One of Reddit’s biggest communities is suggesting users move to Discord r/malefashionadvice, the biggest Reddit community still inaccessible in protest of Reddit’s new API pricing, is encouraging its users to congregate on Discord and view guides on Substack.

I have never heard of that sub, and I frequently visited r/all to be honest.

Personally I feel like Discord is more like a chat app than a 'forum' in a way like Reddit and Lemmy are.

from bad to worse

I don't understand why moving to discord is a thing when we have Lemmy serving the exact same purpose as reddit but even better.

Is there a solid lemmy community for MFA?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Considering the numerous comments I've read in the last few days saying something along the lines of, "What!? Cargo shorts are out of style? I'm never giving up my cargo pockets!"

I'm guessing that currently there isn't a lot of overlap between those two communities. But I'm hopeful that a MFA and a Frugal MFA take root here soon!

Cargo shorts are back in style since last year by the way. Part of the general Nineties revival.

Second post of this I've seen in a couple days so I was curious and joined it. It's very active and I'm going in thinking that it is a good move. Active conversations suits fashion advice IMO.

Here's a link in case you're curious: https://discord.gg/Z7mACcrfJV

Edit: I like it.

While it's not ideal for most subreddits, I do get why they do this in general. A lot of subreddits prior to the API protests already had a Discord server where the community would congregate. I was already in r/deadmau5's Discord server during the COVID pandemic, and it used to be the official Discord for electronic musician deadmau5 and his label to the point where he and his label signees would actually talk in there. That was changed after his management decided to try integrating crypto/NFT shit into it which the owner of the server disagreed with, but the point still stands.

Don't you get paid per views on Substack?

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

I think it's by number of people who signed up for your letter and read it. Then you can sell ad space in your newsletters.

I saw yesterday that /r/hardwareswap has stopped using Reddit and moved to Discord, makes sense since they used the API a bit for confirmed trades and the likes.
