Welcome to the fediverse!
After a year I went back and tried using Reddit again, wow, what an absolute shit show. That site got noticeably worse.
I had an account there for 8 years with no issue, and this time around I was perma banned after a week cause the mods have really gone off the deep end.
Most threads are filled with Ai comments that all say basically the same thing, and if your comment differs you're banned. You can't have a discussion there anymore
12yr Reddit account being abandoned cause of all the fuckery. Happy to be a Lemming now
Hi there everyone!
Hi, all! This is my first comment on Lemmy. I’m exited to be here!
It’s sad watching Reddit go the way of the dodo, but I’m happy to see everyone come together to give the big ole fuck you to u/spez in solidarity and migrate over when they effectively broke Apollo and the other 3pd apps
Still trying to figure this Lemmy thing out. I have an account with Lemmy.World, but I can still post/view other instances if they are shared? Anyways now that RiF is gone, guess I'm done with Reddit. Glad to be here!
Yes, instances share data. It's called federation. Nice intro to how all this works: https://github.com/amirzaidi/lemmy
That github link is totally fkn excellent. Thanks.
First comment on Lemmy. Is there a ELI5 for Lemmy to help get us started? I'm using the Connect Lemmy app!
Best I can say is that you have your local server, which is the server you originally signed up in. You then have all the rest of the connected (federated) servers that can see what you say.
Each server is its own mini-lemmy, so it is broken down into communities just like subreddits. Each has its own server administrators and each community has its own moderators.
Regarding content delivery, it seems to be about the same process: a link, image, video, or text from a certain community. The responses are similarly threaded with buttons for interaction.
The largest differences I have seen are that each server instance can have duplicate communities. Different servers have different tolerances for communities. In extreme cases, whole servers can be blocked (defederated) from your server. This is usually due to unwanted behavior from the users that is not curbed by the moderators or extreme communities that cause hardship for other users.
This is what I got after about a week of lurking. If I'm not correct, please let me know.
Thank you for the warm welcome. Any tips and tricks for us Reddit refugees?
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
Yeah looks like lemmy.world is slow today. Not surprised due to the influx of users. Ruud and the team has been working on it diligently the last couple of weeks, expanding hardware, writing code, fixing bugs, etc. Please be patient as we grow!
My first lemmy comment
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!
Commenting to count. Also, hi ^^
Just signed up a few hours ago and trying to get a feel of the place. Looking good so far :)
Good News everyone! I do feel welcomed into the future, this is my first post. I finally got signed up after I found wefwef and knew it was the missing link and now I could enjoy the fediverse.
I didn’t even try going to the official app. Oh my no.
This all reminds me of the big Digg migration. Reddit likes to think that people chose it because it was special. For a good majority of us, especially the 10+ year accounts, it was Digg's terrible redesign and very poor product decisions. The nail in the coffin was not understanding its core content producing users willingness to move. History repeats itself.
I was a Digg! refugee.
Me too! I was on reddit for about 15 years, passed through some stories there. I hope we have a lot of cool safes to open here. At the end, We should´ve come before. This is the model of internet we should encourage, but reddit was too confortable for anything else. Now is the time! The funny thing is that I neve spent money on reddit, but I already signed up for donations here.
Well it was a good ride at Reddit. I was using Reddit since since 2006 as a lurker. Lemmy is now my home. Hi all!
I think registration finally worked this time. Good news, everyone!
Redditor here. Feeling a little lost and confused. :)
Hang in there. Explore. It will become familiar...
Rip Rif. Hello Lemmy.
Spiderman: Into The Fediverse
My first comment on Lemmy!
Here from RiF! First post on Lemmy, here's to a bright future ^^
Here we go.
NGL
it doesn't feel great, but change is never easy. but this thing is pretty damn cool
Apollo refugee here! Let’s hope this sticks because I lost all trust in Reddit.
Good news everyone! I’ve just smelled out an entirely new parallel dimension called the fediverse
Thanks for the warm welcome! I used Apollo since 2018 and I was disappointed with how reddit treated Christian.
Heelo there
