This includes some porn subreddits as well as subreddits like /r/Drugs. Apparently due to being “unmoderated”, but some were not. What are your thoughts?
Edit: apparently also subreddits like /r/transgender_surgeries are banned too. Definitely feels politically motivated. Edit 2: seems like at least some (?) bans are being undone, like the above mentioned ones.
Reddit sadly houses a lot of information and is found anywhere else on the internet. Even here on lemmy, we have hardly added a fraction of the information still house on Reddit.
Lemmy.World or Lemmy.Ml or <insert instance name>…? The user based is divided into fiefdoms and thats a problem and why Lemmy will never replace reddit.
That’s a strength, not a weakness. This means no one group controls all information. No one person can decide “x thing” is bad and purge it from Lemmy.
The app I use just amalgamates them all into the same feeds
That’s true, but search engines aren’t really made for the fediverse. If you don’t find some good blog posts about something you simply add site:Reddit.com to the search Query and bam you get good results. The same thing isn’t possible for Lemmy.
Sort of is
Instance/post/numericalstring
Can be saved by a search engine even if that post is from a different instance
Though google doesn’t like urls without keywords
What i meant is, that its quite hard to find something, if you don’t know the instance something is posted on.
Kagi has a fediverse search I think
Reddit itself is an empire. We want little community run fiefdoms. The real problem is you have to log into just one of them to participate. There are specs being worked on that will fix that, but this is new tech in the internet, it takes time.
