If anyone is looking for an unpopularopinion sub here, check out opinionhavers which I'm trying to get going.
There is also this one but mods took it offline for a while to protest something or other, so I figure it's good to have alternatives. The mod drama over there if you care.
Did something new happen on reddit?
THATS ME!!!!!
Newish to Lemmy, but left due to Reddit terrible mods.
How do you enjoy public modlogs? !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com if you want to see power tripping called out
It is the first time I see myself as a hiring manager. It's not that displeasing though.. Welcome everyone!
Holy cow this is me!
Welcome! Here are a few pointers to get you started
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
If anyone's wondering what you should do first, the first thing you should do is block hexbear, and the next thing you should do is join any instance other than lemmy.ml. lemmy.world is a good choice, but there's probably one you'll like better.
If you want to know the most trans-friendly instance, it's lemmy.blahaj.zone. There are people who will tell you it's Hexbear. Those people are liars.
There is also a 196 community here on world, and a third community on blahaj, because the original mods are a little cray cray.
Careful not to step in the Tankies on your way in.
Tankies almost made me quit day one until I learned what instances were and how to block them. With Hexbear and .ml gone from my feed, Lemmy is a lot more normal.
Or, you know, do step on them, but don't forget to wipe your boots afterwards.
No... They're into that shit.
I saw a mention of Lemmy on a random thread in r/politics so I'm tentatively having a poke about, since I've already tried to quit Reddit once (for Tumblr - it didn't stick). I remember forums pre centralised internet, is it something like that?
Think of it more like email addresses. Know how a Gmail account can send email to an iCloud account just fine, and both display the same content? Same basic concept. You can have [account]@domain1.com and [account]@domain2.com, and they’re entirely separate accounts. Even if they have the same username, they’re on different instances.
Federation refers to how the instances share data with each other. One of the largest things to look for is what instances your instance federates with, because that will determine what kinds of users you end up interacting with.
Ahh, okay, so if I wanted to go just looking at a specific subject it might be better to make a second account and join another instance, and keep up two accounts?
You don't need another account. Example to access a community on lemm.ee:
https://feddit.uk/c/casualconversation@lemm.ee
Which is the same content as https://lemm.ee/c/casualconversation
With an account at feddit.uk, it should be ok to navigated almost whatever community. The list of block instances is short and mostly block pedoporn.
Yes, you can consider it like a web forum but with the default sort set to "new post" not "new comment" as is done on Reddit. This tends to favour new content over longer discussion, although you'll get active threads like this quite often.
And thank you for choosing feddit.uk, I hope you enjoy your time with us and if you have any other questions then fire away.
Thank you!
Welcome! Great to see people choosing our instance :) Like Blaze said, feel free to ask any questions, it can be a bit overwheling at first!
Welcome! Yes, it is something like that.
You chose the UK as your instance, so the local communities could already interest you: https://feddit.uk/communities
On top of that, here is a selection of 20 non-political communities: https://feddit.uk/post/22376629
App can be found on https://www.lemmyapps.com/
Finally, there is also !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca
Feel free if you have any questions!
Ah, thank you! I downloaded an app first, since I primarily use my phone for everything and apps are just easier. I think the one I'm using is called Boost? It is less confusing than I was worried it might be :)
Boost is a good one, enjoy!
We've definitely seen an upswing in registrations this week, we usually have 1 a day and we are already on 8 today.
If you enjoy drama, this is the place to be.
The last few days were wild
Really drained the strategic popcorn reserve I tell you hwhat.
Id like to point out there are also some really good mobile apps for lemmy. I use sync for lemmy. Hopefully others will recommend there favorites. There are quite a few good ones!
Jerboa over here!
