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!
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.
!unpopularopinion@lemmy.world is open, people created threads yesterday, so not sure what you mean?
It was shut down for around a week to a week and a half, and now it's back. That's what I meant.
The point was: now that it's been shown that the mod is willing to take the sub offline in protest of various stuff, maybe it would be good to support an alternative as well so eggs can be in several baskets instead of just one.
LW reverting that policy is a sign the blackout was justified
Did something new happen on reddit?
Nothing new in particular. People are sick of power tripping mods. Also people that joined Reddit many years ago are sad to see it's turned into something else in many ways. I'm brand new here, I am over Reddit as I just got banned for "threatening violence". I appealed to no avail. I got angry regarding a post about an adult purposely running down a 12 year old. I expressed what I "would feel like doing" to that driver if he knocked one of my sons over on purpose. I didn't actually threaten a real person, it was based on a hypothetical scenario. But no apparently that's threatening violence. So yeah, I'm here.
THATS ME!!!!!
Enjoy, take a poke around, drop some comments.
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
Holy cow this is me!
Welcome! Here are a few pointers to get you started
It is the first time I see myself as a hiring manager. It's not that displeasing though.. Welcome everyone!
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?
A bit between a forum and reddit. You don't have to sneak away to subreddit, just comment wherever and whenever. There's usually some good interaction. Much smaller places than reddit and less monkeying with comments and votes and such.
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.
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.

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!
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!
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.
