THERE ARE DOZENS OF US!!
But seriously this is good news and I'm glad to have you all here. Lemmy is in a pretty good position right now in terms of having a critical mass of users and decent traction within popular communities. At the very least it feels self-sustaining here.
Let's go!
Greetings everyone
You know it’s so simple to just click a different app and go back to infinite scrolling the way I’m used to.
I’m not a fussy user, I don’t get all up in arms over changes in functionality or whatever. It’s also nice not to see orange man on the internet whenever I scroll
The new front page of the internet is upon us
I’m here to help the place grow. Let’s do it!
Reddit, when the walls fell
Speaking of users, whatever happened to Flyingsquid?
Idk I was just thinking that last night, hasn't been active in like 2 weeks. I hope they're ok
Sync for Lemmy is a good app' if anyone is looking for RIF like experience. Sync
As much as I love Sync, it has been almost a year since the last update.
I created an account a while back now, but it’s been mostly inactive since then. I’m liking it a lot more here!
Yeah, what the other guy said. lemmy.ml is run by tankies. best to move
i moved from .ml about a year ago because of their moderation... "policies"
Oh shit, I had no idea! Any ideas where I should move to? What kind of policies??

As a recommendation, https://lemm.ee/ is good.
basically you get banned for arguing against tankies.
as for which instance; where you from? what you into?
Welcome back! Just...be careful about what you say on the instance you're on LMAO
Never heard anything about this, are you able to elaborate or provide any links?
The admins and mods of .ml are huge Tankies and censor all content critical of China/Russia/NK and will deny they're even dictatorships let alone that they enforce censorship or any other violation of basic human rights
[email protected] has a bunch of content documenting what they get up to that you might miss if you're not in the modlog, but ironically for a group that complains about censorship they block that comm from all .ml users at the instance level so you'll have to look at it in a roundabout way.
lemmy.world/c/[email protected] should work
The admins have a long history of banning people across the entire instance who are critical of China, North Korea, Cuba etc. That said, you should be fine and if you're happy with the instance then there's no reason to move. Some users like to make a bigger deal out if it than it really is.
The "ml" in the domain is supposed to represent "Marxist Lennist" which the ideology the instance is aimed at.
Reddit is being crazy and censoring/banning people.
I’ve enjoyed it. Doubt I’m using it to its fullest ability. Only on two instances.
You only need the one account, you don't need to sign into other instances.
There can be some weirdness on the web version where if someone uses the wrong type of link then you maybe redirected away and can't interact as you're not logged in.
For example:
You don't need multiple accounts, communities are subscribable from remote instances.
I’ve had enough of reddit
Welcome! 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 .ee account so 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. If you want to see what they get up to from a safe distance check [email protected]
