I‘m glad to have you too, the Reddit behaviour was making me nauseous and I was worried I couldn‘t find a good community to replace it. Then I discovered this instance and explored Lemmy a bit further, made some more accounts elsewhere and jumped around and it’s NICE! So excited to be here.
If you find juggling multiple accounts to be a bit of a hassle, my recent chapter about subscriptions might be of interest. In short though: you can use one account to access all of Lemmy, but there's a few specific steps you need to follow to subscribe to other communities on external servers.
Thank you, that is indeed helpful, didn‘t know about the search either. Still all so hard to deal with cause as soon as I tried to upvote that post I had to login again and that is pretty much how I ended up with what is by now 5 accounts.
I'd known about the fediverse for a while but the final push I needed to move was the reddit API stuff. Now apparently something's happened to the old vessel as well, so I'm doubly glad to be here.
If I can ask, what exactly happened? Did reddit finally take it down or maybe infiltrate it with its own mods, as I've heard they might be doing?
To be fair, even if reddit does nothing to r/piracy, we're still better off moving ship. Our reddit community is already dangling on the edge with serious threat of being banned anyway.
It's worth building this community here just to mitigate the risk
