Lagpas dalawang linggo na pala ang community na ito dito.
I’ve been checking Lemmy almost ever since the weekend just before the blackouts, replacing Reddit as my addiction (of sorts). I’ve also managed to subscribe to a good number of communities, such that my feed is now quite healthy with content. I almost never get the urge to browse Reddit anymore, not even with all the mention of it in my feed.
How about you guys? Kamusta naman ang Lemmy experience ninyo thus far?
I still go to reddit for some of my interests that aren’t here yet, but for news, I use Lemmy na.
Ayun lang. Ayaw kong tignan yung mga subreddits for my interests na ala dito. Natatakot akong maging marupok at magbalik-loob kay Poong $₱€Ƶ eh. HAHAHA!
But i need my news about wrestliiiiing hahaha. Seriously though, I’m trying to limit my usage na. Siguro pag nagupgrade na ang Lemmy World to .18 mas magagamit ko since wala na dapat yung autopopulation ng bagong posts sa All.
I know, right? Not about wrestling, pero may ganyang itch din ako kahit papaano. Laking tulong ng Teddit at yung Privacy Redirect for those times na talagang di ako makapagpigil na sumilip (at di naman kailangang makihalubilo dun).
Lagi kong nakakalimutan na may Teddit nga pala, will try to use that nalang. Salamat sa reminder.
Try mo yung Privacy Redirect na addon para di mo na kailangang isipin. Meron siyang option to replace Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, and Reddit (among others). Para pag may ma-click kang link to any of those you opt to replace (say, Reddit) i-eedit nya yung link.
Now, I have to specifically temporary disable redirection for Reddit, to go to Reddit (if I am checking my accounts for any comments/posts for anything na nag-macArthur).
18.1 yata hinihintay nila, sa 18 kasi pwedeng dumugin ng spam account
Aww, sana mabilis yung release ng 18.1.
Ever since the blackout, I barely go back. The only times that I do is 1) to look for AskReddit material for the RD thread, 2) when someone links to juicy content, 3) close down r/thevisoria, and 4) peek at r/PH’s frontpage occasionally, particularly nung polling.
But I stopped posting and likely never will again. Wala rin ako itch to do so.
Edit: Ayan napasilip tuloy ako doon and found out that Couples For Christ have been gone for a while now, there’s a courier called HBK, and questions about phone brand and opening an OnlyFans account.
Thank you for the effort maglagay ng content dito para maengage ang members.
Uhm… 👀
You know what, after reading some of the replies here, I’m starting to think of this place as some kind of a safe zone, a lounge where people can just relax and take a break from all of the havoc happening elsewhere online.
onga buti dumami na users kaya dami na rin posts+comments, sana dumami pa sa July 1
Sana nga rin. At sana yung mga matitino ang dumagsa dito. Lol!
Oo nga, guys like cheese_sticks and also those who appeared to have opted out a long time ago like GuitarEater2. Sana they end up stumbling here.
Ano nga ba nangyari kay Guitareater? Alam ko nadelete ang original account niya for some reason, pero yung second account niya naging inactive lang ba?
Judging from his semi-return last year, I think nag-decide siya iabandon yung r/PH voluntarily and just checked back in that one time. He wasn’t banned or anything.
Haha! Seriously hoping hindi pumunta dito ang feeling mod at yung mra na apparently conspiracy theorist din.
Ay, teka, anuyan? Hahaha! Parang nakakatakot mag-usisa. Blissfully ignorant ako sa mga kaganapan dun sa kabila eh.
Don’t worry about it nalang hahaha. Pero matagal na sila sa r/ph and sa opinion ko super problematic sila.
si pobautista ba ituu? Hahaha
Uy chismis 👀👀👀
Hindi kaya yung Redditor na pro-eugenics na palagi na-ba-ban nang more than 18 times using his alt accounts? Speaking of MRAs, wag nang pumunta si Shohei dito.
Okay naman. Kaso ung dose of irl drama ko wala dito kaya I use libreddit for offmychestph and rel advice ph HAHAH

Ay! Thanks for reminding me of that. Tagal na rin akong may Mastodon, pero sobrang hirap makahanap ng PH content, lalo na yung news and current events. Umabot sa point na recently nag-iisip ako kung kakayanin ko bang gumawa ng bot pang-repost galing Philippine news sources as well as PAG-ASA and Philvolcs. Kaso may nag-remind sa akin ginto na pala ang API access sa Twitter.
Mag-tatanong-tanong nga sana ako dito kung may alam silang magandang i-follow for PH-related things sa Mastodon eh. Forgot all about that tho until your reply.
the search function of mastodon is easier to use than lemmys but i find conversations easier here. mas may community na vibe dito that is missing in mastodon. am now using this community more than reddit. edit: thanks for the news bots.
wanted to support the federation so after setting up mastodon, i also created a pixelfed account. i like the instance (pxlmo.com), just people sharing their photos and art. sa mga nagbabalak iwan ang instagram, join us.
Limang araw na lang (anim sa ibang bansa) tatanggalin na nila ang mga thrid party apps. Masaya na ako dito sa lemmy, medyo may bugs ang jeroba pero okay na man.
Oo nga eh. Wag na lang pansinin ang mga bugs and to an extent, di ko na rin talaga napapansin.
It’s been slow for lemmy communities to form. Partly na rin siguro madami parin fence sitters sa reddit debacle up until July I suppose. Kaunti palang nasasalihan kong communities tho.
Pansin ko lang, nag nose dive na moderation sa rph. I don’t know if it’s just me but the posts are all over.
Yeah. Kaumay nga eh.
There are people there who want escapism due to how things are now. So they come up with casual low-effort content, thinking it’s fun than reading depressing or infuriating news headlines. Coping mechanism nila… as if r/casualPH wasn’t big enough.
Also, some people also wanting to get rid of the very things that make us Filipino, and expect to ape another supposedly advanced Asian culture, so posting threads about it. It’s that same supposedly “intelligent” mindset which brought us the likes of, duh, GetRealPhilippines and Defensor-Santiago.
Not wanting to toot my own horn but some of this is me, I think. I’m very unforgiving of low-effort posts that could be answered with just one reply. Tipong topics that belong in the Help Thread or already been asked/addressed several times before. Makukulong ka ba if hindi mo binayaran yung 800 pesos na balance sa PLDT or takbuhan mo Anytime Fitness membership. Best earphones for 200 pesos na goods na goods. IT o Accounting, ano kukunin ko na course? Innova o Avanza?
Karma farm or redundant threads bwisit rin kami. Yung mga “Ako lang ba naiinis sa utang na loob”, “What’s your favorite pancit canton?”, “Toxic Filipino Culture”, tinatanggal ko na lang without any explanation, lol.
The last month or so we were very consistent with this to the point na yung mga threads na otherwise matatabunan papunta sa third page, get a chance to shine. A good example was DENR planting the wrong Mangrove specie — it only had 11 replies on its first day and mushroomed to 195 in just a few days.
LMAO. I had to stop myself from flaming the Piattos flavor thread. If the mods really are quietly stepping away, I fully support it. We didn’t get the chance to troll protest like the other cool subs. I guess this is my consolation.
r/philippines is no longer a valuable place for anything Philippines. Some PSAs, natatabunan na rin dahil sa mga bwisit na imported socmed dramas na wala naman tayo, mga Redditors, walang pake.
Karma points instigate how good or bad you are on Reddit, so kung negative karma ka, they’ll proceed to call you as “troll” lol
Bruh…
Yeah, r/ph is kinda shitty now. Sana ni-utilize nila yung other filipino subreddits instead of just lumping it in one place. There’s AskPH, CasualPH, PHGaming etc. and if you like shitposting, there’s 2philippines4u but because r/ph is the biggest filipino subreddit they flocked to it and posted there because where will they get their sweet, sweet karma? And then there’s the screenshot posts. If screenshot ng news, sana man lang kahit dinagdag nila yung source instead na nagmamadali silang ipost para sa kuhhhrma. 😑😑
Just to add to this: us mods hate screenshot posts and editorialized titles because it makes it difficult to police duplicates and harms discussion.
Instead of just one thread from Philstar about (hypothetical lang) the onion cartel leader being arrested, you have three other threads. One is a link to a Twitter post by Philstar with the title “Unity pa more”, the second is a screenshot of their post from FB titled “Thoughts?”, and thirdly, the same link but with a slightly different headline. Then each thread has like 20 comments each that could have been collated into one.
Yung iba naman na kating kati mag-post, hindi nila masabi if may existing na ba kasi nga when they search for “onion cartels” hindi susulpot sa results yung tatlo because of the title… leading to more and more dupe threads.
