I would say Reddit became mainstream in 2015 with over approximately 100 million users. That’s when I started noticing the quality of comments start going down. That’s when people stopped having discussions and started bickering more. Before that it was a lot less hostile and the topic of discussions were more fun and informative.
There was also a lot of OC at the time. You just needed to join subs in order to see it. But it was there.
I agree that the standards were lower. That resulted in a lot of fun because things were easier. It would be harder to gain momentum that way now.
The thing about link aggregation is that it can be done on any platform. You can post links to Piefed, Bluesky, Mastodon, Nostr along with all mainstream sites. So why choose Lemmy over them?
The difference will be the OC. If users don’t want to put in the work for it then people who join will get bored and move on.
I’ll read comments on Reddit talking about Lemmy. Users will say they tried Lemmy but there was no interest/posts/discussion in their niche communities so they ended up back on Reddit.
We’ll see what happens I guess.
It didn’t take a decade for OC on smaller communities. I’ve been using Reddit since 2009. There was plenty of OC since ~2012.
Lemmy could use more OC in niche communities.
Most posts are links to other websites.
It might be good to try and post OC from Lemmy or the rest of the Fediverse to mainstream social media sites as a form of exposure.
Maybe we can get this type of idea to become more common here.
I am too. The premise seems interesting.
From the trailers it actually looks really good. My fingers are crossed.
Very cool, thanks for the heads up!
Shit.
The first season of The Bear is shot on old lenses. I’m not sure if they are also using old cameras but the outcome feels really cool.
I think it fits perfectly and elevates the feel of the show.
I’m not sure about the newer seasons though.
Edit: Apparently they used Panavision lenses.

It seems some are made with old glass and coatings but I’m having trouble finding specifics.
Super Green.
Where can you make recommendations? Also, how do we know which movies have already been watched so we don’t recommend them again?
I’ll just leave them here.
District 9(2009)
Killers of the Flower Moon(2023)
