It depended on how you used reddit. They were extremely fast, had no ads, trackers or javascript so were extremely privacy friendly. But they were read only so you couldn’t engage with the reddit content through them.
It’s an interesting thing to ponder and my opinion is that like many other things in life something being ‘OC’ is a spectrum rather than a binary thing.
If I apply a B&W filter on an image is that OC? Obviously not
But what if I make an artwork that’s formed by hundreds of smaller artworks, like this example? This definitely deserves the OC tag
AI art is also somewhere in that spectrum and even then it changes depending on how AI was used to make the art. Each person has a different line on the spectrum where things transition from non OC to OC, so the answer to this would be different for everyone.
If you want some method of making all filenames have same format, use advanced renamer
If you want something to automatically fetch metadata, use calibre or YAClibrary.
Yea some countries have strict piracy laws, that’s why using a VPN and following basic privacy becomes necessary while pirating.
Ahh yes this is one of my favorite quotes and one I think about a lot.

This is probably outdated since feddit federates with us, I even joined some of their communities.
Right now it’s not even mastodon compatible let alone lemmy. There are some arguments on how federating with them will allow people to migrate to a more privacy respecting instance and still view threads content, and some users say this will allow them to still communicate with their friends who don’t want to switch away from threads.
So while we do lean towards defederating from it, it’s some months away before we need to actually decide and till then we are simply listening to and discussing both sides of the argument.
that community got famous so naturally will have more posts now, can’t do (or should) anything about it imo. Thanks for thinking about the instance though.
Correct me if I’m wrong but from what I’ve seen about it seems like a Mastodon/Twitter alternative? Lemmy really doesn’t have anything to do with it since we can’t even view mastodon posts here.
looking at the app it seems it’s launched with just local content feed with a promise of being mastodon compatible in the future. I guess specifically to generate some unqiue content so people join.
the brand and million of dollars for ads. They’ll push it as the main hub to browse mastodon content and then slowly try to make it a walled garden.
I don’t see them blocking any instance.
To be sure I subscibed to a community from there and it’s federating fine https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/[email protected]
A subscription import/export function would be much easier to implement but I don’t think that’s what users want when they say they want instance migration functionality.
r/antiwork mods ‘making it work’ for a company like reddit for free is just the biggest irony tbh.
for personal use, main reasons are you won’t have to worry about instance admins making arbitrary decisions that you don’t agree with, and no worries about server overload or downtime.
for making an instance for public, helping fediverse become a more viable alternative by spreading the load over more instances and helping it grow.
There’s https://redditle.com/ if you just want reddit results. I’ve had it bookamrked and find it pretty useful.
While we can’t expect meme communities to do any better since that’s what memes are supposed to be, I hope news and tech communities are better in this regard.
All I want is that top comments under posts are something insightful and related to the post, and not just the same one liner boring jokes that keep getting upvoted for some reason.
If you want fan translated chapters - Mangadex
for official translations - Mangasee
