I definitely feel it on Lemmy. I can walk away when I'm bored and rarely get trapped by my own custom mind control algorithm that Reddit had built for me.
Welcome new lemmings!
Here is my version of the "I switched to lemmy" post, it got quite some traction: https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/s/DHHl7jxcua
Yes, I referenced it in mine!
There has been traction in that subreddit? Like specifically about lemmy/alternatives? Interesting, and very well written post Blaze!
I came here from that post :) looking good!
Welcome!
It is recommended (but not required) to use a client that lets you block certain instances and communities. It allows for you to curate a more "sane" feed.
Also, we are frequently accused of being nice here on lemmy, so just to even things out a little: Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. Now, stick around and enjoy your stay, or I shall taunt you a second time.
PS: You should totally install Linux.
Hey! I'm using voyager as a client! Will there be a need of blocking instances however?
I already use Linux wherever I can (sadly not for my work laptop yet..)
I haven't felt the need to block any instance besides the NSFW ones on my main account so I can scroll in public without porn popping up, but then again I'm less thin-skinned than most
You can have a look at those two and make your own decision
Blocking instances is your choice really. I won't mention any, as I prefer people to decide for themselves, but it shouldn't take you long to notice some common denominators regarding posts and communities from certain instances.
Hey tradition is on your first day gotta send us nudes! Just kidding, tradition is gotta google what “tankie” means :p
Ahah I don't think anybody here wants to see my nudes, there's enough dick pics on the internet already.
But, I do know what tankie means ;)
Google? 😱
The Eglin Airforce bots and drones use that everyday in the nafo Reddit circle jerk.
Not much difference here except for too small and unimportant to have bots and authoritarian banning of non- approved opinions is fairly limited.
manufactured consent does its work already without need for more intervention.
Tradition is do whatever you want and ask questions 😄
Yes you’re right, great work you’re doing promoting Lemmy in the world, bravo!
Welcome ! Feel free if you have any questions!
Actually it's all pretty intuitive, I like the idea of national servers (joined the .nl one) but being able to see all the other servers too. I hope we can get more people to switch
Thanks for this post. I was always on reddit, but moved to Lemmy and trying to find my way around. This helps!
Feel free if you have any questions!
Thanks! will do! getting used to Lemmy and finding stuff what i like ;) I am registered to lemmy.world, but can i also find posts on the other instances? I also need to oganise my subscriptions and the look and feel if you know what i mean ;)
One thing I really like is that you can block whole instances. For example I don't care about anime so I blocked ani.social instead of having to block every comunity ralted to anime which will be hostet on ani.social anyway.
thanks for that! I didn't know that, very cool indeed!!!
Yes, you can definitely see posts and communities from other instances.
[email protected] is a good place to discover active communities
Thank you! this is (again) very helpful!
I found this post super useful! Thank you very much for sharing it!
Happy to help!
