So I am a big fan of the Fediverse, I love the idea of decentralisation and I believe this is how the future of social media should be. But here starts the problem.
All my friends are using Instagram or TikTok or else. I didnt think of that while I also used Instagram, but I think they are highly addicted. Its not possible for them to not use Instagram for at least 1h when we meet up. When I still used Instagram, I was part of the problem. But now that I left it a couple of months ago, I just realised the problem I used to live in.
Addiction is all about realising you are addicted, but I find it very hard to address the problem. I dont want to harm our friendship over social media and I am afraid that when I tell them about their addiction, they will not agree and find it impolite.
So I believe that social media can only survive if the people use it. Its all about user generated content and while the Fediverse is doing better than ever, it still needs more users ASAP.
How can we achieve getting those people on the Fediverse and, more importantly, hold them here, while they slowly get less addicted to social media and see the potential of the Fediverse.
Thank you for reading and for thinking about possible answers. I wrote the whole text by myself, this is not AI generated.
What I want is a way to read content from the different places and then share stuff here.
What's stopping you?
Automatically, I mean. Is there an app that lets me read reddit stuff and post to the equivalent fediverse communities?
There is a firefox extension and a linux app for this
Help a brother out... Wnat is the name?
There's a bot that crossposts reddit posts here, I forgot it's name because I blocked it. I'll check my blocked list and post it here, brb.
edit: it's this bot: @bot@lemmit.online
Oh, not the same. I'm talking about an app that would work like a feed reader + share button. Remember Google Buzz? Something like it.
Consider https://surf.social/ as an option.
I've tried it, but it only does the easy half of the job. It is a nice place to gather all the feeds, but there is no way to share it on a specific Lemmy community, does it?
Ah I see. I don't think so, unfortunately. Something like that would definitely be useful, I guess as a browser extension? I wonder if something like that exists...
