What do you use instead?
The links just need to have a “no follow” attribute (which is something that Lemmy could add, if they haven’t already).
Sounds like a good suggestion to make on github. I don’t know how easy it would be to do that for only reddit links, and I’m not sure how the devs would feel about that.
Also, from your link:
The correlation for the number of “dofollow” backlinks is a little bit weaker than that of the total number of backlinks.
Here’s what Tim said about this:
This could be an indication that Google values some nofollowed links from strong pages more than followed links from weak pages. #whoknows Tim Soulo Tim Soulo, CMO Ahrefs
Take this finding with a large pinch of salt. The primary aim of this study was not to analyze the impact of nofollowed vs. followed links and as such, we didn’t make any effort to isolate this factor.
But even if we assume that nofollowed links have no direct impact on SEO, they can still have an indirect impact because: They help diversify your link profile
Natural backlink profiles are diverse.
Your title is terrible. Use the article’s title.
it’s slowly turning into the old twitter.
How?
Don’t get your political coverage from social media. Look for reputable news sources. I block all the political communities.
The problems would only get exacerbated if more of them migrate over here, that’s the issue.
I doubt that it would make Lemmy significantly worse. I’ve already had to block nearly a hundred lemmy communities for containing the “mindless trash” that is abundant on reddit. The reality is that most people aren’t smart and don’t want to browse and participate in intellectual content. They want to mindlessly scroll through endless memes. I have not observed that people on lemmy are overall more intelligent than people on reddit.
I don’t think so. I think Lemmy already & inherently has many of the same problems. People are people, no matter where you go.
Lemmy is only better because it’s not centrally controlled.
Peertube vs Odysee?
Ventoy > Rufus and also bypasses them by default.
I don’t understand why you and others are so mad about this. Stackoverflow is a great resource that takes significant time and money to maintain. I don’t have a problem with the maintainers making money by selling access to train AI on the data.
Having Stackoverflow as an alternative to reddit is important so that people aren’t stuck using reddit.
This is becoming the norm. The ban system is totally broken as they’re handing more and more tasks over to bad AIs. There are constantly tons of complaints from moderators about Reddit’s various broken systems, including the ban system.
The number of subscribers being completely different depending on which instance you search from is really weird/bad too IMO.
This is still working https://medium.com/@Morikko/the-story-of-sync-tab-groups-the-web-extension-for-managing-your-tabs-d40ebb1079ec if you can find a place to download it.
Yeah, I blocked all the meme subs on lemmy. I’m not interested in inviting those. I plan to invite some niche subs that I’ve followed/known about for years that haven’t moved over yet.
Feel free to offer other suggestions. As is, “do nothing” is not going to grow the fediverse.
Any suggestions for improvement?
