    this thread made me realize lemmy is in more ways like the forums I used to frequent when I was younger (that is about 20 years ago fuck…)

    I’ve blocked several of the most active posters here and I don’t notice any difference on my feed. Neither would you.

      It really improves Lemmy for me, especially with TPM. All he does is spam really old reddit memes that were old even back when I was using it, so I’m not missing anything.

      Flying squid blocked me apparently. I didn’t notice until people here talked about how prolific he is with comments

            You mean the comment from the person you’re saying blocked you that’s responding directly to you telling you they didn’t block you?

            Is that the assumption or the data I have?

              What the hell are you talking about? Flying squid didn’t respond to me. Or rather, if they did (admittedly not sure how that detail works), I didn’t see it. Internet randos love to make assumptions but I confirmed they blocked me before saying they did. When I try to view their profile, the UI lists no posts or comments when I’m logged in. That means they blocked me.

              Good on you for making assumptions though.

                Haha apparently they blocked me from their .world account so TIL that’s my Lemmy experience permalink report parent reply [ - ] Avatar Flying Squid@lemmy.worldM 12 points 17 hours ago.

                I didn’t block you.

                You, being so majestically brilliant, blocked them and you’re apparently obsessed with saying they did it.

                You’re going to have to go for a third try on the meaning of the word “assumption”.

    Yeah I love Lemmy, but I feel like it’s being held up by a few different people. I comment and even occasionally post to try and help with that, but it’s kind of scary how much weight is on a few peoples’ shoulders, and that’s not even accounting for server owners and the devs

      I try to post content, but I’ve found that it’s certainly more clunky than submitting to reddit ever was. Share url to sync or jeroba isn’t as smoooooth as submitting to reddit through RIF. I wish there was an easier way on desktop which is where I do most of my surfing.

        Every time I submit something, it gets removed for not being in the proper community.

        Like dude, the proper community doesn’t exist and I don’t have the time to mod a community!

      The solution is to poach the best superusers from Reddit and get them to put their content here where it will be more appreciated.

      That’s the way it is with every platform, you only have a comparatively small proportion of people who do a huge share of the posting.

      Reddit has the advantage of being absolutely massive that the power posters is also still a huge number. I’d imagine even the biggest of entire Lemmy instances is smaller than some of the major subreddits, which personally I’m fine with. This emmy instance isn’t some major corporation beholden to growing value for shareholders at all costs, but on the other end it still doesn’t mean the admins can do everything without monetary or labor support from us.

      To be perfectly fair, this is also the case even with real life friend groups, where there are generally that one or two friends who hold the friendship the most.

    I used to visit a classic forum like this. One person really carried the conversation and then suddenly disappeared and the forum died. Still have no idea what happened to them. Hope they just got bored or preoccupied with life.
