i left yesterday after 12 years. joined lemmy.

Welcome!

Here's your welcome-possum:

[-] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

I thought we do welcome beans?

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 years ago
[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 18 points 2 years ago

When you've settled in, consider joining a smaller instance! Just because it has "Lemmy" in the name doesn't mean it's official or good. We all federate together, so you can still join communities hosted on other instances.

[-] niketunic@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

thank you! still wrapping my head around the "instances" thing but i think i'm starting to get it

[-] shittydwarf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 years ago

Different geocities neighborhoods

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I’ve been here a while, and don’t have any desire to check out other instances. I just know that if Lemmy.world goes under, or its management starts fucking around, there are plenty of places I can go.

Leaving Reddit was not as simple.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 years ago

Welcome, glad you could make it! I hope you find this to be a cool place.

For best results, subscribe to communities you want to have a dedicated feed for, and block communities, instances and users that aren't worth your time, since there is the occasional jerk like you might find anywhere on the internet.

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

since there is the occasional jerk like you

Hey!

might find anywhere on the internet.

Oh.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago

I'm going to repeat what I've been saying a lot lately. The default is "active." If that gets boring (it probably will), switch to "hot," "new," and "top 6 hours" to get a more vibrant experience. The search engine is confusing at first, but is pretty good.

[-] thal3s@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

Welcome!

The web UI is accessible on any device and there are plenty of apps as well such as Sync and Voyager.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Jerboa has treated me well. I tried others but Jerboa is similar to Baconreader which is what I used in the olden times

[-] njordomir@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Fellow baconreader refugee here. I use Jeboa and Eternity alternatingly. They were both good and I was never able to choose. baconreader was a great tool for research into other peoples experiences, knowledge, and opinions. Also the memes etc. I'm glad threaded convos live on via Lemmy.

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 6 points 2 years ago

Welcome to the fight soldier.

ignore the piles of beans.

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Currently shitty egg memes I believe.

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 3 points 2 years ago

shitty

I'll check back in 3 days then

Excellent. Every long term power redditor exiting is a good blow to reddit. They're left with all the lurkers who just want to consume content so they'll have to rely more and more on ai slop until people realize it's all fake.

[-] Captainautism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

My account is 14 years old, and I’m almost to the my line where I’m going to torch it. The censorship is getting bad!

I do miss the Reddit from 10-14 years ago. So sad that it’s gone. It was truly amazing.

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

Well you're in a good spot. Lemmy is like reddit 14 years ago 😅

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

You kept your account for 14 years? I always deleted my accounts after some time. Longest one was for almost 3 years I think.

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

Mine is 16 yo by now I think. I don't delete it as it's historical enough not to get auto banned when doing agitation for lemmy over there.

[-] Captainautism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, but I’ve cleaned it out a few times over the years.

[-] tabularasa@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

I found all the automated tools don't work anymore. It took me 3 hours to manually delete all my content before I i deleted my account. Good luck.

[-] Captainautism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Oh damn, shreddit doesn’t work any longer?

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago

You can also keep your account to talk about Lemmy

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

That's the trick. Historical accounts are valuable to avoid automated bans when posting lemmy links.

[-] tabularasa@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

It did not when I tried it. Deleted like 10 things then stopped and never would work again.

[-] blazeknave@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago
