Lemmy

Reporting for duty!

I'll try my best 😅

I remember reddit in 08 and it was better, less toxicity

Will do

I feel like leaving reddit is a big change in my life. Hopefully, Lemmy takes off and remains a much more positive place.

Completely agree! I was a lurker on Reddit. I’m trying to be more active here. It seems less intimidating than Reddit.

Excited to be here y'all.

Already been posting and commenting more than I ever did in countless years on Reddit!

I think on Reddit there was so many voices I hardly felt it was worth posting or commenting. Someone else would have already posted my thoughts and done it much more eloquently than I would have.

Here every little act of engagement helps, so I’m just jumping right in to posting & commenting without second guessing myself.

Don't tell me what to do!

Ah shit...

Ok, you win this round.

It's nice to be part of a smaller community again! Hopefully we see more people make the switch

Yeah I use to be a mad lurker in Reddit, but Lemmy I have become so much more active

Based on my experiences on Reddit, I've honestly found that voting is not just incredibly easy¹, but also something that at least I found myself engaging with when I didn't want to write a comment myself LOL

¹ due to the very local results of votes in this kind of format, it doesn't have the same feel as, say, a thumbs up on YouTube (and I very rarely engage with thumbs up etc as a result there), if that makes sense? Like, it's limited to that particular level of the conversation

I am telling everyone about Lemmy. Unite!

Posting memes always seemed so easy until you have to do it lmao

I was a Redditor for years and rarely posted anything and only sometimes commented. Predominantly a lurker but I have been doing my best to comment here the last few days, more than I have in the last 6 months on Reddit and feel less judged for comments. Reminds me of the early days of Reddit when things were simpler. Ah… very much a Pepperidge Farm remembers moment.

I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and trying to set up a game thread for the NHL Stanley Cup Finals game tomorrow. Please come join and discuss if you're interested!

Hello, new reddit refugee here. I've been hearing about the fediverse and mastodon some time now. Heard about lenny a couple of months ago, but didn't feel the need to make an account at the time. With the dumpfire that's going on it reddit I figured it was high time I jumped ship.

I have a question that might sound stupid. Is there a way to get the same functionality as reddit's custom feeds in lemmy? Where you have multiple feeds that are "subscribed" to different sets of communities.

It’s a bit difficult getting into Lemmy and the feediverse I gotta say. But after looking around for a while I really like how things work here, compared to reddit

I used to pretty much just lurk when I used reddit, I'd maybe post a comment every few months, but really I'd just lurk. I've easily past the number of posts and comments I ever made to reddit during the many years of using it daily. Initially I wanted to make an effort for Lemmy to succeed, obviously it has less people so as your post is suggesting, I was trying to do my part. I found I really enjoy posting here though, the community is really great.

I'll try to remember to post things here that may be relevant

I joined Lemmy today. I've been getting into Mastodon recently as well and I have to say the comfy feeling I'm getting from the governance resiliency of FOSS and federated spaces(FFOSS?) is wonderful. This has the same feeling as when I first tried GNU/Linux so many years ago. :D

Let's defeat the 90/9/1-rule!

I'm not lurking. You are!

Commented and voted.

And just noticed I can bold and format easily?

Just deleted all of my posts and a 12-year old reddit account. So long Reddit...

There is no engagement algorithm; it's us :)
