    I check out reddit every few days and tbh lemmy has the same amount of mainstream content. The only difference is that reddit niche subs are more active.

    I think the fact that anyone can make the same community on a new instance diminishes niche communities more. If I pick a game on reddit ill find 2 or so instances with lots of use. On lemmy there will be 10 communities all mostly abandoned.

    You can feel a difference on reddit though. Quality content and content numbers are greatly reduced from even a month ago.









  • I imagine as it grows it will become more useful. It’s not particularly my viewpoint that lemdro.id isnt useful. The opposite is true. I was just pointing out in my original post that, sadly, all I’ve gotten sofar were unhelpful bot responses. I wasnt particularly trying to push an agenda or anything. I like lemdro.id and am registered there and will help where I can to make it better… but also bots… :D


  • This is one of the bots that responded. I did a “bad bot” type reply to it and it delete or someone delete it’s post. https://lemdro.id/u/GPT4

    I dont particularly have an issue with bots and this one is clearly marked a bot. The main issue is that it just searched and summarized the top 10 reddit answers to the same question which I had already done… Im sure the bot didnt break any of the bot rules. It’s just that bots dont generally give good answers to questions without refinement to the parameters. If I was directly using ChatGPT I’m sure I could get it to give an acceptable answer to most questions. But a random bot giving a general answer is not much use. (To me at least).

    Sometimes people just dont have answers to the questions… Bots always do sadly even when they are not correct.

    That is literally what happens every year with r/place. Hundreds of thousands of bots placing pixels based on pregenerated images. Then the bots fight each other. Then reddit uses their own bots to censor things or mod tools to drop a bunch of random pixels over the top of images to wipe them out.
