It's much better here! It’s nice and cozy, kinda like Reddit circa 15 years ago.

For your memes we have [email protected] and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got [email protected] to scratch that itch, if you like sciency posts mander.xyz has some excellent communities (communities=subreddits) like [email protected][email protected]and [email protected] and for a meme science combo there's always the fantastic [email protected]

You can also drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or hang out at [email protected] (though you do have to post before you leave that one!)

If you want to explore the world of PC Gaming on Linux check [email protected] or for more general Linux [email protected] and we even have a Linux meme comm at [email protected] (we like Linux around here lmao)

For news [email protected] is excellent and for US focused news [email protected] and [email protected]

Want to ensure your privacy in this crazy world? Checkout [email protected]

And of course, the best for last, the best comm on the Lemmy-verse, [email protected] !!! Just make sure to buy a krabby patty!

We’re not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies, but here they’re mostly on what's known as the Tankie Triad: lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. For the most part, grad and hex are widely defederated from (Users and content of those instances won't be "synced" and you won't see them) and you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you’d rather just not deal with them. .ml tends to be more subtle opting for censorship of dissent before things get crazy on their threads and allowing certain propaganda to flourish (If you wish to see documentation of it, checkout [email protected] ) Here on Lemmy all moderator actions are public and available for viewing on what's known as the "modlog"

Obligatory, fuck Spez

There are no good monster fucker communities like there are on reddit and I don't think lemmynsfw would host them anyway.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

Why not make one?

So they're finally admitting to being a propaganda machine for the us government.

Reddit is basically a ship with a captain and crew that hates all of the passengers and vice versa.

We just have to look nice for the ones who swim over to our ship.

Fresh from reddit here. What is the difference in subscribing and bookmarking a community and how do I find them after I subscribe/bookmark?

I'm using the Summit app if that makes a difference.

Subscribing is like Reddit, where your default frontpage view is only your subscribed communities. These communities could be from your server or a federated server, it just depends on what you subscribe to. You don't really need to think about how federation works, it'll just show up for you if you subscribe.

If you pick "Local" you'll see a feed of the the popular posts from all communities hosted on your own server only. Some of your subscribed comms might be in there if they're a local server comm. But it's just a general feed from your server alone.

If you go to "All" then you get a feed from all federated communities, so you could be seeing posts from /c/linux from lemmy.ml as well /c/linux from another server (though it's not likely to see posts from small communities unless you're an incorrigible doomscroller). Generally you'll run out of content on your subscribed only feed fairly quick due to the activity being relatively lower than Reddit, so browsing All gets you more content, but you'll run into a lot of irrelevant shit in the process. But it can be a good way to find more things to subscribe to, as well.

In any case, welcome. I fled reddit after 15 years of contributing by posting and modding when they burned the app community and shit on the people that made Reddit what it was. At least here I don't feel like my efforts to provide content and moderate is for someone else's benefit, least of all a greedy little pigboy like spez.

Be the change you want to see.

Thanks for the welcome wagon. This was the first post I clicked on. I feel like a boomer (I am not one) trying to understand the Fediverse even though I can understand how email works, somehow I can't apply that to how it works here. Like am I supposed to be able to see Mastadon or Pixelfed content on here? What would that look like? Ok also had some weed tincture so that probably has something to do with my confusion. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

Welcome!

Yea, you'll see mastodon stuff from time to time, there's nothing really that tells you it's a mastodon post, they just look kinda different. For a mastodon post usually the giveaway is hashtags in the post like #hashtag except they'll be links.

Pixelfed is supposed to show up too, but federation with Lemmy has yet to "kick in" (at least as far as I've noticed)

Also on Lemmy you can do ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ without any extra "" actually, here putting the extra 2 backslashes makes you lose your arm

It's actually really nice, now I can ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ right from my phone keyboard lmfao ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Was this before or after I got banned sight wide in December for posting diy Luigi Mangione prayer candles on witches vs patriarchy?

.ml users is somewhat problematic, they behave like the shills on reddit, the right wingers, often using the same talking points and buzzwords. ml is probably mostly populated the rejects/bans from reddit for the right reasons(posting disengious and offensive posts, misinformation.

Been here for a few weeks now and have not looked at Reddit since. Time to cut ties and delete my account there I think.

Oh yeah, c'mon, give me some populated niche subs!

We'll get there... eventually.

As a redfugee myself, welcome to all! Just please try to avoid making lemmy more like reddit. If you miss reddit please just go back, it's still there.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Fuck that, I welcome most Redditors.

Lemmy cannot be made into Reddit, it's simply not possible because the biggest problems of Reddit was because of Reddit the corporation

Everything else was just born naturally of what happens when millions of humans interact with each other
