For me Lemmy was my gateway to the rest of the Fediverse. I can say I like Lemmy way more than I ever did Reddit. The people are nicer the engagement feels more real and over all it’s a better vibe. Here’s to 2 more everyone!
I know I've been kind of going crazy with my posts, but I've just been thinking about this a lot. I think I've come to the conclusion that Reddit is probably trying to no longer be a forum board. ...
Reddit is a publicly traded company now so they must have infinite (read: unsustainable) growth to their Shareholders®. This means that what you're seeing now is a trend that's only going to get worse. Their entire app is designed around the infinite scroll of the Meta clones, that's incentivized to show as many ads as they can between posts.
They can probably make it worse, like popup ads when clicking on a thread. If they're trying to chase advertisers to the maximum then it could be as bad as those free mobile games. Maybe that'll make people leave Reddit lol.

A comic drawn on a dry-erase whiteboard using blue marker. The first panel mimics a Pokémon battle encounter, showing a male trainer as the player and e^x where a Pokémon would be, and there is a text box where one would be in an actual Pokémon game reading "A wild EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION appeared!" The next panel shows the exponential function being differentiated, now enclosed in parentheses with d/dx preceding it, and the text box says "You used DIFFERENTIATE!" The final panel shows e^x on its own again, with a small sweat drop emitting from the trainer, as the text box says "It's not very effective…"

I sometimes think of the gravitational microlensing that magnifies planets so far away that it is unlikely to ever happen again as it was a chance alignment that just happened to be spotted by our telescopes. Like the planet that may be 4 billion light years away in the Twin Quasar.
We'd probably never be able to verify it, but it's cool to think about.
The Imperial parts were also extremely well executed. Dedra, Syril, Partigaz's actors were all on point and were remarkable complex characters. We were able to see through the inner workings of the Empire ISB, not something typically told in Star Wars stories.
An "is this a pigeon" meme, where the original has a character misidentifying a butterfly as a pigeon.
Here, the duolingo owl is the character gesturing at the butterfly. The butterfly is labeled "me doing my lessons at 1 am". The caption says "is this an early riser?"
Very much so. It's the most gritty Star Wars since Rogue One (unsurprisingly since it's the same story).
I went back to watching the Mandalorian after finishing Andor and it isn't as good in comparison, it's too Disneyfied (I maintain that the show was created for the express purpose of selling Baby Yoda merch).

One of the best things about lemmy is being able to make comments and posts with links, and not getting them removed.
I always have to censor links on any other centralised platform or else they get shadowremoved.
I think Reddit is trying to shift their platform into a media sharing social (like Instagram) rather than a discussion forum
