Why is beehaw going it's own way? I mean I kinda understand that lemmygrad might have a different world view, but why the rest?

The trash will still escape Reddit. As evidenced by my being here :)

Does tiktok show you better videos when you threaten to leave with the back button? (lemmy.ml)
 

I've never really used tiktok, but with Reddit shitting the bed it's time to expand my horizons and create a social media "mix"

So yesterday I'm watching tiktok for pretty much the first time having a real go at it, and I noticed when I'm scrolling the videos are all kinda meh, then I click back (to exit on android) and I get a "decent" one, so I hang around and watch it, then scrolling more meh, back, decent video. Is this a thing? I ended up just clicking back to game the system, if I really liked the video I would reward tiktok with a scroll, if it gives me a shit video, back again.

Am I nuts?

reddit be like that in c/[email protected]

This is the issue.

We’ve known for over a decade that people come to Reddit to talk about the products they love – take r/BuyItForLife for example, a community of over 1.5 million redditors who have been sharing recommendations and advice about their lifelong, must-have purchases since 2011. These updates will uplevel the search-and-discover experience for both brands and our users by tapping into our differentiated value as a hub for actionable conversation

So they are now going to make it so corporate shills can dilute the quality of their content with a whole lotta shit

I'm getting the following error reading this post: "item at index 2 does not exist"

Should I post this on stack overflow or some other Lemmy help community?

What's a good video host for Lemmy? (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm making a community with a bunch of archived photos and videos I have of cats getting pulled along in shoeboxes in a train like formation - I'm calling it CatTrain.

Anyway typically I would host it on Reddit any they would come from v.reddit (after Imgur got all pissy) but I want to avoid using Reddits backend after they also decided to change direction.

What does everyone recommend?
