digg déjà vu

Liking it so far!! Especially the spirit, kinda throws back to the mid 2000s

Hi, just joined but have been lurking for a day or two.

Just trying to find my bearings at the moment. I haven't joined any communities yet but will look at doing that later today.

I'm hoping that Lemmy is a less toxic space than Reddit became, and that an influx of us refugees doesn't ruin things for people who have been here longer. My hope is that those of us who migrate here learn to fit in with the ethos and rules of Lemmy, rather than trying to change things (or worse, expecting them to change to fit what we're used to "over there").

I'm looking forward to getting stuck in!

How do instances decide to defederate other instances popping up in the future? E.g. an NSFW instance is created but I don't want to see any of it when I browse "All".

Hi everyone! I'm /u/thatlightiningjack from reddit! (also obligatory fuck spez)

I'm loving it so far. However, Jerboa could use some work. The font size settings are wacky.

so this is where we flee pala, hi!

First comment! Finally.

I’m liking it a lot, so far!

It's frankly really nice. The conversations here are more civil in what I have seen so far, and feel organic. I really love the "vibes" of this space and the fact that it is so much better than doomscrolling on Reddit. I have seen some very nice comments here, and have spent the last few days trying my best to understand what "federation" is. It is a bit daunting for a not-so-tech-savy person like me, but hey, it's great. I really hope it grows nicely and becomes a good alternative.

Thank you for getting this up and running, and to anyone reading, may you have a wonderful day :)

First post, liking what I'm seeing so far! Appreciate that signup here was quick/easy, had some issues on other instances.

Glad to be here. So far, so good. I like what I am seeing, even if I feel somewhat lost after about a decade on Reddit.

On Reddit you have your home page or start page that shows combined content from all of your subscribed subreddits and nothing else... how do I get to something like that here, or isn't there anything like that here?

so. um. my question is, in mastadon even though you have an account with one instance you can still see/follow/whatever people from different ones (unless the admins made it private) is this the case with lemmy or am i stuck here and would need to go make some other places? thanks
edit: NOW i see the tab switching from 'local' to 'all'. Derp

I haven't used Lemmy much yet, but I'm honestly impressed by how well it seems to work so far.

Thanks for having me, lemmy.world!

These instances feel quite cosy. Homely, even. I think they're called instances? I don't know. Anyway, I'm here.

If anyone has any super-noob friendly tips for being a good Lemmy citizen then I'm all ears - I'm an iPhone user so any app recommendations would be greatly appreciated too!

So far I'm really enjoying Lemmy, both the website and Jerboa! But I'm still getting used to the whole federation thing. It's really weird to get used too. Also there seems to be fewer communities/subreddits. I'm missing specific interests...

But the concept is great! I'm excited to be on a open source social network. The mainstream ones are so unethical.

Interesting. I can see promise. I think this will be my stop if they kill relay for reddit.

Thanks to all who are working to make this site work

Is there an app for Lemmy?
