I'm locking this because too many people are shouting at each other here because of moderation practices.
This is not a complaints forum. See pinned post.
Lemmy is the only federated service I actually enjoy using. Just missing being able to block an entire @something instead of having to block every single community of it
and no I do not want to "choose another host that does block it", it should be a user choice.
You mean an instance block? You can do that, but it's more of an instance "mute"
But I hear Piefed has real proper blocking of instances
How does that work? I just don't want to get the major nsfw and reddit reposting stuff in my feed
If you use an app it may or may not handle it properly or at all, but from the website you should be able to go-to feddit.nl/settings and the block tab and then you'll have the ability to block users, comms or whole instances from there
I say it's more of a mute because those users can still interact with your posts/comments (up/down vote, comment on) you just won't see it. It's been a highly discussed problem
Ohh like that, yeah I don't care as long as I don't see them really. Never use block features anyways, mute is enough for me. Thanks for the info!!
Hopefully theres more growth in the next days and weeks. I'm absolutely hooked to migrate from reddit to lemmy, it just feels a little lonely here for now. When the time comes, my reddit is gone..
This graph doesn't make sense to me. The drops on the two graphs shouldn't line up, right? Make me sus
That's when hexbear.net (part of the tankie triad) went offline because their domain expired and the domain admin was MIA. Unfortunately, they were able to reclaim it, so the graph should correct back when they start federating again
But they were still users who were active in that half-year, so even when they went offline it shouldn't have resulted in a dip
Happy to be here! I'm looking forward to my new home in Lemmy!
Welcome happy you're here! We've got memes on deck at [email protected] and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got [email protected] to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful [email protected] or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like [email protected] and [email protected]. [email protected] is also nice this time of year, but you'll have to post before you can leave.
We're not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies (Authoritarian "communists" who will overlook any wrong doings of China, Russia, NK because they think their governments are the "gold standard"), but here they're mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. You have a Reddit.org account so iirc you only need to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you'd rather just not deal with them. If you want to see what they get up to from a safe distance check [email protected]
Welcome to the fediverse, here is my anti-“tankie triad” copypasta spam.
How is an incessant pattern of instance harassment appropriate for [email protected]?
You would warn newcomers about the Tankie Triad too if you had repeatedly seen all the stories of "I tried Lemmy, but it just seemed like a bunch of tankies, turns out it was just because I was on .ml when I tried it again"
There's tons more that never came back and go on life thinking Lemmy is Voat 2.0. I know this because there's plenty of comments on Reddit whenever Lemmy comes up about "it's just Tankies over there"
Yes, how dare I try to protect Lemmy's rep, I don't want to see this place become Voat 2.0
Ah I get it now, you're most likely a .ml alt account, so goodbye!
Tankie definition: "authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.
I just hope this place doesn't become another reddit, it's already becoming one because of all you redditors moving here with your redditry.
That's pretty rude TBH, judging a user just because of what site they came from is not cool, judge them for their actions and words when they get here. Not their former site
That's a very reddit thing to say
No no no, you see I'm an exception because I'm one of the good ones.
/s
it's been one for at least a year. redditors are the fucking worst
I'm one of the new users. Hi. Reddit suspended my account after I posted my indie game. No reply to my appeals for 3+ months. Gonna give Lemmy a try now
You haven't posted anything about it here yet, share deets!
Welcome!
Cool the user count is going up, just hope it's not going to be all bots and trolls 😆
I'm not a troll 
I’m not a bot 😮
I just deleted my 12yo account over the censorship. Reddit has become a draconian shit hole and I no longer want to be a part of it. I'm happy to be here.
Same with me. Deleted my 13-year-old account and finally joined Lemmy yesterday. I actually found an app that looks a whole lot like Relay for Reddit back in the day. So now I'm totally comfortable here.
