MODERATORS
 

The landed gentry are only in charge until the king comes to town and chops off a few heads. At least that seems to be the case at Reddit, where CEO Steve Huffman pretended his complaints about current moderators — who were protesting his decision to effectively cut off API access to tons of useful…

Just wait for July 1st! Once millions of people find their apps not working anymore and their porn gone there's no way going back for Reddit.

It's that last part that's going to break their knees, lol

Make sure to point everyone to wefwef.app and Sync for Lemmy!

Also Lemmynsfw.com 🤨

Edit: Fyi nsfw content isn't visible without an account

Lemmy NSFW is mostly just full of accounts posting non-NSFW images of celebrities in a way that looks like they are all run by the same person. Other than that it's basically dead.

...You're just viewing it without an account; instances won't show nsfw without one.

It's very active already

Signed up an account and took a look around.

There's some NSFW content now but it's not all that different from what I described. Every community I look at is lucky to have 5 posts and many of them have all been created recently.

I don't have a horse in this race, but have you seen any of Reddit's NSFW subs? Most posts are by bots.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Bots and by people trying to slyly advertise their OF accounts for sure.

Every oak tree was once an acorn

What...? The main comms have hundreds of posts and thousands of subscribers already despite the instance being created just over 2 weeks ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now go and pay attention to the age of the posts. I'll wait.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're posted about when you'd expect in hot?

nsfw

Lets just use your own screenshot for a second.

Do you think all the posts in it that are practically all posted at the same time (16-17 hours ago) is normal, organic user behavior to you?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's just about the average amount of time posts take to hit 'hot'; it was similar in reddit too.

Pretty constant stream of posts in new:

nsfw

Hopefully the faking to them making it pays out I guess.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

? You mean the same users making multiple posts?

You'd be surprised how many posts on reddit is by the same few people too; mere percentages actually make and post content. Not that it matters much since it is still content.

wefwef.app is an excellent apollo replacement, and the apollo export migration flow was a godsend!
