Doesn’t have the “updates” part, but there is !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world

KingBigYoshi@lemm.ee on 08 Mar 08:59 collapse

Not what I’m looking for unfortunately, but thank you anyway

The “update” part meant all the posts were long and engaging stories spanning multiple posts condensed to a single post over a period of between a week to a decade potentially.

Don’t think we’ve been around long enough for such things really.

Fizz@lemmy.nz on 10 Mar 15:43 collapse

There isn’t many of those so its probably best to just put any you find in bestoflemmy

threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works on 08 Mar 09:14 next collapse

I found a few, none active, but some which could be consolidated or revived.

  • !bestupdates@lemmy.world (mostly reposts from Reddit)
  • !bestofuserupdates@lemmy.world (consolidated with the above)
  • !best_of_post_updates@lemmy.world (should be consolidated with the above)
  • !bestoflemmyupdates@lemmy.world (Probably the best option, could likely be revived)

I follow lemmit.online/c/bestofredditorupdates It’s updated daily. I understand this is not what it want but I enjoy it.

Artyom@lemm.ee on 08 Mar 14:05 next collapse

This is gonna be the best option for a while. r/bestofredditorupdates only thrives because it pulls from like 10 very large story subs. Lemmy doesn’t even have all of the equivalent story communities, much less the content speed.

Spacehooks@reddthat.com on 09 Mar 13:22 collapse

Besides the fact those editors are Consolidating lengthy multiple posts and relevant Comments. Must feel like a full time job. I barely have time to just read 80% of them.

Please forgive my ignorance, but how would I go about viewing that in my Lemmy app (boost)? I’m still getting used to everything here

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 08 Mar 21:02 collapse

!bestofredditorupdates@lemmit.online

paranoid@lemmy.world on 08 Mar 21:14 collapse

Thank you so much! Though there’s a typo in the link. For posterity - !bestofredditorupdates@lemmit.online

Edit: actually I still get a 404 so maybe I’m the problem 😔

Spacehooks@reddthat.com on 09 Mar 13:17 next collapse

Wierd Both Links worked for me.

sometimes my connection to the community goes down but I get a warning about my instance when it happens.

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 09 Mar 13:22 collapse

I edited in the meantime

Spacehooks@reddthat.com on 09 Mar 13:23 collapse

Oh lol

elephantium@lemmy.world on 09 Mar 13:44 collapse

I see the same thing, 404. Maybe a federation issue between lemmy.world and lemmit.online?

I see !bestofuserupdates@lemmy.world, !bestupdates@lemmy.world, and !best_of_post_updates@lemmy.world, but they haven’t seen any activity in quite a while.

SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz on 08 Mar 10:15 next collapse

This is unfortunately why I don’t think the fediverse will thrive: the majority of folks on here are so privacy-focused, that many of them refuse to tell personal stories or antecedents.

It’s extremely unfortunate.

db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 08 Mar 11:05 next collapse

Eventually the eternal September will come and this will change

hanke@feddit.nu on 08 Mar 11:14 next collapse

I think the crowd you are describing are just the wave of technological first adopters who usually have these traits.

As Lemmy becomes more mainstream, the less privacy focused users will grow in numbers and soon you will have more of this type of posts.

RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works on 08 Mar 12:20 collapse

I don’t know that there ever will be a wave of casual users like Reddit and Digg have. This space is filled with substantially more aggressive people than either of those spaces while simultaneously lacking the community of a range of fields that was the original draw for those sites.

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 08 Mar 12:22 next collapse

The average comment on Reddit seems more aggressive than the one on Lemmy. Of course, depends on the community

moonlight@fedia.io on 08 Mar 14:11 next collapse

I think there are more "intense" people here (in a good way), but reddit can more aggressive and negative in general on the big subreddits.

RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works on 08 Mar 15:00 collapse

I don’t think it is in a good way. Im blocking a LOT of racists here especially racist tankies.

moonlight@fedia.io on 08 Mar 17:42 collapse

I was referring to Linux nerds, piracy anarchists, privacy/foss fanatics, etc. All of which are great, but may scare off new users.

Tankies are definitely a bit of a problem, although they usually stick to their own instances. Luckily I haven't encountered much if any racism on here. Where are you seeing it?

RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works on 09 Mar 01:42 collapse

All over this place. Most often it’s people who consistently highlight the race they presume the other person to be while attacking them.

RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works on 08 Mar 14:59 collapse

Im blocking people here daily for being racists. It’s really odd how much racism I see here. It’s not as bad as Voat was but I wouldn’t casually suggest most check this place out.

xorollo@leminal.space on 08 Mar 16:29 next collapse

I think that due to reddits size, individual people had less overall work to do blocking bad actors.

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 09 Mar 12:53 collapse

Any recent example?

RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works on 09 Mar 12:59 collapse

I report it and move on. Im not looking to highlight it here.

Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 09 Mar 13:01 collapse

Okay

RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works on 09 Mar 16:12 collapse

Im not sure what you are expecting here. Repeating racist statements isn’t something I think is beneficial andI have explained elsewhere in this thread the nature of the racism I see.

VirtualOdour@sh.itjust.works on 08 Mar 15:15 next collapse

I half agree but also I think with every extra step reddit takes like banning people for upvoting posts that mention Luigi we see more people interested in a freer alternative.

What lemmy needs is some new use cases reddit doesn’t have, I’ve been thinking about making an adversary debate platform that basically just offers a different format to a thread designed to make understanding events easier. Also I want to try making gamified chat modes where the main image is altered based on agreement or disagreement in the thread, basically an info graphic of the thread.

I’d love to make some game experiences on it too, I was thinking of a similar collaborative experience where user interactions in the thread alter the main image gameboard - would be great to use the existing floss infrastructure to make something open and fun.

Die4Ever@programming.dev on 08 Mar 17:09 collapse

IDK, people will probably eventually leave Reddit, as they left Digg and Myspace and many others. Where would they go aside from the Fediverse? Almost all new alternatives being built are using the Fediverse, and it’s the only way to get more than 1000 users currently.

It might not be Lemmy, it might even be a platform that doesn’t exist yet, but they’ll be here in the Fediverse with us.

Most platforms die or never catch on at all, but the Fediverse allows the platforms to rotate in and out without losing the users or content.

RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works on 09 Mar 12:41 collapse

There’s no reason to believe they will move on to another version of reddit. There’s no reason to believe they will interact with the fediverse.

They could simply stop browsing news aggregators

Die4Ever@programming.dev on 09 Mar 17:25 collapse

Well yeah some of the people, but I think the majority (or at least a large portion of them) will want a similar alternative to switch to, along with an entirely new generation of people

Flax_vert@feddit.uk on 08 Mar 13:29 collapse

I’ve seen quite a few on asklemmy
