The best way to escape the doomer shit like you did on Reddit is to create equivalent Lemmy communities. For example, I personally wanted to see more Bingus memes on Lemmy, so I created [email protected] so that the Fediverse could be graced with the presence of Bingus.

If you liked r/furry_irl and r/polandball on Reddit, and want to see that kind of stuff on Lemmy, all you gotta do is hit that little "create community" button and replicate all your favorite escapes from political nonsense and Linux memes (tho I must admit Linux memes are really cool).

Yeah, the Lemmy communities you create may not get as big as their Reddit counterparts, but that's just kinda how it works around here.

Yeah, but then I'd have to be a moderator and I just don't really have the energy or dedication for that. Especially if I wanted to run a polandball community on par with reddit's. They had some hardcore rules.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
