going to do about it?

      Pornography was a very popular draw for Reddit, but posting in general helps too.

        High resolution pictures on lemmy is a bit slow still. Worse for video. That’s the second most important issue left to fix on lemmy

          Good content here will keep people off of Instagram, or shitter.

          Honestly if reddit kills porn it’s over for them.

              i think there still alot of porn on reddit, all kinds, its just reddit have purging many bots/users who have hundreds or thousands of accounts for no good reason since they dont make it to front page anyways.

            they already try to force porn users on mobile to use thier crappy app if you dont want to login, or use thier app. thier app makes it easier to mine your data and recognize your device for easier banning.

          I see this sentiment a lot but I don’t see the spam on pretty much any NSFW subreddit.

          Which subreddit and user?

          I love it! Reddit has slowly been going to shit for years, so many posters are nasty and there’s so much hysteria. There’s ads and political manipulation everywhere. I miss some of the subs, and would prefer a bit more activity but at the same time posts are far higher quality. Overall I’m really really happy and it’s been smooth and welcoming

        Lemmy is decentralized. So very different.

            There is no central management on Lemmy. Every instance is managed by someone else. Nobody can decide something for all of Lemmy.

        In some ways yes in other ways no. The urge to hivemind and purity test everything is definitely the same however the ability to move to another instance and get away from a group of power tripping mods is different.

        Lemmy is essentially a collection of 2000s era forums that have agreed to share user accounts.

      Lemmy is not a forum.

      Forums are structured around activity bumping, not recency and voting. A years old thread can end up back on the front page if someone posts in it. It’s just a different medium.

      And it’s a medium that we need to preserve.
