What are we going to do about it?
Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

Reddit is literally unusable now. I use old.reddit to browse certain subs but there’s no point commenting or interacting cause pretty much everything gets you banned
Reddit removed a picture of 3 people standing around a cybertruck from the front page today because it “went against community guidelines”
What was the picture?
Maybe we need a shitRedditBans community here to repost all the stuff that get banned for bad reasons there? Could be risky, I guess, but could be great with some good moderation.
Interesting you mention this. I guess it’s more common than I realized.
The literal reason I looked around and came here a few days ago is because of exactly this.
Someone posted a picture of a blue hat that said “Is he dead yet” with the caption that is crazy the whole planet knows who is referring to.
I commented that the planet will be a better place when it happens.
Instant ban for a week.
The bot banning me stated “Threats and violence” as the rule.
So ya…I’m not going back to that.
Do you have ideas to get more people to move over from Reddit to Lemmy?
A lot of people use reddit in Google searches because it has high quality information. Ie solving technical problems etc. This sort of information needs to be hosted here. If Lemmy wants to be the new reddit, it needs to host this sort of helpful, high quality information that other users upvote
whatisthisthing, and whatisthisplant were very interesting niche subs. it will be hard for people to come here, as there are also adjacent subs. also medical conditions too they are found on a ton of forums.
Make 1 to 1 copies of existing subreddits and maybe some kind of automation tool to take the subreddits someone is currently part of and subscribe the Lemmy versions of them automatically. That plus for now some people could repost content from these subreddits to Lemmy, so the feed isn’t so empty and also I don’t know how Google crawlers work exactly but searching for Reddit posts through Google is a big benefit of Reddit for me, if Lemmy could also show up in Google results or if Lemmy builds it’s own internal search to a level that’s equal to or better than Google that would also help
I’m currently plan something like this. But I don’t think just posting everything would be a good idea. I thought about a few uprising posts a day at most per community.
Lemmy already gets indexed by search engines.
I’ve started Europe Pub about 10 days ago and Google has already indexed hundreds of pages: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aeurope.pub
I think mapping existing subreddits to Fediverse equivalents is a great idea and would be very helpful to have as a resource. Sub.Rehab did something to that nature, although I don’t think it’s being maintained anymore sadly.
abandon fediverse and all federation bs. Oh wait.
Couldn’t reply to comments on my post a few days ago. “Server error”. Deleted my account.
