Reddit, AI spam bots explore new ways to show ads in your feed

#For sale: Ads that look like legit Reddit user posts

"We highly recommend only mentioning the brand name of your product since mentioning links in posts makes the post more likely to be reported as spam and hidden. We find that humans don't usually type out full URLs in natural conversation and plus, most Internet users are happy to do a quick Google Search," ReplyGuy's website reads.

There are just certain communities that haven't picked up over on Lemmy. D&D, Pathfinder, LFG, and I'm sure many others. I hate reddit with a passion but there is still stuff there.

Not for long. It's about to be non-stop Bots and models just talking back and forth to each other.

I can't wait for it. Couldn't happen to a better corporation.

Something new will rise from the ashes. We might already be on it.

Yeah of course you can find everything on Reddit and clearly not that much on Lemmy.

But Lemmy is the perfect alternative for me. I only go on Reddit through web search results on Ecosia. It’s really only useful for when I’m looking for a specific answer to a specific subject.

About that, how do we get good search results from Lemmy? I feel like the most important thing to me is finding info through google searches

[–] Dariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

Lemmy topics are now found in search engines but I’m almost never specifically looking for something in Lemmy as I’m just browsing through my feed.

Fuck id kill for Grimdank on here.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There's already one. Just be active in it and cross posted some stuff from reddit if needed

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Whats it called cause I cant find it when I search grimdank or even something as simple as 40k?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm surprised you didn't find it. It's the first and only hit on lemmy search https://lemmyverse.link/c/grimdank@lemmy.world

[–] CommunityLinkFixer@lemmings.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !grimdank@lemmy.world

Huh, my search must be fucked. Great.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Time to open a D&D instance!!

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 years ago

running your own instance is not a trivial matter. There's plenty of well run and underutilized instances that could be used instead.

I'm kind of surprised that factorio community here is so inactive. I thought there would be significant overlap between lemmy's technical audience and factorio players.
