When you make your first comment on Lemmy

What I love the most about Lemmy is that you can see the downvotes as well!

Not all instances have downvotes, but most do
It's nice huh. And no karma stats personally. I love it.
I'm having my first disagreement with what looks like a possible CCP shill here. And their down votes are just not relevant, except to portray that we both disagree with each other. I really like it.
Only till the trolls arrive and have competitions to try to see how badly they can get downvoted without getting banned.

I’m here! I’m traffic! o7

Me too!
- Me too! And it's all shit posts :)

Would you like to know more?

And when you have commented more on Lemmy than all your years on redit to hope to boost the subs/comms you love. Yes i was a lurker

I guess there's more of a chance someone will actually read it when you post here. What's disturbing me is how many of the comments on Reddit were just bots or farmers? I bet... Many
- Oh yea I saw them in pretty much all of the replies. Many times they just copy pasted another comment. Sometimes was it pretty funny tho because it was so out of place haha

We are all fighters and we are struggling for better social networks for our children

And a fine part you are doing!

Yeah, that is me right now, lol

Me too!

desire to know more intensifies

New community hype

I have interacted with this post. Gays upon my booty.

I've gone from a lurker across all other social media to an active... Fedizen? Fedizen. And I'm loving it™

It feels great not to just belong to a single site but to a federation of many other sites you can almost seamlessly interact with.
Same! I'm posting and commenting more than ever. Gotta add content and spur the discussion!

  In Jerboa I could copy the original comment with all the formatting, had to quote each line individually though, even if I selected all it just quoted the first

today i abandon my life as a long time lurker!!

For real!

First comment baby! Feels good to be off that other toxic site.

Welcome! :3

This is my first post on shitjustworks. Damn this site and fediverse thing is confusing though.

A common way I've heard it explained is to think of it like email. Say someone creates a gmail account and their friend creates a hotmail account. The gmail user doesn't need to create a hotmail account to send them a message, they just log into their gmail account and send their message to friend@hotmail and the magic of email takes care of the rest.
The fediverse works similarly. You create an account on one "instance" and can interact with pretty much every other instance. There's some nuance to it since it's more complicated than email, but that's the gist of it.
- That's a good way of thinking about it.
- Do upvotes and downvotes federate similarly? If so, how does the protocol prevent vote rigging?

What movie was this from?

Starship troopers
- Would you like to know more?
- underrated flick with some biting social commentary.
- Thought so, but wasn't sure.

But I wanna luuuurrrrrrkkkkkk....

But fine :b

To the moon!

I'm doing my part! Ony own own instance! :)

A man of culture I see!

what I felt like as well lol

My second comment!

Had exactly this feeling about three hours ago.

I am a community!

This is how I have been feeling all morning lmao

I've made four so far! Creating them is easy; growing them is the hard part.

I gotta ask, after seeing your name a few times now. Is it literally just from the animal or is it an Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood reference? Or something else?
Love the simplicity in a lot of the usernames early on.
- It's Oryx, an old villain from the game Destiny. Give god, the Taken King. Cool dude. I also love seeing people around here, and especially the more simple names. Figured I'd snag a cool, short one from my favorite community in case Lemmy really takes off!

Doing my part!

"Participating guarantees citizenship!"

reporting in!

Good bye reddit, hello lemmy!

Hello all! Spent the last six years ghosting on Reddit, this is my first comment here :D

First (comment on lemmy)!

hell yeah!

Doing my part then I guess

Welcome to the family!

I think this is my third comment here. Still finding my way around. This is so different

Realized I can actually choose a username I really like versus the one I made for Reddit when I was on a lunch break.

i'm also a statistic

Thus begins the great reddit blackout of 2023

I’m torn between boycotting it and taking a peek at the dumpster fire 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hello!

🫡

I'm doing my part!

posting to get one on the books

here to do my part

Went from lurking to posting and commenting a bunch here. Love it!

This is my first comment.

Would you like to know more?

Just typing my first comment here, don't mind me

I have arrived from Reddit as well

My application was just approved! Hello everyone!

Hello!

This is my first comment on Lemmy, yay

Don't go back when they pretend to give in, they'll just find another way to fuck it up for $$ later!

Am I doing it right? I think I'm doing it right

Now we just have to make a post!
- Would you like to post more?

I'm helping!

I'm commenting to boost engagement!

Good gif but wow is that a disturbing URL

I'm doing my part!

Hello world!

👀👀👀👀👀

I did earlier.

Glad to be here!

Making my first comment here, at the start of the blackout. It's a sad time but hopefully something better can come out of it.

Ex lurker :) cheers lemmians!

Or lemmings!

That's a cute meme!

I'm just sad I can't tell people on reddit to come over here, even comments without direct links are being deleted by admins. I just mentioned that there is a star citizen community on lemmy in the subreddit and that comment got deleted without a trace.

You can make a picture and post it in a comment. Less convenient but works. Although I have a feeling that people who post about Lemmy too much may get shadowbanned.
@Deathsservant got a link for the SC community?
