They may not care so much about that since they don’t make any ad revenue from those subreddits

What a fascinating project. I’m of two minds about using the storyboard sketch style for the reconstructed content.

On one hand, the footage is lost, and nothing anyone does will be original, so we shouldn’t try to disguise the truth and try to mimic the real footage with the reconstructed segments. Let the original pieces shine and be honest about what has been filled in.

On the other hand, this is something where the use of deepfake technology or incredibly high quality CGI and audio recreation could be a real benefit, so the audience could be immersed in the story without being distracted by the reconstructed content.

It goes both ways. Do you do your best to show the original content and fill in with just enough to keep the story together, or do you try to truly recreate the lost content even though it will never be exactly what they originally created? Do you supplement or replace?

 

I tried visiting r/pics (which was recently marked NSFW in a protest of malicious compliance) and was blocked by this message. Sorry if it’s already been posted- I can’t figure out search too well.

You’re not the only one! That’s partly why I made that post- on Reddit I would make 1-2 posts a year and only got real traction with 1 or 2 ever. I was always too late for my comments to matter and I usually just browsed and voted.

Here, the community is smaller so each post and comment matters more, and for the most part I’ve found it a lot more welcoming. I realized that engaging more proactively was a lot more fun than on Reddit, and I thought that others would probably be thinking the same way so maybe this post would help break down that passive habit so many of us have from Reddit.

If you do the “Install App” process it actually feels like a standalone app. Not sure how it works without the App Store.

Agreed. I read Wool for the first time a couple weeks ago and watched the first 2 episodes just to see that storyline in live action, and was really disappointed by the lack of the reveal.

 

We’re about to enter another Reddit mass migration phase starting tonight. We’ve already attracted the users most actively engaged with the protests and Reddit’s changes—users who are driven enough to put in the effort to grow the Fediverse.

Now we need to make it feel like home to casual users and lurkers. Not just attract them for a few visits, but keep it interesting enough that they stay here in the coming weeks/months.

Major kudos to all the developers working day and night to bring us familiar-feeling apps and interfaces on insanely short timelines. But what can the rest of us do to make Kbin and Lemmy feel like home to all the new Reddit refugees? Populate Lemmy and Kbin with as much quality content as you can find!

Over the next few weeks, fill your magazines/communities with as much good the content as you can. Post comments and subscribe to things. Click that upvote button on content or comments you like.

Not sure where to find good content? Ironically, check out your favorite subreddits for ideas. Make sure we have the best of the content you can find on Reddit. See a good article or link? Post it here! Don’t be shy about posting to interactive communities like Ask Lemmy- we’re after volume.

For OC Reddit posts, see if there’s a non-Reddit page to post here. I don’t know whether it’s acceptable to copy text posts, but if you do, make sure you at least give credit/copy a link to the original post.

Basically, do everything you can to engage over the next few weeks and avoid lurking. Show off the Fediverse and welcome the next group of Reddit refugees to their new home.

Edit: I completely forgot to call out all the people hosting and upgrading instances to help with the massive influx of users and keep the sites stable. Thank you, hosts!

I haven't yet heard a Ray Porter narration I didn't love.

How does it feel on Mastodon posts? Are you able to follow Mastodon users?

I haven’t found a way to, and when I visit Lemmy communities via Mastodon, I can’t really post or upvote or downvote. The UI is totally different- literally like browsing Reddit using Twitter’s interface. An app that truly combines them will either need two interfaces or some pretty brilliant UI/UX design to make everything work in one interface

That would be great. It’ll take some pretty good UI/UX design to make a single experience that works well for both types of communities. Looking forward to seeing what developers come up with.

 

Mastodon has a ton of apps and Lemmy app development is going crazy right now. Are there any apps that can use both Lemmy and Mastodon accounts (and preferably Kbin accounts too)? I know the interfaces may need to be different, but the protocols are the same as far as I understand it, so it seems technically possible.

Depending on where you live, submit a deletion request under your privacy law. If they don’t do it for you, most laws allow you to sue them individually or as part of a class action, or you could report it to your privacy regulator and sic that headache on them.
