What the title said.
Doesn’t have the “updates” part, but there is !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world
Not what I’m looking for unfortunately, but thank you anyway
The “update” part meant all the posts were long and engaging stories spanning multiple posts condensed to a single post over a period of between a week to a decade potentially.
Don’t think we’ve been around long enough for such things really.
I follow https://lemmit.online/c/bestofredditorupdates It’s updated daily. I understand this is not what it want but I enjoy it.
This is gonna be the best option for a while. r/bestofredditorupdates only thrives because it pulls from like 10 very large story subs. Lemmy doesn’t even have all of the equivalent story communities, much less the content speed.
Besides the fact those editors are Consolidating lengthy multiple posts and relevant Comments. Must feel like a full time job. I barely have time to just read 80% of them.
Please forgive my ignorance, but how would I go about viewing that in my Lemmy app (boost)? I’m still getting used to everything here
Thank you so much! Though there’s a typo in the link. For posterity - !bestofredditorupdates@lemmit.online
Edit: actually I still get a 404 so maybe I’m the problem 😔
Wierd Both Links worked for me.
sometimes my connection to the community goes down but I get a warning about my instance when it happens.
I edited in the meantime
Oh lol
I see the same thing, 404. Maybe a federation issue between lemmy.world and lemmit.online?
I see !bestofuserupdates@lemmy.world, !bestupdates@lemmy.world, and !best_of_post_updates@lemmy.world, but they haven’t seen any activity in quite a while.
I found a few, none active, but some which could be consolidated or revived.
- !bestupdates@lemmy.world (mostly reposts from Reddit)
- !bestofuserupdates@lemmy.world (consolidated with the above)
- !best_of_post_updates@lemmy.world (should be consolidated with the above)
- !bestoflemmyupdates@lemmy.world (Probably the best option, could likely be revived)
This is unfortunately why I don’t think the fediverse will thrive: the majority of folks on here are so privacy-focused, that many of them refuse to tell personal stories or antecedents.
It’s extremely unfortunate.
I think the crowd you are describing are just the wave of technological first adopters who usually have these traits.
As Lemmy becomes more mainstream, the less privacy focused users will grow in numbers and soon you will have more of this type of posts.
I don’t know that there ever will be a wave of casual users like Reddit and Digg have. This space is filled with substantially more aggressive people than either of those spaces while simultaneously lacking the community of a range of fields that was the original draw for those sites.
The average comment on Reddit seems more aggressive than the one on Lemmy. Of course, depends on the community
I think there are more “intense” people here (in a good way), but reddit can more aggressive and negative in general on the big subreddits.
I don’t think it is in a good way. Im blocking a LOT of racists here especially racist tankies.
I was referring to Linux nerds, piracy anarchists, privacy/foss fanatics, etc. All of which are great, but may scare off new users.
Tankies are definitely a bit of a problem, although they usually stick to their own instances. Luckily I haven’t encountered much if any racism on here. Where are you seeing it?
All over this place. Most often it’s people who consistently highlight the race they presume the other person to be while attacking them.
Im blocking people here daily for being racists. It’s really odd how much racism I see here. It’s not as bad as Voat was but I wouldn’t casually suggest most check this place out.
Any recent example?
I report it and move on. Im not looking to highlight it here.
Okay
I think that due to reddits size, individual people had less overall work to do blocking bad actors.
IDK, people will probably eventually leave Reddit, as they left Digg and Myspace and many others. Where would they go aside from the Fediverse? Almost all new alternatives being built are using the Fediverse, and it’s the only way to get more than 1000 users currently.
It might not be Lemmy, it might even be a platform that doesn’t exist yet, but they’ll be here in the Fediverse with us.
Most platforms die or never catch on at all, but the Fediverse allows the platforms to rotate in and out without losing the users or content.
There’s no reason to believe they will move on to another version of reddit. There’s no reason to believe they will interact with the fediverse.
They could simply stop browsing news aggregators
Well yeah some of the people, but I think the majority (or at least a large portion of them) will want a similar alternative to switch to, along with an entirely new generation of people
I half agree but also I think with every extra step reddit takes like banning people for upvoting posts that mention Luigi we see more people interested in a freer alternative.
What lemmy needs is some new use cases reddit doesn’t have, I’ve been thinking about making an adversary debate platform that basically just offers a different format to a thread designed to make understanding events easier. Also I want to try making gamified chat modes where the main image is altered based on agreement or disagreement in the thread, basically an info graphic of the thread.
I’d love to make some game experiences on it too, I was thinking of a similar collaborative experience where user interactions in the thread alter the main image gameboard - would be great to use the existing floss infrastructure to make something open and fun.
I’ve seen quite a few on asklemmy
Eventually the eternal September will come and this will change
