For sure. Responding is the natural thing to do. But, for me at least, I end up reading every response and deciding if I’m safe to just remove the first reported comment, or every child comment, or a mix.

Maybe some mods just delete the parent comment and all children to keep it simple, but I try to weigh each response fairly.

You’re probably better off not interacting with the content that you’re reporting.

I’ll second this. Responding to the problematic content usually just leads to a lot more problematic content that the mods need to sort through.

I don’t visit Reddit much anymore, but isn’t that the way ads have been for awhile over there?

I used to think that when I was a kid. I thought it was someone’s job to watch you go to the bathroom, and then flush the toilet for you when you were done…

Jokes on you. I make stupid faces even when I’m not peeing.

On iOS, I know Arctic and Thunder do. I’m sure others do as well, just not sure off the top of my head.

Some of the Lemmy mobile clients allow anonymously browsing Instances.

So, I’m going to stick with Lemmy. But I did check out Reddit the other day out of curiosity. I was disappointed/envious over the many active posts in my former favorite subreddits, and realized how much I miss that level of engagement. At the same time, I was also appalled at how terrible their mobile site is. I couldn’t even read comments because of how terribly they were displayed.

Ultimately, I’m hoping that Lemmy catches up in some capacity. I refuse to go back to Reddit, but really do want that type of community discussion again.

I thought Gen A was Forrest Gump’s girlfriend?

…I’ll see myself out.

Bean is also worth a try.

The algorithm definitely needs some work.

No idea why the internet goes out every time you guys are out of town. So weird!!

I’ve really been enjoying Bean for Lemmy. It recently made its way into the App Store. And I’ve been using Mammoth for Mastodon.

Ah, I’m on the App Store version. I don’t use Mammoth a whole lot. At least not yet. Somewhere down the line I’ll probably test out some more apps. I’ve really only tried Mammoth and the official app so far.

I use Bean for Lemmy and Mammoth for Mastodon.

Hmm weird, works on my end. But thanks for the extra one just in case!

I think a good place to start is Casual Conversation. There’s no real pressure to force a topic there, and people can, quite literally, have a casual conversation to perhaps lead to organic growth.

Looks like they are getting addressed over there!

I wanted to piggy back off of your comment. Have you learned anything about what’s going on? I’m a mod over at https://lemmy.world/c/miamihurricanes@fanaticus.social and it seems posts haven’t federated for the better part of 2 weeks now.

I’ve definitely been posting on Lemmy far more than I ever posted on Reddit. Trying to do my share and help this community grow!
