RULE 1: IF YOU VISIT THIS COMMUNITY, YOU MUST POST BEFORE LEAVING!!
The Lemmy equivalent of r/195 on Reddit. Not officially affiliated (yet).
Any moderators from the reddit can have mod here, just ask.
There's another 196 over on [email protected]
Most people use the Blahaj.zone one so this place isn't very active.
ALL HAIL LORD SPRONKUS!!!
For real though, since I joined Lemmy (last Friday, 4 days into blackout) I probably spend as much daily time here as I spent there before blackout π but I'm enjoying it !
It's nice to see posts made by real people; this way (using Lemmy), you realize just how much bots' crap is Reddit made of.
Agree. The lack of bots, sponsored posts and AutoMod comments are a breath of fresh air
oh man I do not miss scrolling past the thousand word automod essay on every freaking post. I kinda miss sorting by controversial though.
That reminds me of r/shitposting, there used to be a time where you could ruin an entire post and have like more than 50 replies of the autobot alone
Apollo auto-collapsed those AutoMod posts so I never had to deal with them. π₯²
nice!
Seems like it's being worked on though. The controversial calculation is still being tweaked for performance & an experience similar to reddit: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2515
Excuse me, does anyone know how to delete someone else's post? I'm in this picture and I don't like it.
Just kidding, I love it here.
Same here, it took me a while to figure out how Lemmy works, but I think I'm getting it. Honestly I can't believe I haven't found out about this before now. Go fediverse!
Me: I have to spend less time on social media.
Also me: Federation is right thing. Do not leave!
The first few days were kind of tough; but once I started finding communities I liked, my feed got pretty nice.
This place is already doing what reddit did for me and Jerboa is very close to the 3rd party app I used. Fuck reddit and spez, hello Lemmy!
Best way to fight an addiction is to get addicted to something else
oh I know... I'm so much more active here. It's just a nicer atmosphere for engagement.
Indeed! This is where reddit goes to die, to paraphrase a great contemporary philosopher (/s/s/s, ΓΌber/s, in case it's needed)
Four /s's means you're being sarcastic about being sarcastic about being sarcastic about being sarcastic - so, you're not being sarcastic!
I spent way too long trying to compute this.
rewinds timeline
"Hello world, Please notice I'm currently being sarcastic. Have a very nice day, Sincerely."
Or I could just edit my post, but...
It's even worse now tbh lol!
Just to avoid scree time after reddit blackout, I had uninstalled other social media apps as well. But got suck into Lemmy right after that.
So true! I had high aspirations to cut down on screen time post Reddit, but the fediverse comes along and sucked me right back in!
Lemmy is the first platform I've come across that I'm actually excited to use in many years. Being federated and not motivated by profits (with all the tracking and selling of personal information that it entails) makes me feel like I'm not the product.
LoL. I wasn't really distracted by random subs on reddit. But on Lemmy. People are into flashlights???!!
I know! Thank God I'm not the only one. I've been seeing that community constantly while trying to figure out how to use Lemmy.
I never thought of myself as addicted to social media, but I got more studying done in two days than I have in two months. It made me realize how much SM consumed my time.
Trying to fill the void has shown me just how large the void was in the first place.
Iβm on kbin and yeah, this is my new home
Aw, Lemmy's cute. Way cuter than that try-hard hussy Snoo.
We've got to spend the time to help the place grow! (and other excuses)
I didn't really want to quit yet anyway. I feel this post though.
I'm in this picture and I don't Like it.
Still need to figure out things (for as much as Jerboa for Lemmy is nice, it can't hold a candle to Sync), but same here.
lj just announced he's starting work on sync for lemmy :)
Just dropped on Reddit after a week just to show my support. Thanks for the heads up!
Better interaction here and not a bunch of people trying to one up each other in the comment threads. Iβve found my new home π
Still figuring it out, but have liked what Iβve seen so far. I was wondering what I was going to do without something to scroll, Lemmy wouldnβt let my addiction go to waste!
I do not miss the agent-arranged, canned-response, obvious movie/book/TV show AMA's...
Victoria days were the best...
Maybe we can build something similar
I feel this so much. After day 3 of me joining I am barely able to keep up with everything going on , also life has beinf busy but still i didn't expect to get this buzzing so quickly.
Good decision.
I feel seen.
I'm still trying to wrap around my mind about how this federated universe works. Like i know that I could access the content of this instance (is this the correct name?) from Mastodon and I did subcribe to a few lemmy instances from there but didn't manage to read any posts. Plus the thing that in Lemmy i use an account from another instance and I can read and post on everything but not by accessing it directly. It's kind of counfusing and I think this will be the greatest break to it's diffusion. Otherwise definitely better than Twitter/Reddit for sure.
This should help
Lmao I love the emphasis on "everywhere else" with Beehaw at the center as if they hadn't just defederated half of Lemmy from their instance including two of the ones displayed in the image (LW&SJW)
Hey, at least it's not ~~crack~~ reddit
Man I feel this. I'm excited though!
There is no escape. Ever.
i feel bad about this for some reason
