It's far too late for that. Userbase moved on. Tumblr is dead forever
If tumblr is dead lemmy is fucking extinct we've got way less active users
Lemmy has a discoverability problem. Both at first, for people to even know that it exists, and then for them to find communities centered around their interests.
And since it's so hard to find communities, those often don't reach a sustainable level of users and die.
They allow nudity, but still quite restrictive
Is "female-presenting nipples" still a thing? Because someone seriously writing that in their terms and conditions is the most hilarious and baffling thing ever.
They have to specify because most places ban those, but not man-boobs.
This is the intention, yes. It's still ridiculous.
I'm just imagining moderation trying to evaluate a pic on the moob-to-boob scale before taking a decision.
This is why I never want to be a moderator, lol
There was also DIGG. There were several large aggregators, but they all made changes that lead to mass exoduses to reddit. Back in the day there were sites like SomethingAwful, EBaumsWorld that served up memes and entertainment before we had purpose-built aggregation tools. Eventually reddit will make way for something else (and already has to some degree with its shedding of users to Lemmy).
Lemmy is a drop in the bucket compared to Reddit by any metric you want to use. It's not even close.
But yeah, eventually Reddit will be replaced. Facebook is going through that transition now, and we'll see how well they can retain users with Threads and Instagram.
I never made a claim that Lemmy was even remotely comparable to reddit in size. Just stating that reddit users fled to here, when reddit made staggering changes affecting many.
Eventually reddit will make way for something else (and already has to some degree with its shedding of users to Lemmy).
It's a blip, a pretty insignificant one at that.
It'll probably eventually happen, but I doubt Lemmy will be a significant part of it. But who knows, maybe I'm wrong.
If one of these archive sites would not have the captcha loop that would be amazing.
Used to be slashdot. Some people say it still is.
