Futurama

First time posting after 9 solid years on Reddit. Thanks for the welcome

I am here now. Just signed up. Mod of /r/bicycling, /r/sanfrancisco, and a few other smaller subs. The whole thing is a mess right now, so I wanted to see if there are greener pastures here. Any tips are welcome. I literally have no idea what I'm doing.

When will we get our own persistently-broken video player? That's super important for my quality use experience.

Rest in peace RIF. I was honestly heartbroken. I know how sad that must sound, but goddamn, I used it daily for 6 years. It made my office hours and daily commute on the subway so much better.

I wasn't thrilled at the idea of leaving Reddit after 14 years but some things cannot be avoided. My first post here on Lemmy. Thank you for the warm welcome!

Wandering around, RiFless, looking for something to do on the internet.

I've been here a week or two now. It's going better than Voat did for me when I last tried to leave Reddit. That was full of alt-right crazies basically, but so far here, people have been lovely.

Bathroom's that way.

Is there a currency equivalent to Reddit gold here? What’s the point of this if I can’t say “Thanks for the gold kind stranger” ???

My goodness me. This place rocks. Like the way the internet used to be. Fuck corporate greed. Fuck ads. Fuck egocentric dictatorships. And hello to The Future.

Really hope this takes off and remains open and non-commercial.

I already like the vibe of this place more, at least socially. The site is a bit cumbersome but I'm willing to stick with it to see how it can get better. Plus Sync for Lemmy will be coming and then my life will be fixed.

Honestly seeing all the corpos ruining the platforms that are what they are because millions of people contributed to them. Youtube, Reddit, Twitter, etc. give so much power to their owners yet they don't realize it past their next dollar. I think internet should have always been a fediverse instead of what it has become.

Thanks, so far Lemmy is looking like an interesting place with good vibes all round!

So many people joined, which is amazing

We are all out here in the ether together brothers!

It's nice to be wanted.

Closed Reddit account and embarking on this new adventure with lemmy.

First post! 🤸

Hello. Glad to be here. I'm not going back to reddit, they nuked Sync for Reddit and I refuse to use reddit app.

Hey, hello community this is my first comment on Lemmy, good to see you all.

Wait... Where am I? I'm getting withdrawal symptoms. 11 years wandering the Reddit... I'm lost, a little confused, possibly afraid.

Reddit was fun but the admins are insane, I reported an account that was posting CP and they banned me whilst claiming they took action against that account yet it is still up. Classy.

Incoming user from reddit! My app got shut down. I was salty about it so I decided that I was going to find an alternative, rather than use the official app, and I found lemmy! I like the community vibe so far. I'm still figuring out how different communities and instances work together with federating. I was always more of a lurker on reddit, but I might try to become a more active commenter (for community engagement!)

This atmosphere has good vibe. Goodbye RIF, hello Lemmy 👋

First post here!

As a former Apollo user, I’m super impressed by wefwef. Does anyone know what’s in store for its development? I’d love to see a native iOS app.

Hello everyone! Thank you to everyone working to keep servers running during this influx of signups and all the helpful posts I'm seeing around explaining instances and generally how to Lemmy.

What's to stop a single Lemmy instance from going "this is taking too much time and money to run, I'm shutting this server down"? I guess that can apply to any service, but monetization sometimes prevents that from happening. But in this case it's all volunteer work and running a server takes resources.

What happens to all the users created under that Lemmy instance?

Where is my can of beans?

Cant see comments, fixed it! It was an adblocker

My first lemmy comment

Don't worry ya'll we 'll ruin it for ya

Hiii im here from reddit but, when i tried to post the post has been being uploaded for the past 2 hours, also loading communities and upvoting has been EXTREMELY slow ;'D

btw this is a hella cool site

To all my Apollo refugees that are struggling with the interface. wefwef.app is basically a clone of Apollo for this site. The name is shity but it works great!

First comment on Lemmy. Is there a ELI5 for Lemmy to help get us started? I'm using the Connect Lemmy app!
