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!
ETA Context: https://lemmy.world/post/24558150
Never commented on reddit. now I comment everywhere!
Same!
oooo me me, you’re speaking to me!
Welcome!
Here are a few pointers:
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!
Just joined, ready to shitpost 🫡
Try out [email protected] which I made.
Welcome!
Here are a few pointers to get you started
As as you mentioned shitposting, [email protected]
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.
The first post on this community to get 1k upvotes. 👍
Keep up the good work everyone.
🎉
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.
As soon as accounts are connected to other banned accounts, it’s the end of the line.
To be fair that’s a “Dog ate my homework” level excuse.
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.
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!
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.
Sounds about reddit.
Every trivial and throughless ban like that, creates another exile who becomes a regular on lemmy. This is a one-way street usually
Their loss, our gain.
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
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
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.
Welcome back!
Thank you!
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💀
Just got here from Reddit. Haven’t officially left it, but the concept of the fediverse intrigued me and wanted to check it out
Welcome! Any questions so far?
Thanks! What are the least political meme communities I can join? Politics has seeped into just about every subreddit and I need a break. I see in “all” here that there’s also a lot of politics around here in the meme instances
Welcome! I hope you have fun here!
For me I dropped Reddit fully when I realized it was going down more than lemmy.world ever did lol
Welcome!
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.
Lemmy.world sure seems full of the “Reddit Mod” types that killed reddit, but there are other options in the verse.
Agreed. I highly recommend choosing a different instance for your account.
The mods on [email protected] and other communities routinely ban posters that don’t violate the rules, just because they don’t like their political opinion.
See [email protected] for some discussion around mods‘ abuse of power.
I see your point, but it wasn’t really the reddit mods that killed reddit, it was the admins selling out to corporate greed
Admins are the main culprits, but mods removing posts organizing migration to Lemmy also have a share of responsibility in the situation.
By the time people were moving to Lemmy, the damage was already done. If anything, you’re arguing that the mods helped save reddit from a larger exodus by disrupting the migration? You seem confused.
Commenter above you said that typical “Reddit mods” killed Reddit.
You say it was the admins.
I’m saying that the mods could have helped save the “original Reddit spirit” by facilitating the transition to Lemmy, like [email protected] and [email protected] did.
Mods who removed posts suggesting to transitioning to Lemmy were accomplices, probably because they didn’t want to lose the power on their subs.
and [email protected] !
Yes sorry, don’t know why I forgot about you ha ha
I’m easily forgotten :D
Thanks man. I’ve always given you credit for that. Or at least I remember specifically mentioning you in a couple of comments when I was lambasting the majority of reddit mods and pointing to you as the shining example of someone who stuck to their guns and did what was necessary.
Tbh I didn’t realize until now that feddit.de originated from r/ich_iel mods, nor that aussie.zone originated from r/Melbourne mods. That might have something to do with you naming the instance after yourself 😅
But seriously, you’re a legend and you have done so much for Lemmy. I donate to you on liberapay but it’s far less than you deserve.
That might have something to do with you naming the instance after yourself 😅
The real reason was that early-on, I didn’t expect it to go very far and just used a subdomain on dbzer0.com which I’ve had for years. I now wish I had chosen a more catchy domain name, but alas :D
And thank you for your kind words (and donation)
Holy cow this is me!
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
Careful not to step in the Tankies on your way in.
