Ask Lemmy

Amazing!! I can click on something with some algorithm now shoving 1,500 similar thing down my throa. Also, feeds are not choked with people trying to farm "engagement" be any means neciesary.

Learned lemmy exsisted recently. How I'm doing? I'm getting through the days well enough to keep going with an even pace. Trying to focus on my family and my health, rather than the burning world around me. I check my news sites and scroll through the fediverse, hoping looking for good news. I get some of that, but a lot of it is bad news. But going through the fediverse has shown be like minded people, and people who feel just as frustrated and helpless as I do.

Knowing I'm not crazy Seeing that there are people trying to do good It gives me hope.

I feel like this is the right time to move to Lemmy.. I lost faith in Reddit and it is starting to feel like everything is either an ad or a bot.. I feel like the community heee is more genuine and real (we can only hope). And if more people feel like the big tech sites (Facebook/google/reddit) is now in the US Gov’s pocket then maybe it’s time to find alternatives. Blue sky is rocketing on that front but men I prefer the Reddit style discourse. Lemmy checks all those boxes. I’m hoping in time more communities pop up and more users follow.

Trying to get used to it - slowly. I like it so far! Still super pissed that Reddit can just arbitrarily ban accounts, basically without recourse, and shut you out from any community you were in. Lots of niche queer ones I was in... just can't participate anymore.

Working on it. Little lonely since most of communities from reddit don’t seem to be here but still searching so we’ll see.

Definitely feeling like I need to install linux on my mac though, perhaps as some sort of initiation?

Heres some websites to help you find the lemmy communities that best fit as replacements for the subreddits you used to frequent:

https://sub.rehab/?visibleServices=lemmy

https://redditmigration.com/

I like it here, unfortunately a lot of the more niche communities that I'm in haven't, and probably won't migrate here.

Trying to make a doc for migrants. Just the overview. Got the cold shoulder from one of the small web guys equating Lemmy to heroine. Essentially 'either do it like me or you are wrong'

Same as it ever was online.

As for me? Missing a few communities. Kinda head scratching at things over all, but it could be worse.

Both want to make a few instances and have no energy to babysit them.

There's a few communities I'm missing still, mostly shitpost and fan fiction subs. I'd like to start them but I'm still not sure of my own footing yet.

good thanks I've sucked 4 dicks already

Pro: there is a Lemmy app (Voyager) based on the amazing Apollo for Reddit app.

Cons: Like 5 people total were chatting about the Super Bowl in the most populous NFL community.

There don’t seem to be parallels to most of the communities I belonged to on Reddit.

Still going to give it a try, but my excitement waned pretty quickly.

I deleted my last account on another instance and started a new one. So technically I'm not really NEW. But to answer your question, I wanna die.

Enjoying it. I'm loving the filters I can use to limit some of the political spam.

I have to confess. I still scroll Reddit from time to time (no longer use my account), and the front page just has a lot more variety. There's still a lot of bot content from the occasional AITA that's purely clickbait to the reposts.

I do like that comments and conversations are better here. I'm seeing familiar names and I like it.

Still trying to figure this all out.

It sucks to prepare for a new social media home. I am still on Reddit, but I know it’s only a matter of time before some broligarch decides to take it down or do a TikTok reboot.

It's going okay! Still trying to decide which instance to call home. I still find myself on reddit probably equal amount to Lemmy though, unfortunately

Did something happen on the alien site last week?

Definitely better at navigating this week than last
