i wonder if there's a sneaky arbitrage play here, lurking in the shadows.

most people on reddit (including myself) are there to lurk, not really participating in conversations, but reading content, memes, news articles, etc.

is there room in the new reddit API charging scheme to, say, snapshot all the most popular NN subreddits, including conversations, every 6 hours or so, and cache and serve that read-only snapshot to visitors (in a separate app, web UI, whatever)? maybe even charge $.99 a month or something for the privilege of never having to log into reddit?

a winning instance That would defeat the purpose. Lemmy is a fediverse application. The whole point is decentralization. A winning instance would concentrate power in the hands of one admin. We don’t want that!

> Lemmy is a fediverse application. The whole point is decentralization. No, that's just a marketing lie. The biggest instances have politically-charged "codes of conduct" that other instances are forced to adopt or be defederated. IIRC, some instances even require those rules to be applied transitively, that is, they will defederate from your instance unless you enforce their rules on all instances that you federate…

> politically-charged "codes of conduct"

I wonder what are you calling "politically-charged code of conduct here". Do you have an example?

Are you talking about that one single instance that became famous for having a strict code of conduct?

Why don't we just bring back the OG internet? Google scraped every site on earth back in the day and nobody blinked.

Who's building a new, unstoppable, Google, that will just gather all this content up, and make knowledge freely available to humanity?

Kind of sad. I used to use libreddit or teddit for my reddit fix but they’re all broken now. Maybe it’s for the better so I can stop using reddit completely. With LLMs, it replaced most of my google and reddit needs anyways.

what? how do LLMs replace your reddit usage?

What I use Reddit/Google search for, which LLMs can also do:

- Searching info to solve my problems, obviously

- Entertainment… depends on niche

That’s it, okay maybe also po- (jk)

Thank god for that act. Otherwise there might be fraud on the internet

Because all people comply with the law, especially the ones considering doing fraud on the internet

Centralization was literally the entire point of Reddit for anybody that visited more than one sub. We already had a decentralized Reddit—-it is called The Internet.

the internet is a network but reddit and lemmy are services made for creating sub communities

> Lemmy is the New Reddit I hope so, but we need a winning instance first. When you search for Lemmy right now you're sent to a page that begins with "Join a Server... Run a Server". That kind of first experience will never replace Reddit. Lemmy.world seemed to be winning the SEO battles in my Google search. Is that a good one? Edit: Sorry for changing my entire post; I had incomplete information about Lemmy at the t…

Huh? My experience consisted of visiting lemmy and signing up. Also, and separately, huh? You can share links on lemmy without logging in. Look, here's one: https://lemmy.ml/post/2069154 So, you can visit without being prompted to select a server. You can sign up without having to look through servers. And you can share links without logging in. So what am I missing?

> Huh? My experience consisted of visiting lemmy and signing up.

You can't "visit lemmy". Which instance did you visit and signed up, lemmy.ml?

Seeing all Reddit apps shut down, I can't help but wonder — what is it that made everyone play by the rules? What happened to the adversarial interoperability spirit?

Why doesn't youtube-dl break this law?

Isn't it do similar operations to extract videos from websites?

More like 20-25 years ago

ICQ was the messaging service everyone around me used in the late 00s. The two most popular clients were QIP and Miranda. Then VKontakte introduced instant messaging and ICQ was quickly forgotten. Then, around 5 years later, people started gradually switching to Telegram. Today almost everyone I chat with uses Telegram.

What alternatives? I am here because I lost access to Reddit. Lemmy is not a replacement. A totally different experience for every sub-Reddit is not going to work. Reddit was pitched as The Front Page of the Internet. Where is the front page of Lemmy?
