    “Can we have something like multireddits please”

    “Can someone explain how the Fediverse works”

    “I’m making a new Lemmy app”

    “I can’t wait for [x] to make a Lemmy app”

    “Wtf is a tankie”

    “Rule”

    “[A meme about being trans]”

    “[A meme about being neuro-atypical]”

    “[A meme you have seen reposted a dozen times elsewhere]”

    “I miss Apollo”

    PS, I dont mean this in a bad way. I love Lemmy and it is hugely encouraging to see so many people use it. I’m just poking fun at trends I’m seeing emerge.

          I remember when they introduced it, like 8 years ago. And it was some big important feature and everyone loved it.

          I never used it.

            I think it’s honestly far more useful for Lemmy, where multiple communities may not only have similar themes but have the same name.

          Separate subscription lists with its own feed. Like you can have one where you only subscribe to cats subreddits and will not appear in the main feed, but will apear in the cat feed.

        You pretty much need a separate account for NSFW stuff because the major instances seem to be defederating with the ones that have porn.

        If you’re using Jerboa, you add multiple accounts to it and switch between them in the hamburger menu.

      The beauty of lemmy is that it is open source. Anyone knowing a bit of rust and/or typescript can contribute. I’m sure multilemmies will be implemented sooner rather than later.

      Though, although rust is a beloved language, it’s hard to get into. A backend in typescript or python would attract a lot more developers just based on the fact that these are higher level languages. Performance would take too much of a hit though.

    Elon Musk Hate.

      Don’t forget “Lemmy feels higher quality than reddit” followed by several hot posts that are compressed and re-reposted memes with pixel densities low enough to count.

      And the “I’m glad Lemmy doesn’t have the reddit hivemind” followed by posts with whole threads of comments straight out of reddit “AmericaBad” thought train.

      Pretty much, all of these things can be summed up by “suddenly acting better than reddit while acting identically”, I guess.

    Maybe I’m just older and have been on the internet longer, but it doesn’t feel as much like the “early days” as it does feel like when I first came to Reddit after Digg died (without ever having been a Digg user; it just was a coincidence that I discovered Reddit because of the hubbub).

    I’ve been online since 1990 tho. I was literally there for the beginning of the “World Wide Web.” The true Wild West of the internet.

      Back before music piracy was a thing; because who’s going to download a 3-4MB file on a 14k4 modem? By the time you grab one song you’d have racked up such an internet bill you might as well have bought the single.

        I remember spending all day downloading files from a Quake server because I happened upon a server running Team Fortress and had to download the mod. On a 28.8k dial-up modem. It was like 500MB or something.

        Then of course when I get into the game, it’s on ctf_crosstheborder and was the most confusing thing I had ever encountered.

      Yeah, more like that early Wild West pioneering feeling of the early days of the internet, this feels more like a bunch of tourists moving from their previous fully equipped hotel because of a shitty management to some new hotel which is still partly under construction and everyone, including the management, are still trying to figure out where everything belongs.

              True, but not being worried at all after reading about it happening several times before in extremely similar situations isn’t disagreement.

              It’s misunderstanding or burying your head in the sand at best, doing PR work for the ones about to do it again at worst.

    Jerboa’s last update fixed alot for me. It is pretty annoying to open the app and see a bunch of post about lemmy. Kind of like opening Minds and half the posts are people circle-jerking to the fact that they are on Minds. Like, cool, I’m here too… now why am I here? Post something interesting.

    My only question is if they’re tankies then why even leave Reddit? That’s like a stoner moving to a state where weeds legal then leaving because there’s too much weed.

      Tankies are pro-authoritarian but not pro-corporate.

      Lemmy’s creators were part of a community that got banned IIRC (ChapoTrapHouse)

        Leftists aren’t tankies. Tankies are specifically pro USSR.

        A pro authoritarian state. That’s why they are called tankies after all lol.

          I think this is a matter of all tankies are leftists but not all leftists are tankies.

        Not sure if that was a joke or a sincere lack of familiarity. What tankies want is a restoration and supremacy of the USSR to spread what they called communism.

          Nah, Im just not familiar with them. I keep seeing people referring to them, but never saying exactly what their deal is. Even back on reddit.

            The name comes from the USSR’s practice of deploying tanks to crush dissent.

              I believe the specific moment was when the USSR used tanks to crack down on peaceful protesters in Czechoslovakia; supporters were called tankies.
