I’m not here to fuck reddit, that would be really weird tbh. I’m here to have a similar experience as reddit without supporting that crap company.

A lot of people here originate from reddit, and still have the same interests. Especially those who have experience organizing drawings on r/place.

If there’s something you want on there, go find some people and get organized!

Elaborate?

What sort of things do people use RSS readers for these days?

Can you elaborate on the Germany part? I am from Germany and I tried to look this up and found nothing. The main thing I found was:

Die Rechtslage in Deutschland – Ist Spenden sammeln für private Zwecke erlaubt?

In Deutschland ist das Crowdfunding für private Zwecke erlaubt. Es gibt keinerlei gesetzliche Einschränkungen – du brauchst dir also keine Gedanken zu machen, ob du zuerst einen Verein gründen musst oder einen Gemeinnützigkeitsnachweis benötigst, um online Spenden zu sammeln.

From GoFundMe

So it sounds like you can receive private donations for anything no problem. Obviously it’s taxable but that should be obvious, and true in most places.

Been using it since before they went open source, it’s awesome and getting better all the time.

The graph shows the trend over several years, the drop-down shows you a list of the most popular languages of that quarter.

I didn't even know about that, that's really cool. I have noticed that if I come back to older posts there's often a lot of new activity since I was there last.

One thing I love about lemmy is how easy it is to get a conversation going. On reddit it's really easy to be buried in a thread, and if you get a response it's often just a joke or a snarky remark. Here there's so much genuine engagement. It reminds me of the transition from Twitter to Mastodon. I guess people who bother to make the move are more likely to be more engaged users, too.
