Kick your feet up and drop a shitpost off at [email protected], meme in [email protected] or chill with the cats of [email protected]

Welcome aboard!

oooo me me, you’re speaking to me!
Welcome!
Here are a few pointers:
Just joined, ready to shitpost 🫡
Welcome!
Here are a few pointers to get you started
As as you mentioned shitposting, [email protected]
Try out [email protected] which I made.
Never commented on reddit. now I comment everywhere!
Same!
I came from the first reddit exodus and it’s been great over here. You’ll get used to it in no time, I promise.
So did I but be careful or you well also get swept up by the brainwashing here, buying a Pixel to run grapheneos, installing Linux on everything, buy privacy respecting email services, VPN and paranoid of everything. BTW I use NixOS and I am still mostly sane.
I just stick to [email protected] and [email protected]
Ah shit. I’m barely even sane and I haven’t even switched to Linux yet. I’m probs cooked.
Wait, there was more than one? What happened after the API debacle?
I assume they are taking about the reddit post attached. Not exactly an exodus like last time but I would imagine at least a few made it here after reading it.
I got sitewide banhammered from Reddit for my absent-minded use of the report button instead of using modmail
Even though I was polite in the message Reddit claimed it was mod harassment
It’s been over a week and they still haven’t responded to my appeal
It won’t let me submit another appeal because it says I’ve already submitted one
I’ve been on reddit for over 10 years, seems like an odd way to end it.
I’ll have to admit though, Lemmy is pretty sweet. I even got Sync back!
Every trivial and throughless ban like that, creates another exile who becomes a regular on lemmy. This is a one-way street usually
I got banned for speaking out about Israel’s crimes and saying Netenyahu and his cabinet need to be hanged for their crimes.
Since I am here, I will say that a trial is unnecessary.
I got banned for posting combat footage recorded by Al Aqsa brigades.
Yeah I left reddit when the API thing stopped me using sync. It was the final straw. Like you, I’d been involved for over ten years, but sometimes you gotta move on. I missed some subs, and Lemmy is definitely less active - but I waste less time here than I did on reddit and that’s a bonus.
The biggest thing I miss from Reddit is how up to date the news on the front page was. Having said that, they changed the algorithm and it’s been dogshit for years anyway. I dont miss Reddit at all, been here for over a year.
I’m really liking Lemmy so far, it definitely has the raw vibe of old reddit that I’ve missed for so long
Sounds about reddit.
Their loss, our gain.
Welcome aboard! I see you signed up to LW, here the worst of the “Tankie Triad” has been defederated from (hexbear and lemmygrad) though lemmy.ml is still fed’d so beware.
Is that seriously how you greet new people? Literally the first thing you are saying is about sowing division. “Watch out for the boggieman instance!” How about you just give it a rest.
Yea, I would do the same IRL to tell people visiting my city for the first time about the “bad parts of town” just the same
It’s disingenuous otherwise to hide such info
The first post on this community to get 1k upvotes. 👍
Keep up the good work everyone.
🎉
I still miss /r/asksciencefiction. I want to ask and answer questions about my favourite franchises, but the community on Lemmy is woefully dead.
Yea, for these scenarios I’d recommend posting in the more generalized versions like [email protected] and tag it with something like [Question] and then maybe cross-post it to the actual [email protected] to hopefully generate some traffic in the future
Lemmy is still a bit small to have a bunch of hyper-focused comms like Reddit, but maybe some day!
I got banned a couple years ago when I expressed my opinion regarding the living status of Trump et al (hint: it wasn’t positive).
Welcome to the Fediverse. No idea when the narwhal bacons around here, though.
Narwhals don’t bacon round these parts, but you better fucking believe our beans wear jeans all day long.
And get ready for the voids to consume you.
THATS ME!!!
Enjoy, take a poke around, drop some comments.
Your account age is 4 months tho?
That long already? Clearly still a lurker at heart
Some of us float between servers, depending on their state of federation and/or moderation.
To Newbies, I just want to say:
If you aren’t a Marxist-Leninist, you might wanna stay away from the big 3 Marxist-Leninist (aka: Tankie) instances [lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, lemmy.ml]
How could I forget my Tankie Triad warning LMAO
Agreed, also if you’re not a Neoliberal I would stay away from World (or if you’re Queer, a minority, or someone who isnt comfortable with seeing bigotry).
[email protected] for people interested (now I’m not sure that’s something we should show to new joiners ha ha)
Wanted to say this too. It’s Lemmy’s biggest problem and keeps putting me off. I don’t recommend Lemmy to people in person anymore because of them. I don’t know if I would be more disturbed if they’re mostly state actors astroturfing or just deeply unwell real people
Spooky
Just recommend the biggest instance that isn’t federated with them. Anyone got a list?
I do think it’s valuable to recommend the bigger instances. If they’re on a big instance, they don’t have to worry about federation at all at first. It takes no effort to slowly learn about federation, and later they have the option to move to a smaller instance.
This lemmy.zip person didn’t have a good onboarding experience. @[email protected] maybe?
That’s actually me. I simply didn’t want to carry over that username but I guess I should claim it too. Lol
Yeah, I originally joined Lemmy during the first Reddit exodus. Then, I squirreled and did not spend the necessary time to learn much about it. However, this go around I’m here and I’m serious about learning it and using Reddit much much less (in hopes to abandoning it eventually).
Some folks helped me to find apps. I’m using Avelon and I really like it. It makes figuring Lemmy out MUCH EASIER than simply bookmarking.
Sounds great, and good choice of instance.
Here is a list of communities to help you get started: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/35001146
I know right, ML Tankies are so much worse than fascist capitalist Nazi’s, they sure spoil everything amirite (watches a capitalist do a nazi salute at a presidential inauguration). Lets continue to ignore politics and see where this goes.
Finally took the plunge out of curiosity and a desire to dump reddit at some point.
Welcome here! Here are a few pointers to get you started
Holy cow this is me!
I’m out of the loop. What’s this “Reddit thread from earlier today”?
Also, yes, welcome to former Reddit users. I’m also a former Redditor, but I left during the API pricing fiasco.
A thread on r/technology about Decentralized Social Media actually got some good traction so a few of us logged back in to promote Lemmy a bit lol
This post is currently at the top of r/AskReddit, the following comment is currently at the top:
My honest opinion is I’d like to see the internet become decentralized again and less monetized.
This new hyper-monetized internet sucks so hard and places like X, YouTube, and Reddit are the issue.
Link - there’s already some suggestions of Lemmy, but it would be good to keep adding more!
Thanks for that. One of the comments at the top mentions the Web Revival. Great concept, of which we are playing our part. Might consider a community for that…
Do it!
Done it!! [email protected]
Just got a nearly 10 year old Reddit account permabanned because someone I share my computer with commented on a sub that banned me.
The admins didn’t even have a look at my first appeal, sending an automatic message instead and won’t have a look at any further appeal, so here I am.
Welcome, good choice with Jlailu, it’s a great instance! [email protected] for chill discussions
I mean I picked the one that was labeled as “french” out of simplicity ahah
This is the way.
People talk about decision paralysis when joining a Fediverse instance but I quickly spotted a UK one, signed up and never looked back.
As soon as accounts are connected to other banned accounts, it’s the end of the line.
Yeah that’s dumb, here we are being both banned for some dumb shit
It makes sense to detect ban evasion. You can always delete cookies and make a new account.
To be fair that’s a “Dog ate my homework” level excuse.
I left Reddit during APIGate and I tried lemme and it was full of racist nastiness so I closed my account and recently also left all meta apps and drasticallyreduced tiktok, and thought I might come check out how things are going and it’s nice and cozy here now, think I will stay. Been off of x for the better part of 3 years.
Oh damn, I too initially left reddit during the API BS, but I didn’t see any of that.
What instance was that? (Was it one of the Tankie Triad?(Hexbear, Lemmygrad or Lemmy.ml?))
I don’t remember, sadly. It was like a year and a half ago, and I opened the app and saw some had made a post on the home page that was just the N word over and over so I closed the website (I was on desktop) and figured I would let it mature for a bit.
Bro has a bone to pick💀
Welcome back!
Thank you!
