There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!

Hi! Can you not downvote comments across all of lemmy or is it a per-instance thing?

I mostly used reddit for soccer (COYS!), gaming, and movies/shows. Probably will be the same here.

downvotes are federated across instances. some instances can choose to not allow downvotes, so i think it shows up differently for those instances than for others that do allow downvotes?
