I feel like there are almost as many “Stop talking about reddit” poets as there are reddit posts. Most of us JUST left after being there often for five or ten years. There are subreddits still actively protesting. Spez is still trying to spin a story that is contrary to our experience. There is still a lot to talk about but it will naturally die off. Maybe just scroll past the posts you don’t want to read?

I mean, most people who joined recently did so because of something Reddit did. That is something they have in common, so it’s easy to talk about. I agree we should instead focus on making Lemmy the new home, but talking about Reddit is part of the process.

I get it. I do. It’s getting boring, but hear me out…you need to craft your Lemmy.

I still haven’t finished subbing to every community that interests me because there are so many to look at, but they don’t make reddit posts in the communities I’m subscribed to, !catbeanbags for example. Once you’ve selected communities you want to see, change your username’s settings to only show you your subscribed communities. You can skip this step, but you may forget to switch to subscribed from local or all when you log on. Then enjoy your feed and if it turns out you don’t care for a community after all, unsub (like I’m doing to General Discussion–bye everybody).

It’s fantastic, IMHO.

Have fun. It’s your Lemmy. Do whatcha want with it.

While I understand the sentiment, this is not the community for this. I think !vent@lemmy.world & any similar community would be more appropriate for expressing your frustration with the situation.

For discussions concerning Reddit, there are a few different communities you might look to such as !reddit@lemmy.world, !reddit@lemmy.ml, !RedditMigration@kbin.social, and probably others I’m unaware of. The flipside of these suggestions is that these are also the communities those uninterested in the topic may block if they wish to minimize the amount of such discussions they’re seeing in their feed.

I will be locking this thread now. Constructive threads concerning the transfer of information or app development from Reddit to Lemmy here remain okay, but threads simply complaining will be locked and redirected to the aforementioned communities to either vent in, or block to hopefully help them.

Thanks for your understanding, and feel free to message me if you need any help in navigating to those communities.

It bores me to death too, but it’s a pretty big drama and a turning point in internet history. People are excited, eager to share their thoughts and experiences. Give it time, it’ll pass eventually.

Have you tried shutting up about it?

nah

Exactly. This place is turning into Reddit 2.0. The fuckers are bandwagoning, close minded, downvote brigading… It’s turning this place into a toxic mess when it could have been better.
