Good luck admins! And if you're fresh from Reddit, welcome!
Good luck admins! And if you're fresh from Reddit, welcome!
It's much better here! It’s nice and cozy, kinda like Reddit circa 15 years ago.
For your memes we have !memes@lemmy.world and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got !programmer_humor@programming.dev to scratch that itch, if you like sciency posts mander.xyz has some excellent communities (communities=subreddits) like !science@mander.xyz, !biology@mander.xyzand !astronomy@mander.xyz and for a meme science combo there's always the fantastic !science_memes@mander.xyz
You can also drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or hang out at !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone (though you do have to post before you leave that one!)
If you want to explore the world of PC Gaming on Linux check !linux_gaming@lemmy.world or for more general Linux !linux@programming.dev and we even have a Linux meme comm at !linuxmemes@lemmy.world (we like Linux around here lmao)
For news !world@lemmy.world is excellent and for US focused news !news@lemmy.world and !usa@midwest.social
Want to ensure your privacy in this crazy world? Checkout !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
And of course, the best for last, the best comm on the Lemmy-verse, !bikinibottomtwitter@lemmy.world !!! 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 !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works ) Here on Lemmy all moderator actions are public and available for viewing on what's known as the "modlog"
Obligatory, fuck Spez

Saying it again to everyone in the back. The modlog is a great feature. Instance Mods and admins can't just disappear people and communities without a trace, and trolls can't make up stories of unfair moderation without bringing receipts and their old account name.
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 remember Reddit after I started using it, around the time of the Digg exodus. It was a fun community of nerdy people. Just doing some things because it was cool.
A few years later, I had the weirdest feeling that that vibe was gone. That both behind the scenes, and more overtly, they had to be prepping for accommodation of corporate interests. A little bit of officially sanctioned promotion here, a dash of ignoring guerrilla marketing there.
And for several years now, it's not even subtle anymore. Reddit does what some dude with money bags says must be done, users be damned.

I would love it if reddit clamped down on free speech. Please reddit, just lay it out on what else you want to limit. Let the people know what else they can't say. Or even better- force people on reddit to make mandatory posts praising billionaires. It would make my day. Please reddit, put more gas on your dumpster fire
By total accident I found out that Digg is resurrecting, backed by Alexis Ohanian, a founder of Reddit (and husband of Serena Williams), and Kevin Rose, who originally founded Digg.
Maybe all the former Digg refugees that fled to Reddit will go right back to Digg.. Continue the cycle.I'm glad I left Reddit good riddance. Much better here tbh.
Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
I got a temp ban for calling Usha Vance a class traitor. I said that when fascism progressed far enough she would likely not be safe from the overt racism and patriotism because she's brown. 3 day temp ban. Reddit is shilling for the fascist and corporate overlords. That along with warnings just for upvoting posts. Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
Reddit is now uninstalled on all of my devices
I was reminded of this place because of a comment chain about what the next reddit was.
Deleted my Reddit account when I could no longer use Apollo, but still kept up with a few subs for certain info. Finally discovered Lemmy and after being here for a short while I’ve nearly stopped visiting. This news has given me the push to be done 100%.
Lemmy.ml living rent free in this person mind lmao. If you spent half the time you spam post crying about them developing a fork of Lemmy you would have actually be free from them now. At this point I'm starting to think you're actually getting paid for spewing brain rot
Oh yeah, c'mon, give me some populated niche subs!
We'll get there... eventually.
8 year account. Started closing it down when the Luigi ban took effect but finally wipe it completely when this got announced.
Only really miss one group from there that isn’t here yet, which I suppose I should start but haven’t yet been inclined to do.
Thanks for the welcome wagon. This was the first post I clicked on. I feel like a boomer (I am not one) trying to understand the Fediverse even though I can understand how email works, somehow I can't apply that to how it works here. Like am I supposed to be able to see Mastadon or Pixelfed content on here? What would that look like? Ok also had some weed tincture so that probably has something to do with my confusion. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Was this before or after I got banned sight wide in December for posting diy Luigi Mangione prayer candles on witches vs patriarchy?
I’m a reddit refugee! It’s better here anyway.
I came here a while back from reddit and it rocks. Thanks for having us.
Typo in your !biology@mander.xyz ref. Takes me to manner.xyz which redirects to GoDaddy...
Remember the block function!
Yup, looks like @shadow@lemmy.ca is going to be busy again ❤️
Stop using reddit as much when the API ban happens (still used modded sync)
Completely quit reddit when Spez came out that he idolized Musk and wanted to turn reddit into X
That was a year and 8 months ago
To find communities that you might not know exist, it's great to check out !communitypromo@lemmy.ca , !communities@ponder.cat or !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl .
You can also visit the external website Lemmyverse.net for community discovery/search. Or sub.rehab for finding equivalent communities of subreddits.
For news I like !world@quokk.au
.world is a bit too reddit-like
I never noticed before nowjch Ned Stark looks like he's holding a karaoke microphone in this image.
"Why they hate me, are they sick in the brain?" sad emoji Anyway, yeah I'm here already dipping my toesies and getting confy since my first reddit "scare" anyway so- just waiting the the time I really have to delete that bookmark like I've done with other virtual social gatherings before when I don't identify with the values of place anymore. By the looks of it it's bound to happen to everything big out there away from the fediverse, either by greed, simping for power, or caving to coercion/ oppression/ roman saluters (and I don't mean the food in case there is a dish with that name)
Yee let's go
