People who joined Lemmy in the last few days thanks to posts on /r/buyfromEU, how are you doing?
First of all,welcome to Lemmy!
Here are a few pointers to help you settle in
Feel free if you have any questions!
You're viewing a single thread.
A few unwritten rules I've found useful over the last couple of years since moving to Lemmy :)
- If you're missing a particular smaller or niche community - be the change and create it!
- If someone is challenging you in a thread in good faith, respond in the same way
- If they're just being a dick, don't waste any sort of mental energy on them - just block them, forget them and move on.
- If you're the one being a dick (and be honest, we all know when we are) walk away for a bit
- Don't be too proud to ask for guidance but do it in the right communities :) e.g. don;t ask for tech help in a community thats not about tech help.
- Be prepared to see a lot of Star Trek memes and Nicole spam.
- Bask in the warm glow of an open source, privacy respecting, non-corporately controlled environment.
You forgot the beans and five days no shit
You're right, I did. Dammit.

Ngl on reddit id feel the need to look through ppls post history, check their credibility, downvote/report everything I disagree with, it was a bad habit, somehow wasn't what got me banned (I did it for years), haven't felt the need to do that once here, not even close to that mindframe when seeing stuff here.
Reddits algorithim was favoring controversy hard, I swear it pushed stuff that would actively raise my blood pressure at me, then give me something id like for a second just to make me not close the app. I was getting all of my dopamine out of arguing, id just open that app mad ready to argue with my notifications.
A month into lemmy and I stopped expecting arguments in my notifications, I find opening this app to be a calming experience like Reddit was for me a decade ago.
