  • I’m not sure why this three-year-old post is showing up now, but uh, if there are subreddits you still want to use after migrating to Lemmy you can set them up as an RSS feed. It’s so much better and you don’t give their site additional engagement or clicks. You can even click the article link from your RSS reader without ever having to go to Reddit. The only subreddit I still use is for my local metroplex/city, since there’s not enough of my neighbors on the Fediverse yet. But now I can see every post as it comes in so I can keep up to date with what’s going on with where I live and find out about deals and sales.

    You just take the URL for the subreddit and add “.rss” to the end and that’s it.

    Example: “https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditName.rss







  • Data gained through integration of an instance is far more than what’s gained in scraping. The data gained through federation will no doubt increase as Meta adds new features that require more data in order to federate with them. They have over a decade of evidence showing us they’re evil and have no respect for privacy or people. I do not understand your logic in saying it’s okay to federate, it’s like watching somebody defend an abusive partner. They’ve hurt you and communities in the past, stop giving them more rope. The devil does not need an advocate.




  • lemmy.world will definitely give you a bigger pool of potential subscribers to pull from but Beehaw is defederated from lemmy.world at the moment. So people from Beehaw couldn’t participate until we refederate with them.

    There was like, a whole thing. I still see memes from lemmy.world users about it whenever I log into that account lol. To summarize, Lemmy moderation tools kinda suck for the time being and to maintain the chill Beehaw atmosphere it was easier to defederate until better mod tools get developed because they have open registration so a lot of trolls and bad actors from lemmy.world were coming into Beehaw bein’ dicks.


  • Oh okay, I think I misunderstood. You’re not wanting to make a community for the general sense of content creators (ex: writing, poetry, comics, blogging, animation, etc.) but more so a community centered around streamers specifically.

    That makes more sense! I think that a community like that could be made if enough people on Beehaw wanted it? Idk the answer to that though.


  • I didn’t mean to imply it was a bad idea, on the contrary, I think it’s a great idea and something I’d like to be a part of. I just wasn’t sure what a small content creator community would look like if not self promotion and boosting each other.

    It could pertain to issues they’re having as a content creator, but that’s going to vary widely depending on the content they’re making. If it’s a twitch streamer like yourself specific questions might be better suited to the Gaming community. If it’s for art/writing content creation (like me) issues/questions might be better suited for the Creative community.

    That’s more what I meant, what would the small content creator community look like that couldn’t already be better served by the specific content communities? And how would we prevent it from becoming a ladder of self promotion?


  • Yeah I’m not sure if Beehaw would make a community for that tbh. (mods/admins feel free to correct this) They just did a survey like two-ish weeks ago (?) which asked the Beeple what communities should be added. It also might be considered too spammy/self-promotey for Beehaw? I know that’s not generally their vibe. But it could be made on another instance that allows you to create your own communities if you were super inclined to get that started? You’d have at least one subscriber if you did haha (it me, I’m subscriber).
