As LLMs get better this will become a problem everywhere on the internet, not just Reddit.

Why is this here?

Why so passively aggressive?

My answer is: Ads, shitty company, shitty mods, shitty app, breaking third-party apps gave me the rest.

Why did you move here? Surely you didn’t move here because you wanted less content and less subs, or do you?

I’m not supporting anyone. I use whatever platform I like. I happen to not like Reddit so I wish to use an alternative. Unfortunately it’s very hard to find an alternative. It would be so easy for Lemmy to become that alternative if there was a couple bots filling in the gaps until there is enough users posting of their own.

Why are you here? Just to make a point? Or aren’t you also here for entertainment?

Reddit sucks. Ads. App sucks. Can only use the official app. Mods suck.

I moved to Lemmy for a reason. But I don’t want to miss out on the content because there is barely any here.

Didn’t know about that instance. Thanks for sharing that.

I know a couple. Didn’t know there are that many. Are they marked in some way to recognize they are bots?

Most people including me don’t care about where the content is posted. I just want the content and a good app to view the content. This is the real reason why nobody is moving from Reddit to Lemmy eventhough Reddit sucks.

Besides, there is no such thing as “Reddit content” or “Lemmy content”. 99% of content posted on Lemmy isn’t original either. Articles, videos, news, etc. are all crossposted from somewhere else on the internet. Lemmy is a content aggregator and community forum, nothing more.

Niche communities fail because 99% of users are not posters and there are too few posters and users on Lemmy in general. You need content for people to move to Lemmy. They will never move to a dead Lemmy community (unless they are ideologically motivated). It will never happen in a hundred years.

The solution is to highlight the bots, like they do with moderators. I don’t know whether that’s technically possible on Lemmy.

but most of the posts end up with no comments

This is simply untrue. There are known bots on Reddit that have a lot of interaction in the comments. The same goes for some subs here that I know have bots posting.

For certain niche communities, Lemmy just doesn’t have the user base yet.

This is the problem that will be solved by the bots. Everyone on Reddits seems to hate Reddit. But nobody is moving over because there is nobody moving over. If at least the posts are crossposted then I bet a lot of people will flock over to Lemmy, which in turn will fill the comment threads.

This leaves me going to Reddi for 90% of the content I enjoy. It’s also the main reason why most people still use Reddit and not Lemmy. I don’t see why crossposting would be a problem. Crossposting is being done anyways. Reposting too. Where is the difference?

It’s not wasted. It’s an investment.

There is accessibility settings for everything. Why not for this?

I wish there was better public transport on the level of Oeffi. Google Maps is still way ahead in this regard unfortunately.

Who tf designed 2000?!

Let’s revolt. Let’s burn down every store in town. Do it like the french.

Better to have competition than relying on the same launcher for every app. Monopolies are convinient but actually really bad for you.

You keep repeating the same things that I’ve already invalidated.

• All ads are skippable and with the right player will skip automatically
• You can digitize your movie collection. No need to insert any disc if that’s what you prefer
• Blu-rays have much better video and sound quality. If you do find a Blue-ray rip you’ll quickly run out of storage unless you spend a thousand dollars on harddrives. Each Blue-ray rip takes between 50 and 100 GB of storage. No, don’t even start with shitty compression. I don’t want that.
• Some people want the Blue-ray menu. They are actually really nice sometimes. There are even movies with director commentary, recording functionality or other fun gimmicks. You don’t have to use it. But you have it as sold and intended.
• But all of the points above are irrelevant when you consider that pircary does not support the creators at all and ensures that companies make even shittier content and services. They need the money to produce the content so they will squeeze everyone else even more if they don’t get anything from you. Piracy makes everything worse.

Certainly not. I just insert the disc and it starts playing. How can it be easier than that? It’s also really hard to get the best possible quality of every movie and all the extras with piracy. It’s not very convenient.

Besides, you don’t support the artists in any way doing that. I want more movies to be produced that I like. The only way to incentivize that is with my wallet. Blue-rays is probably the best way to do it.
