Reposting is not a problem, it’s an NSFW server, nobody will downvote repeated content. What was getting down voted were dudes and chubby women showing off.

I cannot affirm with certainty there is correlation, but the main page is far more diverse in people and content since the removal of the downvote, and constant reposting is not a thing I see (at least for now).

Blair will be the coordinator and provide the HQ.

Can you embed pixelfed posts here?

EDIT: You certainly can

I know its late, but in the future try using the support interface feature, its like a raft that replaces the final layers of the support beneath the actual print, it won’t look as good as the top side, but you’d be surprised how much it can mitigate.

Reddit will get increasingly worse the moment they go public, even if they backpeddal on all of the BS (and they did to some extent), I’m already envisioning several Twitter/Twitch/YouTube-like anti-user monetization features that will trickle down one by one over the years. The owners and admins have shown their true colors, there is no undoing that.

If it weren’t for how rough (and personally, confusing) Lemmy is right now, I wouldn’t even consider going back. But if the growth stalls, and communities remain super small, I might hop back, which is why I haven’t deleted my content and account over there yet.

I’m of the opinion that Reddit will become incrementally worse going forward, most users are not bothered right now because the whole API fiasco affects mods and not them, but as usual they miss the forest for the tree. The site will go for the users and creators next, but it won’t be like this, it’ll be one tiny annoying feature at a time to avoid mass abandonment. I’m already looking for alternatives, such as this one, in preparation, but most will put up with anything just to keep consuming the same old content.
