Fediverse memes

Hell yeah

Ok I can support the first 2

But "/s" is absolutely necessary and has predated Reddit by a LONG time. It should be mandatory actually because sarcasm is notoriously hard in text

Hahah. Yeah same. Obviously the fediverse needs to be more user friendly to gain traction, but I’m having a lot of fun with the more… technical(?)… knowledge required to wrap your head around it.

The Fediverse feels much more like the old internet.

Is that lemme.ee speak, or is my confusion just because I'm old and tech-stupid?

It would be so amazing if we could get Lemmy running on something like [email protected] it really would be just like the ol dialup days

It'd be slow, but I'd still use Lemmy over it all the time even though I have a fancy pants 2.5 Gig fiber link lmaooo

This isn't a full migration sadly, at least I don't think so. It's a welcome trickle of new users, but Reddit will need to do much worse to force a full on exodus. Though I have no doubt they will eventually. But I don't think we're getting another mass Rexit event until they turn off old.reddit.

Reddit has magnitudes more inertia, unfortunately. And a predominant sentiment seems to be “we should stay on Reddit to counterbalance the bad parts."

Or even worse, move to Discord :/

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.

"Bookmark" is not a term I'm familiar with. I think it might be an app feature.

I don't know about the apps because I normally use Lemmy on the web. There might be an option in your app to just see posts from your subscribed communities though.

On the Lemmy.world website you can see posts from your subscribed communities by clicking the "subscribed" tab near the top of the page (the other tabs are "local" which shows you just posts from your instance - Lemmy.world in your case - and "all" which shows you the top posts from all Lemmy servers).

Also on the Lemmy.world website, if you scroll down on the main page, you can see your subscribed communities in a list on the right-hand side of the page. I sometimes use that list when I want to look at a particular community.

You can also use online tools to overwrite your post history so that Reddit don't have all the content you provided anymore, even if thats just comments
