It's much better here! It’s nice and cozy, kinda like Reddit circa 15 years ago.

For your memes we have [email protected] and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got [email protected] to scratch that itch, if you like sciency posts mander.xyz has some excellent communities (communities=subreddits) like [email protected][email protected]and [email protected] and for a meme science combo there's always the fantastic [email protected]

You can also drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or hang out at [email protected] (though you do have to post before you leave that one!)

If you want to explore the world of PC Gaming on Linux check [email protected] or for more general Linux [email protected] and we even have a Linux meme comm at [email protected] (we like Linux around here lmao)

For news [email protected] is excellent and for US focused news [email protected] and [email protected]

Want to ensure your privacy in this crazy world? Checkout [email protected]

And of course, the best for last, the best comm on the Lemmy-verse, [email protected] !!! Just make sure to buy a krabby patty!

We’re not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies, but here they’re mostly on what's known as the Tankie Triad: lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. For the most part, grad and hex are widely defederated from (Users and content of those instances won't be "synced" and you won't see them) and 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. .ml tends to be more subtle opting for censorship of dissent before things get crazy on their threads and allowing certain propaganda to flourish (If you wish to see documentation of it, checkout [email protected] ) Here on Lemmy all moderator actions are public and available for viewing on what's known as the "modlog"

Obligatory, fuck Spez

Was this before or after I got banned sight wide in December for posting diy Luigi Mangione prayer candles on witches vs patriarchy?

Reddit has turned into a real fuck of a fuck over the last few weeks. It was a bad omen when they started charging for API access, but that was just a preview. They're in full-on enshittification mode now.

You get shadowbanned for unspecified reasons, without apparently breaking any rules. They do cute shit with vague error messages rather than tell you what's up. Zero actual communication.

They're also busting people for upvoting super mario kart jpegs for some reason, but when they do that they actually tell you.

I never noticed before nowjch Ned Stark looks like he's holding a karaoke microphone in this image.

I came here a while back from reddit and it rocks. Thanks for having us.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

As a redfugee myself, welcome to all! Just please try to avoid making lemmy more like reddit. If you miss reddit please just go back, it's still there.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Fuck that, I welcome most Redditors.

Lemmy cannot be made into Reddit, it's simply not possible because the biggest problems of Reddit was because of Reddit the corporation

Everything else was just born naturally of what happens when millions of humans interact with each other

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For you the biggest annoyance of reddit was apparently the actions of reddit executives. For me it was the overabundance of meme-addled high school sophomore personalities. In that way lemmy is already enough like reddit for my taste.

Thanks for making us from Reddit feel welcome I can se i am going to like it here

I got banned from Reddit because I made a suggestion on what should happen to a violent dog that attacked a family member

No free speech on Reddit

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You'll probably like it because we are all from reddit, at varying times in the past.

It's really like OG reddit. Like the good ol' days.

Well maybe not cause of the whole jailbait thing

And the racism

Yeah, it's a bit more cleaned up

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

The jailbait and racism still exist, but any instance that doesn't want to be defederated by the big ones defederates from it immediately.

[–] [email protected] 87 points 1 week ago (15 children)

It's funny because I bet a lot of us that came on the API wave had/have 15+ year old accounts.

Mines 18.

I had a post from /r/teenagers show up on my homepage and I realized that my account is older than most people there say they are.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (6 children)

18, 17, and 10 year old main accounts.haven’t been there since the API fiasco, but I kinda hated it for a few years before that.

I was the primary character in a pretty huge event (fiasco) in Reddit history 16-18 years ago, that I wish I could talk more about without doxxing myself.

Basically when TIFU and AITA got popular, the site kinda went to shit. Welllll, when smart phones got popular and people started to refer to Reddit as an “app”, it went to shit, Eternal September-style.

Mine is certainly near 15 years old, but for the life of me I can't remember exactly when I made an account, nor how many fake internet points I'd rattled up - it just seems so insignificant now.

The best part of Lemmy is that if any instance starts becoming like Reddit is now, I can block it individually, or we can collectively decide to shun them! It's not fool proof, but it's a pretty large leap in the right direction.

I dare say I miss the niche communities, but frankly, the main niche that I filled was on the pony side of things, and that's pretty dead now. RIP smol horses, you all get to live your best lives now as glue 🫡

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

how is lemmy diffrent then reddit other then mutliple servers and stuff like that? both is kinda the same reason you use it for and thats why they exist?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There is no central control, which means there's no CEO to influence into doing ghastly shit to the users. It's basically one step up from the non-federated Internet forums of old.

12 years, and almost a million karma, and I was permabanned soon after the election for repeating an anti-HitlerPig post that I had repeated many times BEFORE the electuon.

I was bummed at the smaller crowds on Lemmy at first, then I realized I didn't have to scroll through dozens of puns, bots, trolls, idiots, etc. on EVERY post.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The lack of the niche communities is the main difference for me, mostly. But that takes time. Otherwise I mostly like it here :D

10y and 400k combined karma (mostly comment)

And I actually managed cold turkey, partially helped by my creating an entire instance which kind of made Lemmy a hobby I was invested in both time and money wise.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 week ago (3 children)

🙋10 year account for me, thousands of comments. 166k comment karma. It was a wild ride, but when they took Boost it was over for me. Fuck em.

Consequently, now that I'm here I post WAY more, I don't even think my post count cracked a hundred and here it's...4...thousand........fuck, I'm here too much 😅

Reddit is now uninstalled on all of my devices

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

I was reminded of this place because of a comment chain about what the next reddit was.
