Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

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?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I still go to reddit for some of my interests that aren't here yet, but for news, I use Lemmy na.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ayun lang. Ayaw kong tignan yung mga subreddits for my interests na ala dito. Natatakot akong maging marupok at magbalik-loob kay Poong $₱€ơ eh. HAHAHA!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But i need my news about wrestliiiiing hahaha.

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).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lagi kong nakakalimutan na may Teddit nga pala, will try to use that nalang. Salamat sa reminder.

onga buti dumami na users kaya dami na rin posts+comments, sana dumami pa sa July 1

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Sana nga rin. At sana yung mga matitino ang dumagsa dito. Lol!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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?

Haha! Seriously hoping hindi pumunta dito ang feeling mod at yung mra na apparently conspiracy theorist din.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ay, teka, anuyan? Hahaha! Parang nakakatakot mag-usisa. Blissfully ignorant ako sa mga kaganapan dun sa kabila eh.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Don't worry about it nalang hahaha. Pero matagal na sila sa r/ph and sa opinion ko super problematic sila.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

si pobautista ba ituu? Hahaha

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you for the effort maglagay ng content dito para maengage ang members.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Oo nga eh. Wag na lang pansinin ang mga bugs and to an extent, di ko na rin talaga napapansin.

Something to think about: afaik this country only has one or two nursing homes, and they're not for everyone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yup. Buried underneath most of the "ReTiReMeNt PlAn nG mAgUlAnG" circle jerk is the sad reality that retirement homes are not a thing here, and that it costs upwards to 1 million annually per person (looking at RainTree at least).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I won't be surprised some of these are either of the YOLO mentality (like they want to do everything until 40), or planning to die young because they fear what's like to be past 60.

Generally most of them would rather live the rest of their lives as overseas emigres.

Patumal ng patumal yung rd natin :(

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Like I said awhile ago, the community was just an echo chamber. Para sa mga Pinoy, walang resemblance ang Reddit API changes and most of them galing rin sa Facebook na baguhan lang sa Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yep what the hive mind decide is what the hive mind will follow since nag vote ang hive ng back to normal

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

But I'm glad I found this fediverse. It is interesting concept we first-handed experience. The current Lemmy helped me minimize doomscrolling on the Internet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yep it has [prev] and [next] button, glad they're not exploiting us

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I used to visit old.reddit back in a day, only read 5-10 threads. With redesigned Reddit, it felt like I was on Facebook noong may account pa ako. I concur my algorithm back then was shit to the core. lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't mind. Better than dealing with self-haters and those avoiding reality.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Bahalasiladun. Haha

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Tbf, mahina talaga RDs natin pag weekend, kahit nung sarado pa kabila. So, not surprised at all na career low yesterday now that the bulk of our members made a beeline back in there earlier this week.

It'll be interesting how post-June 30 plays out, though. Will more people migrate here or come back? Maybe. I'm not so sure the Lemmy mobile apps provide a better experience than the native Reddit app for them to abandon ship.

Protip: for those who use Dark Reader add-on/extension change your contrast to 115 and brightness to 85.

Good morning PHLemmies! Have a great sunday ✨

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Good afternoon!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Ok this is just hilarious. It's funny how some subreddits are being clever with their protests. r/dndmemes is just straight up goblin rule 34 now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I recently played Hill Climb Racing 2 on my smartphone and these Coin Master and TongIts Go whatever extensively popped during gameplays, and I never turned on my Google's personalized ads settings. I can assume our geo-based Internet ads are filled with gambling-themed

It's been awhile since I fully disconnected to a VPN tunnel, and I thought chocolate ads from EU and mobile plan ads and skin care products from JP and SG were shit. May mas malala pa pala... haha.

Pista ng San Juan, more like Piste ng San Juan.

Ang anti-climactic nung nangyari kay Prigozhin/Wagner. Parang si Crabfeeder lang, haha.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Fuckin crabfeeder. Tagal ng hype pero walang ka kwenta kwenta nung nasa screen na.
