Welcome!
Here are a few pointers to get you started
As as you mentioned shitposting, [email protected]
Never commented on reddit. now I comment everywhere!
Same!
I came from the first reddit exodus and it's been great over here. You'll get used to it in no time, I promise.
So did I but be careful or you well also get swept up by the brainwashing here, buying a Pixel to run grapheneos, installing Linux on everything, buy privacy respecting email services, VPN and paranoid of everything. BTW I use NixOS and I am still mostly sane.
Ah shit. I'm barely even sane and I haven't even switched to Linux yet. I'm probs cooked.

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!
Every trivial and throughless ban like that, creates another exile who becomes a regular on lemmy. This is a one-way street usually
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.
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
Sounds about reddit.
Their loss, our gain.
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.
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!
To Newbies, I just want to say:
If you aren't a Marxist-Leninist, you might wanna stay away from the big 3 Marxist-Leninist (aka: Tankie) instances [lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, lemmy.ml]
How could I forget my Tankie Triad warning LMAO
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.
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
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.
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?))
Just got here from Reddit. Haven't officially left it, but the concept of the fediverse intrigued me and wanted to check it out
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.
Welcome, good choice with Jlailu, it's a great instance! [email protected] for chill discussions
I'm out of the loop. What's this "Reddit thread from earlier today"?
Also, yes, welcome to former Reddit users. I'm also a former Redditor, but I left during the API pricing fiasco.
A thread on r/technology about Decentralized Social Media actually got some good traction so a few of us logged back in to promote Lemmy a bit lol
This post is currently at the top of r/AskReddit, the following comment is currently at the top:
My honest opinion is I’d like to see the internet become decentralized again and less monetized.
This new hyper-monetized internet sucks so hard and places like X, YouTube, and Reddit are the issue.
Link - there's already some suggestions of Lemmy, but it would be good to keep adding more!
