Hey, I've been looking at what I'm subscribed to on Lemmy and it really grim, and not really what I want from a social media. I'm into tech, but the tech subs talk about evil things companies do, a lot of linux meme and programmer humor, and it's all cool and all, piracy talking about how it's bad what certain company do. And when you go in global it's "Amercan Politics" "Elon Musk Bad" "Stealing data", "our world ending"

Recently my brother and I where bored, and I went to show him we moved to lemmy, and said we had memes and all the stuff here. And looking at top memes, it was "complaining about big tech", and "complaining on windows".

And, I miss a bit all I had on Reddit not going to lie.

So is there any active community with some positive things anywhere you'd recommend. I just feel like I'm in a bad angry environment.

I've got:

Edit: Wow! If you come after, I'd truly, truly invite you to look around in the comments, people here truly changed the way I see Lemmy, its way different now! Way better!

I'm not well versed in Lemmy so this might be totally incorrect but I think if you share a link, instead of the c/ you put "!" at the front so people of different instances can open them community on their own instance.

I'm basically just regurgitating what I've read and it could be wrong.

Also just for the sake of conversation, one of my favourite wholesome Reddit subs was mum for a minute where people without mother's would go for motherly support and congratulations. I haven't seen anything like it here yet.

I've changed it, thank you very much!

No problem at all haha. I'm glad it worked tbh. Nothing worse that offering up advice for it to just be wrong.

I can't speak for any of the apps but all these should link to the community through your own instance

/m/ /m/[email protected]

/c/ /c/[email protected]

! [email protected]

Interestingly, Connect is formatting all of them with an exclamation point instead of the first slash, like !m/

Ah ok, I'm using an android app so that may be why I don't get a clickable(tappable?) link unless it is an exclamation point to start it.

I'm on memmy, and the only links that are clickable have no exclamation mark at the start.... So hmmm. Not universal?

I guess not. I haven't got the slightest with these things.
