I wont survive without reddit… I am so dead…
I’ve been here since the API exodus. I still go on reddit sometimes but found myself frequenting Lemmy a lot more. It’s just better and the slow growing is quite noticeable. Gone were the days where you were always checking for new posts.
Showed as white on white on my UI, so here’s the picture below.
A few pointers for new joiners:
Yeah, shows my image editing fu. Thanks for pointers! I did do a search but turned out my fu is not particularly strong there either…
No worries, thank you for this post, it’s nice to welcome people from Reddit!
This is perfect tho, it outs light mode creatures as the monsters they are. /j
White theme? Oh god, how do you not… you know…
Is there a reason why you’re promoting !ask@lemm.ee now? Ask Lemmy communities already exist on both .world and .ml, creating another community seems kinda counterproductive to me.
Feel free to have a look at !fedigrow@lemm.ee
Can some people who are willing to post something other than American politics and Reddit bashing posts join lemmy soon, I’m sick of my entire feed being nothing but all these negative topics
Big things are happening in the world right now. I know that it sucks.
Blocking all of the political and news communities can help
!communitypromo@lemmy.ca has a pinned post without active non political communities
Right there with you, it’s going to be a long four years…
Just block the subs. Or subscribe to communities that interest you and stick to your subscribed feed.
I think Lemmy is a bit too complicated to attract the kind of light-hearted users that made Reddit shine. It’s daunting unless you have nowhere else to go.
I had a discussion the other day, where people were not happy with lemmy instances not handing data over to google. They argument was that we should do everything so lemmy can be found more easily, as the only goal is to “win” against reddit.
Unfortunately in that discussion people were not interested in using Lemmy and the Fediverse at large to create a positive vision of the internet. They just wanted to stick it to one corporation they don’t like. I don’t like reddit either, but i think we should thrive for a Fediverse that upholds decentralization, open source and non commercialization of social interactions. All the large Internet corporations want to create the opposite and have been quite successful so far.
Dozens+1 ! :)
It took every person on this platform to get us to 600. Bots I’m calling on your power.
Welcome friend! I’ve been keeping your seat warm * mini-fart *
Reporting for duty.
Welcome to Lemmy. Here’s your Molotov, the guillotine is just down the hall. First left.
Let’s be real, we ain’t touching grass, let alone take action.
Speak for yourself, friend!
Actually I volunteer in a community centre
Honestly I’d expect more action for Lemmy than left leaning Reddit accounts just cause people here have taken steps to make a difference
We never said they’re real.
Yes, of course, strictly in Minecraft.

Happy to be here! I love finding alternative platforms to the big ones, I’m a forum nerd and soon I’m thinking about moving one from phpBB 3 to either Discourse or Node.bb and having it join ActivityPub. I hope more people will join lemmy soon!
That would be cool!
Hi diddly ho neighborino
Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
DOZENNNNNSSSSSS
steve holt!!
Just be warned, those dozens are all actually one person.
It’s me. I just enjoy talking to myself so much I made lemmy
Are you Drone Rights?
And blaze, and db0, and descalines, and ada and pugjesus, I’m everyone. I’m even you
Dessalines is a Drone Rights alt? Makes sense.
He is I and I am him
Slim with the tilted brim, what’s my motherfuckin’ name?what’s my motherfuckin’ name
Excuse us?? It’s OUR motherfuckin’ name too!
za-ba-do-hiiiiii-hi-hi
Well, I didn’t expect us to have an existential crisis today, but here we are.
That’s okay, we’ll get past it again
Hey fellow redfugees!
Welcome! It’s nice and comfy here, if a little less of an infinite content-hose compared to Reddit. You might need to do a little more heavy lifting yourself in terms of posting and commenting, but on the plus side - people actually read what you post, instead of being drowned by a deluge of spam and bots! And discussions are mostly friendly and civil!
Yes that’s what I’ve found! There’s less of it but the quality is far better, the atmosphere is far better and it’s like reddit used to be years ago. I’ve missed all that and I’m so glad I found lemmy. ☺️
