Hello World!

The last week or so we have seen quite a big 'boost' in the amount of new users signing up so we thought it would be a good time to highlight some things that are of interest to new users.

CODE OF CONDUCT

Lemmy World is not a free speech instance, there are a couple of ground rules that need to be followed. If you're new, I would advise you to read our Code of Conduct.

NEW USER QUESTIONS

If you are new to the fediverse as a whole, it might all be a bit overwhelming. What is Lemmy? What is federation? What even is an instance? For those questions I would suggest you have a look at the getting starting guide. It should cover most of your questions.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

You can head over to the [email protected] community. This community should be used for questions regarding Lemmy World and is not the support community for the Lemmy software this site uses.

Our Admin @quinten recently made a post covering the most recurring questions there too. Read about that here.

ALTERNATIVE USER INTERFACES

Lemmy World hosts a few custom User Interfaces which give you a completely different experience both on the desktop as on mobile.

THIRD PARTY APPS

There are a lot of Third Party apps available for Lemmy. From Paid to Open Source, you will find something that suits you easily.

For a complete list of apps have a look at https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/ (Thanks [email protected]).

EDIT: Updated the apps list. Also some more interesting links in @[email protected]'s post here: https://lemmy.world/comment/3962001

EDIT 2: Instead of https://photon.lemmy.world you can now just go to https://p.lemmy.world. You can thank @[email protected] laziness for that.

big "boost" in the amount of users? What kind of dumbass stunt did spez pull again this time?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

The reason why I'm here is I was permanently banned from reddit that's Possibly why alot of people decided to just hop onto lemmy and give it ago I noticed myself it's alot easier to get banned on reddit nowadays then a few months back before all this started

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The amount of posts on the front page of Reddit that were no longer available because user was banned or broke the rules or mods just didn't like the post, is just way too much. My friend would share reddit posts with me only for me to see that they weren't available anymore. It really gets in the way of the experience. Also I had so many posts removed without explanation, or in some cases, with the mods insulting me.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

I never had mods just out right insult me although after making a post on r/holup which got 700 upvotes before getting the post getting closed down by mods I did get an private message from a new user which was a bit iffy can't remember the exact message this was 8 or 9 months ago or smth like that I think I must've pissed off an mod on r/holup to a certain extent for them to look for any slip ups which there were plenty off

I> Remember to criticise ideas, and not people.

That’s a nice guideline. I kept trying to explain that to my recent ex… the vast difference between saying “this behavior is unproductive” vs. “you are unproductive”.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

I think for some people, there is zero difference between the two. These kind of people are "you are what you do" kind of people. Lazy people have lazy behavior, unproductive people have productive behavior, etc.

It could also be that they take "you are unproductive" to be a sort of shorthand for "Right now, you are being unproductive. How people perceive themselves and others in time can be strange. That can also cause problems with communication.

Anyway, have a great week!

As a reddit and lemmy enjoyer, I approve this message

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I got banned because i criticized your usage of Discord. No one should create an account on this instance.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That sounds kind of like "your opinion" of what you got banned for. I would imagine it was more about "how" you disagreed.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Rate it for me

Yeah, I doubt this is the whole story.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

It really is. I received this ban immediately after i commented this complaint. In the modlog it said that i gor banned because i was a "troll". There was no other comment or anything else this ban could have referred to.

An hour ago the mods even realized their mistake and unbanned me. But im staying here on blahaj.
